Nicki Minaj made headlines last night after declaring that she was retiring to start a family with boo Kenneth Petty.
And while fans were taken by surprise, the tea is that her team were too!
Details below…
According to TMZ, few were more shocked by Onika’s announcement than those in her inner circle.
See, sources say she’d been in the studio hard at work on new music and had even lined up a number of collaborations with artists.
What’s more, she still has studio sessions booked (and seemingly going ahead) in the coming weeks.
So the internal feeling (or, at least, the hope) amongst her team is that the “retirement” is more a break than anything else.
As for the possible motivations for the sudden decision to bow out from the spotlight, the report claims it may be linked to the online trolls supposedly fuelling the “Nicki Hate Train” with fallacies about her writing, popularity, and controversial relationship with Petty.
Whatever the case, we’re struggling to believe it’s the last the masses have heard from Ms. Minaj. If anything, it’s a wise play to regroup and re-build the anticipation for her product.
She’s not retiring u all are so stupid she tweets crazy s*** every day why is this the one thing ppl run with
So you’re saying she’s a 40 year old attention w****? Gotcha.
Yeahh thats what she’s
A old grand ma attention ******
Wait she will be pregnant before end of year to keep her relevant
I agree. Same how u say the same thing I said on the last Onika post with no backlash from trolls.
Lol some of them.will be out of a job if she really quits music so of course they are shooked? ah the plot thickens
So she doing a Tamar and Katy Perry now? When will these artists realise every time they cry wolf they lose even more artistic integrity?? If you’re going – get gone and get the help you need to heal yourself. Nobody is here for these yo yo mood swings in an out the spotlight ?
she’s trolling she needs to hear how much she’s loved and how she’s the best to fuel that ego.
There wouldn’t be a need to state such as ohh I’m retiring. She should just vanish for a bit and let people actually miss her over time to put something out but importantly QUALITY over Quantity. There is no problem with taking your time on creating meaningful timeless music but today’s artists are more concern bout hits or the charts they catalogs are subpar. Say what you will about R Kelly but Chris, Trey, or hell even that Jacques dude will never have bodies of art like Kellys catalog to his name.
Ugh. Stop giving this angry bird the attention she’s craving. Let her career die in peace. Thank you for your services, Nicki. You had a good run.
How ironic, you sure are giving her attention.
Nikki a lot of them b****** couldn’t even afford to ride the hate train for real for real.
Hunny we’re going to be hearing from her for about 10 to 15 more years
By the way, I love that she has entitled the GP losing interest in her as the “Nicki Hate Train”…didn’t Ms. Minaj spearhead a “Lil Kim Hate Train” 10 years ago with several tracks aimed at her? Didn’t you go on your flop Q**** Radio to attempt to turn the GP against Cardi last year after the fashion week scuffle? B***h, it’s called KARMA. Just figure out which season of Dancing With The Stars you want to be on, h*e.
Looky looky, wasn’t you the b**** telling me to calm down yesterday. You posted 3 comments already pretty much reiterated what you already said yesterday. Then trying to be a comedian with the dancing with the stars crap that you got from somebody else comment. If you’re done with her be done. Isn’t it an article about Cardi somewhere that you can comment on. Nicki is not changing for y’all head. That Lil Kim s*** is dead, she’s not apologizing to Kim so move on.
Like did she really think the GP was going to be here for her being 40 years old talking about “all these chickens is my sons” and “my p***y so fat, Mufasa” and “lick lick this cl*t cl*t”. Girl, you never grew musically in the ten years you were rapping. THAT is why the general public is OVER you! Acting like everyone is against you…maybe you need to take some time off and DEVELOP a NEW SOUND/FLOW. Chris Brown’s a** needs to take some damn time off too and develop a new sound. Repetitive s**t doesn’t work 10 years later. You see how Trey Songz is doing these days…
She’ll be back with an album release date… Nicki needed the love, admiration, and “Please don’t go Queen” to fuel her ego. The sad thing is the Barbz will do all this and still won’t support or her music or tour… Smh
P.s. She looks amazing in the Fendi spread…
I’ll slap all you heauxs. Lmaooooo!
My goodness, if nicki comes out to say she was only joking, this will ruin her career and reputation even more. She better keep her word.
I understand why she’s taking a break from music and focus on her personal life…
It’s not a crime….
I wish her nothing but the best of luck…
Cardi is to busy chasing her community dack of her husband…her grammy and number 1s dont mean ish…
since she had to cancel alot of money making projects…just so she can keep an eye on her loser husband
Drugs are terrible
I totally forgot she said that she was gonna start tweeting rumors to show people how easy it is to believe them.
I forgot about Good form that was actually a good song, wonder why it didn’t do well
Darling, who is she?
I don’t know her
S T U N T S. ?
