But, the object didn’t hit him he claims that Petty did.

This angered Minaj and she, as well as her husband, confronted security about the incident after the show had ended.Minaj allegedly called a female security guard a “f*****g b***h” and Weidenmuller claimed that he had stepped in, removed the security guard, and then went to Minaj’s dressing room to try to resolve the issue. He then claimed that’s when Petty attacked him, also accusing Minaj of ordering her husband to attack him.
