Nicki Minaj starting a family doesn’t come as a surprise. In the past, she’s been transparent about her planned timeline of releasing 5 albums before having a baby.
The retirement does come as a surprise though because she once said she was contractually obligated to do 6 albums— Ivie Ani (@ivieani) September 5, 2019
