A Los Angeles federal judge has ordered Nicki Minaj‘s husband, Kenneth Petty, to serve “up to” 120 days on home detention for “making threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.”

The specific individual in question is Offset, Cardi B’s husband. Last week, Kenneth Petty and his entourage posted numerous videos on Instagram Stories in which they made threats against the former Migos rapper and expressed intentions to locate and harm him. Petty exclaimed, “You n**gas are nervous, man. You boys are p**sy for real. You b**ches are nervous.” He then posed the question, “What’s up, man? What’s going on? What are y’all trying to do?”

Further into the video, Petty continued, “We’re out here to talk, right? Let’s talk, but you know we ain’t talking, though. P**sy a n**ga, I don’t know who y’all think y’all are playing with.”

On the morning of September 16th, Offset took to his Instagram Story to publicly address the group of men, referring to them as “broke.” In his video, he said, “I am getting off the jet. What are these n**gas talking about?” He then concluded with, “These n**gas are broke. We’re hopping off jets, b**ch. These n**gas are standing outside.”

Meghann Cunnif, who posted the filing, stated that the probation officer and judge did not require an external report or complaint to take action in this matter. She also noted that Offset and Cardi B appeared unfazed by the threats, with Offset responding to the situation by laughing about it in a video as he disembarked from a jet. The rapper was en route to see Deion Sanders at a Colorado game.

Cardi B responded to the motion and Meghann Cunnif’s tweet on X (formerly Twitter) with the statement, “EXACTLY, KEEP ME AND MY MAN OUT OF Y’ALL F**KIN’ MOUTHS!!!”

Irish Grinstead, a member of the R&B girl group 702, passed away on Saturday, September 17, at the age of 43. The somber news was confirmed by her sister and fellow group member, LeMisha Grinstead, who shared a heartfelt statement on social media.

In her statement, LeMisha Grinstead expressed her profound sadness, saying, “It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that my beautiful sister and friend has passed away this evening. She has had a long battle and she is finally at peace. That girl was as bright as the stars! She was not only beautiful on the outside, but also within. Sharing the stage with her was a joy I will cherish for the rest of my life! We, the family ask for prayers and respect for our privacy as we grieve an outstanding loss to our family.”

Tragically, this marks the second loss of a sibling and former group member for LeMisha, as she had previously lost their sister, Orish Grinstead, in 2008 due to kidney failure.

702 burst onto the music scene in the early ’90s, becoming known for their hit singles such as “Where My Girls At,” “Get It Together,” and “Steelo,” the latter of which was remixed for the 2000s Nickelodeon show, Cousin Skeeter. Following the release of their 2003 album Star, the group disbanded but occasionally reunited.

In 2022, Irish took a hiatus from 702 for undisclosed health reasons.

Our condolences extend to the friends and family of Irish Grinstead during this difficult time.

On the evening of September 15th, Kenneth Petty, who is married to the rapper Nicki Minaj, made waves by sharing a video alongside two other individuals, where he explicitly stated his intention to locate Offset. This video marked the inaugural public exchange between the respective spouses of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

This development occurred hot on the heels of Cardi B’s subtle social media post in response to the recent VMAs. In her tweet, she cryptically asserted, “I ain’t even flinch,” a comment perceived as a reaction to Nicki Minaj’s performance of her new single. “These b**ches ain’t badder than me; you b**ches don’t count, you b**ches can’t count; I’m not the one, two or the three,” Nicki rapped. “You b**ches look up to me; you said you look up to her, but really, you look up to me,” she continued.

Although the video indicated that these men were actively seeking Offset in the streets of New York City, it turned out that Offset was in Atlanta, on a live stream via Twitch alongside Kai Cenat. In the video clip, one of Petty’s companions is heard asking, “Offset, where are you?”

Petty didn’t hold back, responding with, , “You n**gas nervous, man. You boys p**sy for real. You b**ches is nervous.” He then posed the question, “What’s up, man? What’s going on? What y’all trying to do?”

Further into the video, Petty continued, “We out here to talk, right? Let’s talk, but you know we ain’t talking, though. P**sy a** n**ga, I don’t know who y’all think y’all playing with.”

This morning, on September 16th, Offset took to his Instagram Story to publicly address the group of men, dubbing them as “broke.” In his video, he says, “I am getting off the jet. What these n**gas talking about?” He then ended with, “These n**gas broke. We hopping off jets, b**ch. These n**gas standing outside.”
