Nicki Minaj has left her fans puzzled after posting a cryptic post to her X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday. The rapper, 41, who is currently globetrotting while on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, took to the social media platform to tell her fans about an Instagram post she shared showing off the new Dolce and Gabbana dress she wore on a recent stop in Paris, France.

Minaj -- born Onika Tanya Maraj -- married high school flame Kenneth Petty in October 2019, and they are parents to a 3-year-old son, whom they refer to publicly as Papa Bear. The rapper has frequently defended her husband against social media criticism for his criminal record.

He served more than four years in prison and was ordered to register as a sex offender. In November 2019, during a traffic stop, law enforcement discovered that Petty had yet to register as a sex offender in California after he moved to the state from New York, according to his booking sheet, which ET previously obtained.
