Oop! Looks like Nick Cannon is the latest celebrity to weigh in on Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty. As we previously reported, Kenneth has been placed on house arrest after threatening Migos rapper Offset in a recent video.
Footage of Petty and friends threatening Offset began circulating on social media last week with a pair of clips. In the video, the group appears to be standing outside a building seemingly waiting to run into Offset. “Offset where you at?” someone says in the clip. Kenneth then was seen on the camera and said, “Plan that vacation, (you’re) going to be planning your funeral.” Now after his reckless comments, a petition was filed Wednesday in the Central District of California U.S. District Court, a probation officer requested Petty to participate in a home detention program for a period of up to 120 days as a result of his threat toward Offset in the video. The program may include “electronic monitoring, GPS, Alcohol Monitoring Unit or automated identification system.”

“Mr. Petty was recorded on video making threatening remarks towards a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record,” the petition read. “Placement in the Location Monitoring Program will effectively allow for closer monitoring of Mr. Petty’s activities, limit his movements, provide a sanction for his non-compliance, and hopefully encourage him to reflect upon and reevaluate his current status in the community.”
Nick cannon weighed in on the trending topic on his radio show and shared, “He is tarnishing the brand,” Nick Cannon began his remarks. “You’re standing on the corner of the block outside of the VMAs. If you a street dude, be a street dude. Don’t be on the Internet! Street dudes didn’t even get on the phone. Real gangsters move in silence! He got a bunch of other cats around him. ‘Yeah, we outside.’ We know, n***a! I’m all for keeping it street, but keep it street smart. You on punishment, no TV for you for 120 days.”

Nick Cannon wasn’t the only one to speak on it. Charlamagne Tha God also gave Kenneth ‘Donkey Of The Day’ for his actions and said, “Number one, you should’ve been let go of all the childish ways of the street, first and foremost,” he started off. “That’s number one. But number two, I remember a time where folks wouldn’t talk about any dirt over the phone. Now y’all recording yourselves in 4K and posting it online? I know law enforcement be having a ball looking at these n***as.”
