Yesterday Barb twitter was in a FRENZY chile, after their Queen said she was retiring. Now Nicki has spoken on her comments in a follow up tweet saying they were “abrupt and insensitive.”
Nicki Minaj has been making comments for sometime about settling down and starting a family with her man Kenneth Petty. Yesterday she let the world know that she’s SERIOUS serious, announcing her retirement.
The above tweet has since been deleted, and Nicki took the time to respond to a fan on Twitter promising “a Queen Radio discussion,” to hash out all the details.
I’m still right here. Still madly in love with you guys & you know that. In hindsight, this should’ve been a Queen Radio discussion & it will be. I promise u guys will be happy. No guests, just us talking about everything. The tweet was abrupt & insensitive, I apologize babe ♥️🙏 https://t.co/eS0oHipwtg

And yet still, the Barbz who are arguably one of THE most loyal fan bases out there, are understandably in shambles. There are five stages of grief people; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. And it seems the the Barbs are def in the denial stage as of now! Take a look at some of the tweets below:

Look y’all, people do COME OUT of retirement okay! HELLO anyone heard of Michael Jordan??? So it doesn’t mean that all is lost. For now though, it looks like we’ll have to wait for that Queen radio episode!
In other Nicki news, she just announced that she’s releasing a collab with Fendi in October; and from the looks of it, it’s everything we’d expect from the Harajuku Barbie and MORE! Take a look below:
