Is Nicki Minaj quitting music? Here's what to know
After being off the internet for over a week, Nicki Minaj returned earlier this week and has once again started a social media rampage against the usual suspects: Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and Cardi B (though this time more subliminally). It all culminated in a post that she uploaded to X earlier today, in which she bid farewell to her fans, stating that she no longer plans to release music, accompanied by an AI-generated photo. (@) This comes not too soon after she and Cardi B traded lethal shots online, bringing each other's kids into the drama and serious allegations. One of the accusations Cardi made was regarding Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty. Earlier this month, the Bronx rapper alleged that Petty would use Minaj's credit card while she was "sedated," writing in a post on X, "Quiet as kept the truth is you BEEN diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar for almost 9 years and you also on heavy drugs COCAINE.. PERCS.. AND XANAX!!!" She continued, "You don't listen to nobody around you.. the only person that have the power is Kenneth Petty... but you know what happens wit that Amex when you sedated. (@) In a separate post, Cardi wrote, "You need to go to therapy NOW... ima let you know this today.. your husband is not stoppin you from your actions because he lets you do drugs all day to numb you so he can max out your credit card."Social media users quickly referred to Cardi's comments when Minaj uploaded a message to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, writing, "3 different people in a span of 2 months charging my Amex w/o permission, before adding, "Theyre all going to jail." Minaj then went on X to say, "Having your husband > having tea," seemingly a diss towards Cardi. (@) Minaj reiterated her point in a separate post where she said, "Let this be a gem you cherish forever satisfying your husband >>>>> stalking someone elses marriage," then added, "3.27.26 - the new album." For the rest of the day, she uploaded a dozen or so tweets about Jay-Z and Roc Nation, but then she landed on a lawsuit brought against her and her husband, where a judge ordered that the couple would have to pay $500,000 after a security guard claimed Petty punched and broke his jaw. She quote-tweeted a Barbz (a term referring to Minaj's fanbase) recounting of the court case and claimed that the lawsuit was brought up to a business manager that never told her and that there was evidence to prove it. (@) Minaj went on to show love to her fans who offered unwavering support in the face of all of what the rapper is going through. "Shoutout to the Barbz on the frontlines for Nicki, what were fighting for is bigger than any of us can see. Keep exposing the industry giants, keep researching, keep your faith strong, and dont let the bots break you. Every post, every share, every bit of research matters," one fan account wrote. Minaj then quote tweeted it and wrote, "God save the BARBZ" and shared the album release date once again.In the early morning hours, the rapper then went on to say that she has the support of her fans if she decides not to release an album. "They came BEGGING the QUEEN for a tour & album & I said NOPE!!!!! LMFAO. Wanted to patch it up. They needed help from the QUEEN & the BARBZ," she wrote in a post on X. "I called the Barbz on the secret BARB phone & it was a resounding NOOOOOOOO. just like the casinooooooooooooooooooo." (@) It's unclear if she is serious about not releasing music, or if she'll change her mind in a few hours, but as of right now the last thing she posted was that she will be stepping away from music for now.
