Drake Shuts Down Retirement Rumors

Drake Squashes Retirement Rumors, “I’m Not At That Point”

On a new episode of Queen Radio, Drake spoke about whether he would be retiring from music.

“I’m not at that point where I even consider that to be an option. One of the best feelings I have in my life is completing a song or a project and sharing it. Those things are painful as well… There’s a lot of pain in creating music and sharing it,” he said.

“I feel like I’m reaching a point now where I’m reaching a new level of fun with this sh-t. It’s comfort. I reached a new level of comfortability. Even with the last album I put out, it was something I wanted to do to challenge myself and try something.”

Nicki Minaj once announced her retirement in 2019 but she returned quickly.

“Well, I think it wasn’t that I stopped loving music, I feel like I stopped loving the music business, you know, for a little bit,” the rapper said on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

“I realized that it is in my power to navigate the industry the way I want to, and I think I was giving other people and other entities the power over how my career was being navigated. And now I’m not doing that,” she added.

“I choose now to enjoy every moment of everything I am doing.”
