Nicki Minaj has stated she’s retiring from music altogether to have a family.
The 36-year-old rapper, known for hits like Anaconda, Starships and Super Bass, made the surprise announcement on Twitter – with little indication to whether she means it.
Posting on Twitter, Nicki wrote: ‘I’ve decided to retire & have a family. I know you guys are happy now.
‘To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, X in the box – cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.’
If true, it’s especially surprising considering she previously teased a fifth album on her Beats 1 show Queen Radio, stating a ‘dope’ executive producer was attached to it.
She also released new single MEGATRON earlier this year, which was believed to be an indicator a new album was on the way.
Nicki’s last studio album was Queen released in 2018, which spawned singles Chun-Li and Bed featuring Ariana Grande.
Outside her own studio albums, Nicki is known for her incredible guest turns on a number of massive songs, include Jessie J’s Bang Bang and Kanye West’s Monster.
