## Resource

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, is fighting to have a $20 million civil lawsuit dismissed after presenting a 1994 letter from accuser Jennifer Hough—where she admits her rape claims were “half true and half false” and that she felt pressured into sex. His team argues the letter undermines her current allegations of rape and emotional distress, claiming any contact was consensual and no threats occurred. Hough denies recognizing the letter, but Petty’s lawyers are using it to challenge her story and push for dismissal—without affecting his pending criminal charges. The case resurfaced amid Petty’s sex offender registration controversy, where Hough alleged he was pressured to influence his status with money and intimidation. Now, Petty’s legal team seeks a court pause while they review the motion, arguing some claims are too late and lack direct evidence linking him to later threats.
