Kanye West, one of the most popular singers in the world, suddenly announced his retirement from the music industry.
On Tuesday (local time), rapper rich the kid shared a screenshot of a chat with Kanye on social platforms, revealing that Kanye wanted to give up his music career.
Kanye wrote in the message: "I am retiring from the professional music industry. I don't know what else I can do." Rich the Kid tried to persuade Kanye not to give up. He replied: "Retire? Why? How to retire? "People need you and your music, you and Ty and we will create the biggest milestone in the cultural field so far in 2024." Finally, he advised: "You give yourself some time to relax, but retirement is not the only option." .”
Despite a series of controversies, Kanye’s new album “Vultures” released this year still ranks high on the charts. The album topped the Billboard 200 in February, making it his 11th album to top the chart. Recently, Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign also announced that they will hold a listening session for "Vultures 2" in South Korea. So it was a surprise to everyone that Kanye said he was quitting.
However, rich the kid deleted this post shortly after it was posted, and announced that his album "life's a gamble" will be released next Friday (July 19), and Kanye will participate in singing "gimme a second 2" and "Plain Jane" two songs. In addition, Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign serve as executive producers of the project.
Fans were shocked by the news of Kanye's retirement. Of course, some people are skeptical, thinking that this may just be to promote the new album. What do you think about this?
