Nicki continued: ‘You want to have control over everything, but that’s the easiest way to be unhappy. So now, if I find myself trying to control it all, I try to remember what’s really important.’ ‘I look in my son’s face, and my whole soul lights up. He has no clue how nerve-wracking it’s been for me to be a mother and an artist,’ the rapper added. For the cover image, Nicki donned a cream-hued satin dress with a ruched accent on one hip. Her husband Kenneth Petty knew her before she was famous. The couple married in 2019 but he was previously a high school flame of hers, and grew up blocks from her in Queens, New York City. She told the magazine there is an ‘ease’ with her husband, since she has known him for so long. Kenneth and Nicki lost touch for years and reconnected in 2018. They first met at LaGuardia High School and they dated briefly as teenagers. Kenneth is a registered sex offender; he was convicted of first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995, for which he was sentenced to four years in prison. He is considered a level-two offender in the state of New York, which equates to him being considered a ‘moderate risk of repeat offense.’ Nicki’s upcoming album – Pink Friday 2 – is set to be released on December 8.
