Nicki Minaj surprised many when she announced plans to retire from music to build a life and family away from the entertainment industry.
Today, those who hoped the news would kill interest in her music have learned that it has inspired the opposite effect.
Full story below…
The rapper’s last album ‘Queen‘ delivered the single ‘Chun Li’ which was released on April 12th 2018 and moved over 2 million units worldwide despite peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Now it stands as one of the many songs her fans and critics were driven to listen to after learning of her plans to pull the plug on her illustrious career.
On September 5th, ‘Chun’ stood around the 167 million streams spun point on Spotify.
Today, on September 27th, it stands at the 177 million mark.
Ten million streams in 22 days.

Also on the rise?
‘Va Va Voom’ (71 million), ‘Super Bass’ (255 million) and ‘Feeling Myself‘ (211 million).
Don’t you ever doubt yourself. If anyone would’ve told me as a lil girl from Trinidad that grew up poor that one day my face would be on a piece of @Fendi clothing, I would’ve laughed. Your support for #ChunLi led to this. A song I made up off the top of my head as a joke. ILoveU https://t.co/p4xUx1Lb68

People paid more attention to her fake retirement announcement than MegaFLOP and the new album she promised on Fallon.
Duhhhh that was her whole purpose
A rich Queen maker your coins and let your haters STAY MAD ? lol ? Yesssss Ma’am a rich Queen
Meanwhile normani is slaying nicki in the charts
Am a Nigerian base in Germany, just play your last album queen
TGJ does the Reba McENTIRE most and Nicki STILL hasn’t given y’all an interview. Just give it up, David. It’s pathetic at this point.
She’s really pressed sad individual smh
I knew this was just a stunt to get peoples attention. Don’t worry in a couple weeks her music will be forgotten all about again. Nice try with weak ass features she put out recently but they ain’t it. If she wants to really succeed again she needs to reinvent herself. No more Barbie/baby talk raps it’s childish and annoying.
Make them $$$?
Y’all tried it with this bs
Nice to hear that and big thanks to you and your family
No nooooooooo nooo9oo Nicki. Nooooooooooooo.
The retirement plan announcement was a tool for traction and attention. It was never really gonna happen.
CUPCAKKE retired too and No one gives a f-u-C~K. “Deep-throat” is still my jam baby
You can’t even compare CUPCAKKE to Nicki Minaj…
