Nicki Minaj Says Sorry For 'Abrupt' Retirement Announcement

Nicki Minaj has apologized to her fans after "abruptly" announcing her retirement from the rap game via Twitter.

"I’m still right here. Still madly in love with you guys & you know that. In hindsight, this should’ve been a Queen Radio discussion & it will be. I promise u guys will be happy. No guests, just us talking about everything. The tweet was abrupt & insensitive, I apologize babe ♥️🙏 "

Her response was to a fan who asked for an explanation about the rap star's decision.

On Thursday, Nicki announced that she is retiring from music so that she can start a family with her fiance, Kenneth "Zoo" Petty. Nicki told fans last month that she and Zoo would be tying the knot within 90 days and that she is ready to have children

Nicki has been battling her haters and critics for years, but her catalog is solid and despite the sad news - she has forever left her mark on hip hop and the world.

We think she'll come out of retirement soon after starting her family.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, September 5, Nicki Minaj shocked the music industry when she announced via her Twitter page that she would be retiring from music to start a family.

"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, :x: in the box- cuz ain't nobody checkin me," she tweeted.

Fans already knew that she and her fiance Kenneth "Zoo" Petty were preparing to walk down the aisle, as the couple have already obtained their marriage license. Nicki also revealed previously that she wanted to have a child with Kenny.

According to TMZ though, Nicki has been recording a lot of music and has studio time booked in for the rest of the month - so will Nicki be dropping an album before she makes her exit?

Either way - the Barbz are sad to see their fearless leader leave the game. Here are a few reactions from Twitter
