Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend go way back. Although they only began dating last year, Kenny Petty and the Queen have known each other since they were children. They grew up in the same neighborhood and developed a bond from there. Since debuting in the public eye, though, their relationship has been picked apart by so many sources, with many going after Petty for his criminal history. Minaj couldn’t care any less as she always shares the most beautiful moments with her man on social media. Over the weekend, she decided to remind everyone of just how far back she and Kenny go, posting a photo of themselves as kids and noting that they’ve crushed on each other for a minute.
