By Music News Jun 11, 2023 | 7:00 PM

Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty was reportedly “swatted” last week when someone called the police, falsely claiming someone was abusing a child. According to TMZ, an anonymous called notified child services claiming that Minaj's two-year-old son was being abuse, which led to sheriff’s deputies showing up at the rapper’s Los Angeles home.

Law enforcement officials spoke with Minaj and Petty at the scene, and after examining the child, who showed no signs of abuse, determined it was just a “swatting” prank.

Hours later, another caller dialed 911 and alerted that Minaj’s house was on fire — that was later revealed as another swatting prank. Minaj has reportedly hired a lawyer to find out the people behind the pranks.
