Nicki Minaj's boyfriend has quite the past.

According to TMZ, the "Barbie Dream" rapper's new boo Kenneth Petty is the "ultimate bad boy."  Not only has he been convicted of first-degree attempted rape and first-degree manslaughter, but while he served time for said offenses he received nearly 20 prison violations due to his behavior.

Kenneth, who is a registered sex offender, was reportedly "written up 18 times from 2006 to 2013 while he was serving time for a manslaughter conviction in New York." The 18 violations include three for violent conduct, stemming from threats and fighting, and five violations for disobeying a direct order, TMZ reports. There was also a 2009 incident where he was "cited for nine separate violations," and received four months in solitary confinement as punishment. 

As previously reported, after Nicki went Instagram public with her new relationship with Kenneth on Monday (December 11), she was almost instantly bombarded with criticism of her 40-year-old beau, who she's reportedly known since high school, as fans began slamming Kenneth over his troubled past. 

Kenneth was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in April 1995 after he reportedly used a sharp object when he tried to force his female victim to have sexual intercourse. Kenneth was 16 at the time and so was the victim. He served nearly four years in prison for the crime. After he was released from that sentence, Kenneth would later go on to serve another seven years in prison for first-degree manslaughter. He was released in 2013.

Nicki addressed her man's past on Instagram Monday, responding to a commenter who came to Kenneth's defense. "He was 15, she was 16... in a relationship," Nicki wrote. "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 Queens native also posted two photos of her and Kenneth with the caption:  "Oh they wanna talk? Let's give'm sumthn to talk about. *Shania voice*."
