Coming off the heels of her first GRAMMY nomination, Chika has announced that she is stepping away from the music industry due to the “mental toll” it has taken on her.
Her words below…
Taking to Twitter, she announced the news:
“Today, i shared that I was thinking of retiring because the mental toll being in the industry has taken on me is not something you bounce back from easily. I’ve told my team, i’ve told my therapist, i’ve told friends and acquaintances. today i told twitter. what followed was a hoard of psychotic fans rejoicing in the decline of my mental health, harassing me as if I spoke to them first.”

The ‘Cinderella, Pt. 2‘ rapper first announced her retirement on April 10.

She then took to Instagram Live to clap back at people for the harsh reaction to her announcement.

However, this is not the first time that an artist had to step away from the music industry. Summer Walker previously expressed how she “hates this job” because of the lack of privacy.
She loves eating cochìe
🤣🤣
With added c****** gravy & bisquits
First she said she was retiring, then she said she was “thinking” of retiring. Why even put that out there. And she did it with NO context and only expounded after she got negative feedback. Instead of communicating her thought effectively from the beginning. This is 2021 you should know better than to let the internet finish your sentences for you. I think this Is a ploy for attention. Kinda like those people who will fish for compliments by talking bad about themselves. Like, “ugh I’m so ugly” and they secretly want you to disagree and gas them up. But some people aren’t gonna do that and they’re gonna say, “yeah you are ugly”. And you can’t get mad at them, you played your own self. I think some of these “celebrities” are announcing fake retirements just so people will beg them not to. They’re using their careers like it’s a bargaining chip for attention and people see right through it.
I am disappointed in Chika, but I will stay tuned…
