Kanye West is allegedly retiring from “professional music”.
The rapper’s retirement plans were revealed in an alleged text message exchange with rapper Rich The Kid.
Rich The Kid, 31, uploaded a screenshot to his Instagram Story of messages he’d received from an iPhone contact under the name “Ye”, which is Kanye’s name.
The message read: “I’m retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.”
Rich then tried to convince the father-of-four to reconsider his decision, even bringing up the recent success of his Vultures 1 album with rapper Ty Dolla $ign.
“Retire? Why ? How ? The [people] NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made was the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date In 2024,” he wrote.
