In a shocking tweet, Nicki Minaj announced a major career decision, claiming she would not release her next album. The message spread fast, throwing her March 2027 release plan into doubt. In the viral tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Minaj wrote, “Ok I’m not going to put out the album anymore. No more music. Hope you’re happy now.” She tagged Jay-Z, concluding with “Bye, Barbz. Love you for life.”
Nicki Minaj says ‘no more music’ in tweet that has now gone viral
Nicki Minaj’s viral tweet about the career move, in which she claims to cancel her next album, has landed at the peak of a week of tense posts. Moreover, tagging Jay-Z pointed to the latest tension in her long dispute with his Roc Nation. According to Rolling Stone India, Minaj has accused executives there, including CEO Desiree Perez, of trying to mute her career and of withholding money tied to her TIDAL stake.
The timing stunned fans. Minaj had teased the album for more than a year and locked in the March 2026 date a few weeks ago, while her album teaser remains pinned to the top of her X profile. It also revived memories of 2019, when she said she was retiring to focus on family, then returned with new music.
Fans on X pleaded and joked in equal measure, with one writing, “ok Nicki it’s been 20 minutes. how long are you gonna keep us sweating?” Another user wrote, “There will never be another Nicki Minaj.” A third fan joked, “Every few years, Nicki threatens retirement like Marvel threatens ‘no more sequels.’ Both always come back louder.” Another urged, “Nicki, take a break from social media and heal… Sometimes silence says more than tweets ever will.”
For now, Republic Records has not confirmed any change in plans, and there has been no official follow‑up from Minaj’s team. Nicki Minaj’s cryptic tweet stands, with both the industry and the Barbz waiting to see if this is a final exit from her career or another dramatic pause before the next album.
