She confirmed her marriage to convicted sex offender Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty in a series of Instagram posts on Monday.

But Nicki Minaj’s wedding to her former childhood boyfriend was understood to be a low-key,

precautionary affair prompted by the looming expiration date on their marriage licence, with a bigger ceremony set to follow at an unspecified date.

The rapper, 36, exchanged vows with Petty in front of ‘several family members’ at a private Los Angeles home on Monday, TMZ reports.

However the need to push the service through was necessary due to their temporary, 90-day marriage licence, which is reportedly set to expire at the end of October.

Sources claim the couple will follow Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin’s lead by following their intimate marriage ceremony with a significantly larger, lavish service – but they are yet to establish when this will take place.

Speaking in August, the Queens, New York native opened up on her Beats 1 show Queen Radio of the paperwork process leading up to the altar, as she and Petty had obtained a wedding licence.

She said: ‘We still had to pick it up and I was traveling, by the time I came back, we had to renew it again.

‘From that time, you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days.’

Minaj said she was ‘very happy about that because my baby makes me so happy’ in reference to Perry, with whom she reunited in 2018 after previously dating as teenagers. 

The rapper seemed to confirm her marriage with a video on Instagram on Monday that shows off Mr. and Mrs. coffee mugs and bride and groom hats. 

She also changed her Twitter name to Mrs. Petty. Her caption read: ‘Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10-21-19.’ Minaj’s real name is Onika Maraj.
