Kanye West Hints at Retirement as Rich The Kid Announces New Collaboration
Rapper Rich The Kid shared a text message exchange suggesting that Kanye West, now known as Ye, is considering retiring from music. In the since-deleted screenshot, Ye stated, “I am retiring from professional music,” citing uncertainty about his next steps in the industry. However, Rich The Kid reacted with disbelief, urging Ye not to retire and emphasizing the impact of their collaborative work.
Shortly after posting the texts, Rich The Kid announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he is releasing new music featuring Ye on his upcoming album, Life’s a Gamble, set to drop on July 19. The album includes a track with Ye titled “Plain Jane” and another single featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Peso Pluma. Their previous collaboration, “Carnival,” with Playboi Carti and Ty Dolla $ign, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite Ye’s retirement hint, he and Ty Dolla $ign are scheduled to bring their Vultures listening experience to Korea on August 23. Their follow-up project, Vultures 2, which won them a 2024 BET Award for Best Group, is reportedly nearly complete and could be released soon.
Music executive Ubi Franklin speaks on music and shares how music is actually very risky to get into, and he explains why.
He states that no matter how much you put into music, you are never sure of how much you will get back.
He said “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”
Popular singer Lil Nas X shares an emotional tribute to his mum.

The rapper shared this over the weekend. No one is really sure of the details, her age, or how or when she died. However, many sympathise with the singer as he loses a parent.
Nigerian actress Mo Bimpe gets emotional online as she states that she was invited to Rakeem, Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s son’s birthday party and had a good time.
She then got emotional, remembering when she was not usually invited to such events because she did not have kids. She always felt sad because of this, so going for this birthday party made her happy.
She added at the end “Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration. Invite her. Love her. Celebrate with her. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile.”
