Nicki Minaj shocks fans with ‘no more music’ tweet, tagging Jay-Z in furious rant

Nicki Minaj has stunned fans once again, announcing that she will no longer release her upcoming album or make any new music. The rapper made the explosive statement on X, writing “Ok I’m not going to put out the album anymore. No more music,” before tagging Jay-Z and adding, “Hope you’re happy now.”

The post comes just weeks after Minaj had confirmed the release date for her highly anticipated sixth studio album, the follow-up to Pink Friday 2, which was set for 27 March 2026. Her sudden change of plans sent social media into chaos, with fans flooding her replies in disbelief. Despite the farewell message, “Bye, Barbz. Love you for life,” many of her followers are convinced she’s bluffing.

The controversy deepened when Minaj accused unnamed figures of trying to sabotage her success. “Me winning makes them feel like they lost,” she wrote in a separate post. “They know how successful my next album is going to be.” Without naming anyone directly, Minaj later appeared to call out Roc Nation and its CEO Desiree Perez, referencing her ongoing frustration with the company.

Her posts also made reference to a 2024 legal case in which she and her husband, Kenneth Petty, were ordered to pay $500,000 to a security guard following an alleged backstage altercation. Responding to rumours that she had refused to pay the fine, Minaj commented on a TikTok post with a furious response, calling it a “conspiracy” and accusing Roc Nation of “civil rights violations”.

She went on to allege that industry figures had repeatedly tried to exploit her success, writing, “Tried to sign Wayne, Drake, me. So they keep wanting to take or stop my money simply b/c narcissists believe what you work hard for belongs to them.”

The shocking declaration follows a recent wave of online tension involving political references to Kamala Harris, adding to speculation about Minaj’s growing disillusionment with both the music industry and establishment figures.

While representatives for the rapper have not issued a statement, fans have taken to X to debate whether this marks the end of Minaj’s career or yet another dramatic chapter in her ongoing standoff with industry power players. Many insist she will still release the album next year, pointing to her history of making bold declarations before major rollouts.

For now, Minaj’s posts have reignited conversations about industry control, artist freedom and the blurred line between performance and protest.
