After 15 years working in music, Nicki Minaj has announced her retirement to focus on her family.
Minaj tweeted this afternoon, “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 me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”
