Ye has made a startling announcement to Rich The Kid – he is retiring from making music. His reasoning? He simply doesn’t know what else to do with his career.
The news came to light when Rich The Kid shared a snippet of a text conversation with Ye on his Instagram Stories. In the exchange, Ye, a rap legend from Chicago, informed his “Carnival” collaborator about his decision to step away from professional music. However, Rich was not ready to accept this announcement without a fight.
“I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do,” Ye wrote. Rich responded with disbelief, questioning why and how Ye could retire. He emphasized the impact their music, along with Ty and himself, has had on the culture, calling it the biggest stamp to date in 2024. Rich urged Ye to drop a new project and start the cycle all over again, as the kids need him now more than ever.
It seems Ye’s declaration of retirement has sparked a debate within the industry, with Rich The Kid advocating for Ye to continue creating music. Only time will tell if Ye will heed Rich’s advice or if he will truly step away from the music scene for good.
