In June 2019, Minaj made it clear that her marriage to Petty was imminent. She revealed she and Petty got their marriage license then during an episode of Queen Radio. "We did get our marriage license," she said (opens in new tab). "I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything."
