Nicki Minaj sparked intense speculation about her marriage status on Monday with a cryptic tweet on X (formerly Twitter), where she stated “yes single.” The 41-year-old singer, known for hits like “Super Bass,” married her high school sweetheart Kenneth Petty in 2019, prompting fans to wonder whether her tweet signaled a change in her relationship status or a tease for new music.

Fans responded with curiosity, with one asking if the tweet hinted at a new single release, while another expressed unwavering support regardless of her relationship status.

The tweet follows recent developments in Petty’s legal situation, as he sought court permission in April to travel outside the U.S. while on probation following a 2021 conviction for failing to register as a sex offender.

In a December 2023 Vogue profile, Minaj discussed her relationship with Petty, emphasizing their long-standing connection from high school. She reflected on the ease and comfort they share, contrasting it with potential complications of dating someone who knows her as Nicki Minaj, particularly during pregnancy.

Minaj’s tweet has left fans and media speculating about the true meaning behind her statement, eagerly awaiting further clarification from the artist herself.
