Nicki Minaj Clarifies Her Retirement Tweet

Nicki Minaj sent her fans into a frenzy with a September tweet announcing her retirement from music. But thanks to a new interview with The Shade Room posted to Instagram on Sunday (Oct. 20), Barbies can rest assured knowing Minaj isn't done quite yet.

"When I posted that retirement tweet, I knew that I still had music that I already had recorded that was still going to come out," she said. So the retirement was kind of talking about my album, meaning like, 'Do I want to go back and record my fifth album?'"

After hinting that she may also have some features in the pipeline, Minaj continued explaining her shocking retirement tweet. "It was really about the fifth album," Nicki said. "Where do I stand with it now? I didn't know my fans would act like that with the tweet. It hurt my feelings because I feel like the way I did it was maybe insensitive to my fans. But I didn't think people were going to take it -- I didn't know it was going to be that big of a deal, so that's why I deleted it."

When it comes to marrying her man Kenneth "Zoo" Petty, Minaj expects to file the paperwork neccessary to get married, but she's unsure if she still wants to have a grand wedding to celebrate. "We'll definitely do the paperwork portion of the marriage, but the actual wedding, I don't know," she stated. "You know when you’re a little girl and you want this big beautiful wedding, and I used to think I was one of those girls, I always wanted the fairytale. But then the things that used to matter to you don’t matter as much."

Nicki also touched on a recent Kanye West collaboration -- seemingly the rumored "New Body" -- but she doesn't know if it will remain on Ye's Jesus Is King album as he attempts to make the track more gospel-friendly. However, two artists she did highlight with hopes to work with if she does in fact release a fifth album would be DaBaby and Gunna.

They all say that .....
