AceShowbiz - Last week, rumors were running rampage saying Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty have ended their marriage less than a year after tying the knot. However, a source close to the hip-hop star has now denied the rumors and stressed that their relationship is going on just fine despite the rumors.

"Nicki Minaj is still with her man," so the insider claimed to Page Six, before explaining the reason why Nicki changed her social media name. According to the source, her social media move has nothing to do with her marriage. Instead, it's all because she is about to release new music soon. "It's just business as usual for her highness as she prepares to release new music," so the insider claimed.

Rumors of Nicki and Kenneth splitting started circulating online last weekend when a Twitter user claimed a friend of Kenneth on Instagram said that the couple had decided to end their marriage. Further making a lot of people convinced, she changed her Twitter name from Mrs. Petty to Yikes, which is the title of her latest single.

Nicki and Kenneth got married in October 2019 after obtaining a marriage license for the second time. At the time, the two didn't hold a reception to celebrate their milestone, though the "Bang Bang" hitmaker has previously said in an interview that they're planning to hold a second and bigger ceremony where they invite friends and family to celebrate with them.

Saying that she had already hired "dope designer" for her gown, the "Anaconda" hitmaker noted, "It's so strange cause I didn't expect myself to be one of those people who didn't care about the hoopla, but I really don't. ...I just kind of feel like it doesn't mean as much as it used to mean because the other part, the real part, I have it now and I'm happy."
