Now that I&#8217;m there, I don&#8217;t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Back in March,&nbsp;on another episode of her Beats1 show, the rapper cheekily referred to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1022949\/nicki-minaj-just-referred-to-her-boyfriend-kenneth-petty-as-her-husband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Petty as her husband<\/a>. &#8220;Every night when I get out of the shower, my husband takes this really good lotion that we just bought and he massages my feet and rubs them,&#8221; the 00-year-old said. &#8220;He rubs each toe individually, and the heel and the ball of my foot\u2014he does it all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61.802727272727\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"18.205454545455\">\n<p>Including, uh, pleasing her. From the get go, the candid &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; rapper has been open about their relationship, even the TMI aspects. Asked by a fan how many times they have sex a night, she swiftly responds, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1002818\/nicki-minaj-goes-full-tmi-and-reveals-how-many-times-she-and-her-boyfriend-have-sex-every-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3-4 on average<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And, it&nbsp;seems as if marriage has always been on their minds. In December, she made a reference to possible vows on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BrWBJ2TAPQy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, captioning a series of cuddly pictures. &#8220;He want me to be his wife- his MISSIS like SIPPI NOW.&#8221; The following month, she tweeted that they &#8220;already chose&#8221; baby names for their future offspring.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-3\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"58.964218455744\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"13.31450094162\">\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s like the male version of my bff TT,&#8221; Minaj wrote in&nbsp;a follow-up tweet, explaining that their relationship goes far back. &#8220;They both can make me calm with one look, hug, word. I tell them both all the time. My peace. Cuz they knew me since I was a kid so they understand me in a diff way I guess. Him &amp; TT used to hate each other when we was younger tho lol.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, they&#8217;re forever inked on each other&#8217;s hearts\u2014and his neck. In December,&nbsp;Minaj&nbsp;revealed that he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/998938\/nicki-minaj-s-new-boyfriend-gets-her-name-tattooed-on-his-neck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gotten her named&nbsp;tattooed<\/a>&nbsp;in large letters on his body.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"55.868068833652\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"10.990439770554\">\n<p>Still, he proves to be quite the controversial pick for the artist. Petty is a registered sex&nbsp;offender&nbsp;in New York and has reportedly been convicted of attempted rape. According to TMZ, he spent four years state prison and in 2006 was sentenced to 10 years in prison after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/995036\/nicki-minaj-s-rumored-new-boyfriend-went-to-prison-for-manslaughter-and-attempted-rape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not that Minaj is&nbsp;going to let the negativity weigh her down. &#8220;Go awf Internet,&#8221; she wrote when news of his past surfaced. &#8220;Y&#8217;all can&#8217;t run my life.
