Nicki Minaj & Husband Sued by Alleged Attempted Rape Victim for Harassment
Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty are being sued by Petty’s alleged attempted rape victim who claims they have been intimidating and harassing her.
According to the New York Times, Jennifer Hough, filed a lawsuit Friday, stemming from a case in 1994 when she was just 16.
Per court documents, Hough claims Nicki “directly and indirectly intimidated” her in an alleged attempt to get her to “recant her legitimate claim that Defendant Petty raped her.”

As we reported, Hough claims Petty, who was also 16 at the time had raped her after forcing her into a home at knife point. Petty was subsequently arrested and charged with first-degree rape, and later pled guilty to attempted rape, serving around 4 years in jail.
Hough claims that Nicki and Kenneth had their associates offer money to her family and “offering to have Defendant Minaj record a birthday video for Plaintiff’s daughter.”
Nicki is even alleged to have gone as far as offering “$500,000.00 in exchange for Plaintiff recanting her 1994 rape claim against Defendant,” and “stalking and harassing Plaintiff’s twenty-two-year-old daughter while her daughter was out with friends in Georgia.”
Hough is suing Minaj and Petty for intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment, and witness intimidation. In addition also suing Kenneth for sexual assault in connection with the ’95 rape.
