The 'abrupt' retirement announcement

On Thursday, twitter was brimming with the shock responses of fans as Nicki Minaj announced her retirement in a tweet. The 36-year-old rapper, who has also appeared in Hollywood movies and runs her own Radio show suddenly tweeted about her retirement. The tweet read,

“I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me,  in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me.  Love you for LIFE"

Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, 41 are speculated to have secretly married. However, Minaj says that she is planning to get married and wedding bells would be ringing soon. Expressing her happiness with marriage, Minaj said on Queens Radio, “We did get our marriage license. 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.”

The retirement announcement that followed these changes in her personal life was not hard to believe. She has always wanted to have a family. Besides, she wanted to open the doors for other female rappers to take the centre stage, and accordingly, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have become popular female rappers. Last month, Minaj appeared in Stallion’s song “Hot Girl Summer”.
