Nicki Minaj, born Onika Tnaya Maraj, will be having a second wedding after marrying Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty, 41, in a private ceremony at her home on October 21st.
The 36-year-old would like to celebrate her union with friends and family at a more traditional and glamorous wedding.
The couple had already obtained their marriage license in the summer, which was about to expire at the end of October. In order to avoid applying for another license, the Pettys decided to do a small wedding without all the Hollywood glitz and glam. Minaj posted hints of the secret ceremony on social media.
“We’ve gotten our marriage license, but there’s a particular pastor who I want to officiate and so she was just made available as of today,” Minaj posted. “She told me she’s available within the next week, so we could be married in the next seven days.”
The “Moment For Life” rapper confirmed her marriage when she went on Instagram and posted a video of bride and groom hats and mugs from the wedding with a caption saying “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10-21-19”.
The lovebirds started their relationship as friends when they were teens. As adults, Minaj married Petty after one year of dating. Sources are reporting that the platinum-selling rapper is very happy with her new spouse.
