Nicki's new surname first appeared on her Twitter page just days after she revealed more details about her upcoming wedding.

The Super Bass rapper divulged on her Queen Radio show on Monday that she and Petty are set to be wed in 'about 80 days.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Nicki Minaj for comment.

Nicki explained that she and Petty 'filed for the marriage license and we still had to pick it up and I was travelling, by the time I came back, we had to renew it again.'

'From that time, you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days.'

Since the rapper is busy with her album, she's pushing 'the big wedding' until 'later' in favor of a smaller ceremony.

'I’ll be married before my album comes out, but will have my wedding after the album comes out. Before the 90 days is over, yes, I will be married.'

The voluptuous lyricist continued: 'I’m very happy about that because my baby makes me so happy.'

It comes after Nicki and Kenneth reportedly obtained their marriage licence on 30th July, according to TMZ.

The couple reportedly tried to keep a low profile as they waited at the marriage license bureau's window in Beverly Hills courthouse to get their paperwork.

Nicki has faced public criticism for her romance with Kenneth, a manslaughter convict and registered sex offender who apparently goes by the nickname 'Zoo.'

But the star recently defended her criminal beau, writing on Instagram: 'He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship. But go awf Internet. Y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.'

Kenneth spent seven years behind bars for first degree manslaughter, which he pleaded guilty to after being charged with second degree murder, TMZ reported.

Citing insiders in law enforcement, the website claimed that Kenneth shot one Lamont Robinson three times on a street corner in Queens in April 2002.

Kenneth and some associates allegedly drove to a point across the street from Lamont, whereupon Kenneth emerged from the vehicle and walked over to his victim before firing into his stomach.

Lamont identified a photograph of his killer to police before dying in the hospital shortly after being shot, per court documents.

An investigator dismissed the reason for the shooting as 'b******t' to TMZ, whose sources theorised that the violence was gang-related.

Kenneth, 41, earned his sex offender status after being convicted in 1995 of the first degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl.

He made use of a 'knife/cutting instrument' during the crime, according to public records from the New York Division Of Criminal Justice Services.
