Nicki Minaj Says Her Retirement Announcement Was “Abrupt & Insensitive”

    Nicki Minaj shocked her loyal legion of fans on Thursday (September 5) when she announced she’s retiring from music to start her family.

    After the Barbz lit up her mentions trying to understand how their Queen could make such a hasty exit, Black Barbie admitted it may have been a bit too sudden. She also promised she would break it all down in a future episode of Queen Radio. 

    “I’m still right here,” she tweeted on Thursday night. “Still madly in love with you guys & you know that. In hindsight, this should’ve been a Queen Radio discussion & it will be. I promise u guys will be happy. No guests, just us talking about everything. The tweet was abrupt & insensitive, I apologize babe.”

    According to TMZ, the future Mrs. Petty is nowhere near ready to retire. Sources close to Nicki reportedly said the platinum-selling artist has been hard at work in the studio recently and has made plans to record with several artists just this week.

    The source adds Nicki still has studio time booked.

    So why the retirement announcement? Nicki is allegedly tired of internet trolls who accuse her of not writing her own songs, question about her Hip Hop legacy and her relationship with fiancé Kenneth Petty.

    Nicki Minaj has announced she’s retiring from rap to start a family with her fiancé (husband?) Kenneth Petty. 

    “I’ve decided to retire & have my family,” she tweeted. “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.”

    Naturally, Nicki’s fans are losing their collective minds with one tweeting, “I’m going to go cry now. We love you, Onika. Thank you… for everything.”

    During an episode of Queen Radio, Nicki — who’s been working on her next album — confirmed they’ve obtained a marriage license.

    “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. I’m very happy about that because my baby makes me so happy.”

    1. Yeah right. Retire for 9 months and then realize ya spending habits don’t let you retire. I highly doubt she’s that good with money!

    2. Lol shes quitting because her career quit on her months ago. As far as starting a family, that’s dangerous considering shes marrying a pedophile. If shes not careful her child will soon become a competitor.

    3. I already feel sorry for their child to be born since he/she would be a retarded and a piece of trash concentrated in the same body. Nothin good can come out of the union of a rapist and a ratchet.

    4. More like ain’t no body checking for you. Too bad you are under contract and have albums left so stop playing games

      1. her voice and accents are annoying as fuck. i really liked the drank song “make me proud” until her part fucking it up

    5. The usual misplaced hate and anger in the comments section. Like shit was handed to Nicki. I hope all of you work harder than her but really, who are we kidding

      1. Yeah. People write her rhymes and made her beats. Like everyone on cash money. LITERALLY handed to her. All she had to do is suck dick and smile. I’m sure she had to eat some old rancid white coochie on her struggle to the top, as well.

    6. Nicki was a cold piece when she was on top!! Runnin her mouth, going off on people at award shows!! KARMA! And I can’t support a rapper that support a rapist or a child rapist!! I can’t do it!! Good Luck and I hope she makes sure her future husband don’t disregard the 4-5 kids he already have!

      1. I totally agree on the thing about the child rapist thing, and she was running her mouth, but I don’t think its Karma because, she chose to retire, I don’t know if you understand what I’m trying to say but.

    7. A lot of haters in here. I’m no Nicki fan, but damn y’all going at her like she done something to you. Find some joy in your life’s trolls. Just saying.

    8. NAH NICKI DONT GO!!! You are the queen and the queen rules her Kingdom until she dies… So You can’t..(… Huh? What?….. You say Cardi killed her? Oh damn) MY BAD. I digress, carry on.

    9. Y’all some fucking haters bro? Nicki is amazing and cardi is okay as well, as for Meagan she’s okay but in my opinion she needs a little more work especially with some of those collabs she’s doing some people she just don’t sound good with. If Nicki wants to retire and start a family then she can. Y’all mad because you can’t afford to retire tuh?

    10. Who announces shit like this except this clout chasing doll, did bey and Jay ever say some shit like this. This chick keep proving how lame she is lol

      1. Um jay announced his retirement and never did …. but you are probably 10 and only use the internet for social media … because researching facts is a lot harder than having an ignorant opinion and typing some letters on your phone

      2. You kinda right tho….Jay did Retire and came back CAUSE the game still needed him…..Nicki is WACK and had young girls growing up on some HO $hit. Glad she’s getting out the game…Beat it !!

    11. Nobody checkin her? Lmao anyone who can suck a good dick and hire a writer can check your thot ass anyday and raise a family? Your like 40 leaving hickies on your man like a 13 year old if you raise kids there gonna be 1000000X dumber than any kardashian/jenner ever was

    12. This chick is a horrible look for our younger generation and the young kids out there. Jay & bey would have never done this. # clout chase

      1. Again Jay announced his retirement and never retired … so get off another man’s dick …. and there is not one female celebrity that young ladies should look up to … females everywhere need a new look

    13. Wait till that Birdman royalty tax kicks in after a couple years.. then she’ll be saying I’m coming back out of retirement

    14. Jeez even rappers who pretend to be the toughest people on the planet have to placate to the liberals

    15. Quit hating at least she is letting us know she is retiring an puting her family first that’s what’s up do the damn thing Nicki I like you forget these haters

      1. You idiots will believe anything. You saw her last album struggling, you saw how bitter she was. Also, if she were really that concerned about family, would she really be marrying a pedo.

    16. Quit hating people let her do the damn thing start your family you go girl I like you an respect you I think you are better than Cardi I think you you are the shit let be an respect

    17.
