Nicki Minaj has come under fire after making her new registered sex offender boyfriend Kenneth “Zoo” Petty IG official on Monday. 

The Barbz have been pleading with their queen to explain why she is dating Petty following details of his attempted rape of 16-year-old girl at age 15, which led to him serving time and on landing sex offender list. 

Following the outrage, the "Good Form" rapper replied on a fan that commented on a picture of her and Petty saying, "He was 15, she was 16 ... in a relationship. But go awf, internet. y'all can't run my life. Y'all can't even run y'all own life. Thank you boo."

The  Hollywood Life has also reported that Petty has been arrested 12 times and while most the arrests are unknown they uncovered that some of his charges including:

- operating an unlicensed vehicle

- failure to stop at a stop sign

- operating a vehicle while license is suspended or revoked

- attempted first-degree rape of a 16-year-old-girl for which he spent 18-54 months in prison.

While  The Blast reports that he was involved in the fatal shooting of a man named Lamont Robinson. 

Petty pleaded guilty in March 2006 after cutting a deal which reduced the charge from second-degree murder to manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, of which he served seven.

Y’all are so hellbent on protecting Nicki that y’all refuse to hear any other stories. It’s ok to say that’s wrong and I’m still going to support. Nobody is asking for anything otherwise. But don’t bash people for being rightfully upset.

. @NICKIMINAJ seriously what have you become? Defending pedophiles and now rapist/murderers? like is this your new job? The Grammys had a good reason to snub you. So now if a girl is one year older than her rapist, it makes it all ok? You're fucking disgusting pic.twitter.com/8rwKmyPRMo

I have fought, defended and stood by Nicki Minaj for so long. I'm sorry, at this point it's just not worth it. She is just - wow. She really loves rapists and pedophiles. Disgusting. I just cant be part of that anymore.

imagine working hard for over a decade to secure yourself as the queen of rap, then having it all stripped away because you wanted to date a convicted felon with five children that you met at a turkey giveaway.
