American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, Kanye West has announced his retirement from professional music but is unsure of what to do next.
The ‘Ye’ crooner stated this in a recent chat with Rich The Kid.
In the screenshot, YE wrote, “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.”
In a bid to persuade him to shelve his plans, Rich The Kid wrote, “Retire? Why? How? The people need you. The music you, TY [Dollar $ign] and we have made was the biggest stamp in culture to this date in 2024.
“Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again. The kids need you, big bro. Fashion maybe some time to chill but retiring ain’t it.” [Sic].
He didn’t share whether West accepted his advice or not.
Kanye West is one of the most prominent figures in hip-hop; he is known for his varying musical styles.
He started his music career as a producer in Chicago after dropping out of college.
After co-producing Jay-Z’s 2001 album “The Blueprint,” he rose to fame and was later hired by Roc-A-Fella Records as an internal producer.
West’s debut album, “The College Dropout,” was widely praised by critics and became the number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 single “Slow Jamz” in 2004.
He went on to become the joint most-awarded hip-hop artist in the Grammys’ history along with Jay-Z with 24 golden gramophones.
