“Minaj”According to the Trinidad and Tobago-born rap star, she is retiring from music to start a family.

“I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now,” Minaj wrote last month on the social media platform Twitter.

“To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me.”

To her fanbase, known as Barbz, the 36-year-old Minaj added: “Love you for LIFE.”

‘MRS. PETTY’

She also appears to be in love with “Kenneth “Zoo” Petty, who she began dating in 2018 and who became her fiancé in December. Minaj has changed her name on Twitter to “Mrs. Petty”.

In June, Minaj said on her Queen Radio show that the couple had acquired a marriage license. They said the wedding would take place in “about 80 days,” although Minaj said she is working on a new album.

“I have to work on my album and I have a lot to focus on that I don’t want to do the big wedding now. We’ll do the big wedding later,” she explained in August on her show.

 Minaj fans expressed shock at the rapper’s retirement announcement.
