Petty was sentenced for violating the terms of his probation by posting videos that appeared to threaten Cardi B’s husband, Offset, on social media.

In a court order filed in the Central District of California, Petty was ordered to undertake home monitoring after he was recorded making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.

Recall that Petty was convicted of first degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995, and spent four years in prison in New York.

In July 2022, he was also sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California in 2020.
