Nicki Minaj's new boyfriend is her old boyfriend. 

Nicki Minaj first dated Kenny Petty when she was a teenager in Queens, and has now rekindled the flame with her old flame. 

Petty's had some issues in the in-between: He served time for the attempted rape of a 16-year-old and for killing a dude.

Nicki's going to be more sensitive to the rape charge since her brother is locked up for child rape and her new bestie Tekashi 6ix9ine is a convicted molester. So Nicki addressed Petty's sex offender status in an Instagram comment:

“he was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship,” she typed, “But go awf, internet, y’all can’t run my life. y’all can’t even run y’all own life.”

According to The Blast's reporting, a knife or sharp object was involved in the attempted rape. Nicki's camp claims the victim's mother filed the charges against Petty because she didn't approve of him. 

Nicki also taunted the haters with more photos of her and Petty.

Oh they wanna talk? Let’s give’m smthn to talk about. 😜👅 *Shania voice*," Nicki captioned.

For the record, "Something To Talk About" is a Bonnie Raitt song, not a Shania Twain one.
