Rapper Nicki Minaj Announces Retirement From Music To Have Her Family

Without any warning, rapper-singer Nicki Minaj has recently posted on her personal Twitter account and officially announced her retirement in the utter confusion and shock of fans.

In addition, Nicki Minaj also changed the name of her Twitter account from her old stage name to "Mrs. Petty", referring to a married woman and specifically, Kenneth Petty’s wife.

The incident is still shocking news to fans, but a few are optimistic that this is a new "trick" of Nicki Minaj to make way for her upcoming comeback. However, the majority are still deeply worried and saddened by this sudden decision.

Nicki Minaj was born in 1982. Her real name is Onika Tanya Maraj. She achieved success quite late after experiencing many ups and downs in life. In 2008, she was selected as Female Artist of the Year at the Underground Music Awards and began to receive public attention.

The female rapper is said to have her own rap style and special intonation. She was named by a New York Times editor as the most influential female rapper of all time.

If she really decides to leave the rap game behind, she will surely drop off a notable legacy. Over 10 years of her career, Nicki Minaj was titled the "Queen of Rap" of this generation with a series of storming hits worldwide.

Up until now, the Anaconda rapper has received 10 Grammy nominations, won 6 American Music Awards, 7 BET Awards, 3 MTV Video Music Awards and 4 Billboard Music Awards.

Besides, she has become the first-ever female rapper to have sold 100 million units including her singles, albums as well as features. This is certified by RIAA (the Recording Industry Association of America).

For the unversed, Nicki and Kenneth Petty, her boyfriend, have lately acquired a marriage license. Although since then, the rapper has been calling her partner husband, it is still in the mist to confirm if the two have actually got hitched.

Nevertheless, there is one thing that is open and shut. They will go top speed and full swing with building their own family in the offing.
