Nicki Minaj Announces Retirement

Popstar Nicki Minaj has announced her retirement from the music industry to have a family. In a tweet, she wrote: “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now.

She added a note to her followers, asking them to “keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, [x] in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me” — a reference to her collaboration with Alicia Keys on a remix of the singer’s hit “Girl on Fire.”

The message has been retweeted tens of thousands of times and liked hundreds of thousands of times.
