Nicki Minaj‘s husband’s in hot water online … with many blasting him — and Nicki, by extension — after he used a gay slur in a TikTok live.

Kenneth Petty appeared alongside Nicki in a music studio when they went live Friday night … and, while Nicki told her fans not to let people steal their joy, KP added his own controversial two cents.

Kenneth says, “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” using a derogatory term for gay people used prevalently in the rap world.

As you can imagine, people aren’t happy with Kenneth online … and, many of them are pissed at Nicki too — ’cause she didn’t correct her man in the clip.

Tons of fans are pointing out Nicki has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase, but she didn’t stand up for them when Kenneth used the term … and it’s got many saying she doesn’t really care about her Barbz.

The couple married in 2019 … and welcomed a son the following year. Some controversy has followed the pair since after Petty was forced to register as a sex offender in California in 2020 stemming from his 1995 first-degree attempted rape conviction.
