Last year, Minaj made headlines when she declared on Twitter that she was going to “retire and have my family”. After her fans responded with shock and sadness, the rapper apologised for alarming her fans: “The tweet was abrupt & insensitive, I apologize babe.”

Before the shock announcement, Minaj had been working on a new album, which she described in an interview as “fierce, fun and unapologetic”.

Minaj later clarified her announcement, saying talk of “retirement” referred to the question of whether she would release her fifth album, as XXL Magazine reported.

“When I posted that retirement tweet, I knew that I had music that was already recorded that was still going to come out,” Minaj said.

“So, the retirement was kind of talking about my album like meaning like, do I want to go back and record my fifth album? That’s what I was talking about, but I knew that of course features—I always get asked to do features and I like features. So it was really about my fifth album.”
