Petty is now allowed to accompany Nicki for “various purposes, including childcare.”

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Nicki Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty asked a judge for permission to travel with her on her Pink Friday 2 world tour. Petty, who is a convicted sex offender, previously failed to register in Los Angeles after relocating to be near Nicki. As a result, he's on probation, meaning that he can't travel outside of the U.S. freely.

In his request, Petty claimed that he'd be accompanying Nicki on tour for “various purposes, including childcare." Luckily for him, and he and Nicki's son Papa Bear, it looks like things are looking up. Today, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald approved his request, meaning that he'll be able to take part in all of the Pink Friday 2 fun with the rest of his family.

In his filing, Petty claimed that his probation officer “does not oppose” the Queens native traveling with Nicki. He previously asked that the filing be kept secret, but that request was rejected. Currently, Nicki is scheduled to perform in various cities across the U.S. and Canada before heading to Europe in May.

While Petty's travel request is no longer an issue for the high-profile pair, it's not the only obstacle they're facing. Last month, it was reported that a judge had granted their alleged assault victim a default judgment, meaning that they owe the security guard roughly $500K.
