Rap queen Nicki Minaj has seemingly abdicated her throne, announcing in a tweet that she plans to retire from music.
Ive decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now, she wrote on Thursday. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz aint nobody checkin me.
She ended the message with a shoutout to her famously loyal fanbase called the Barbz, adding, Love you for LIFE.

Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) September 5, 2019
Representatives for the rapper did not immediately respond to HuffPosts request for comment.
The Megatron rapper, 36, has long been open about her desire to start a family, especially since making things official with fianc Kenneth Zoo Petty in December.
The two have been dating since 2018, and Petty has made frequent appearances on her social media accounts. The rapper even changed her name on Twitter to Mrs. Petty earlier this month.
