More about Nicki Minaj's previous career breaks

This wasn't the first time that Nicki had mentioned a hiatus or taking a break from the music industry. While this time, she denied taking any such break, she had opted for it in the past.

In 2018, after the rapper released her fourth studio album titled Queen, Nicki decided to take a break. During this period while she had released a few standalone singles, she didn't drop any new album.

She made a massive comeback with her fifth album Pink Friday 2, which was released in December 2023.

Fans welcomed the artists with much warmth and excitement, after about five years. Then in 2019, Nicki Minaj took to social media where she declared that she was going to retire from the music industry. Nicki then mentioned that she wanted to prioritize her family more.

In a since-removed tweet shared in September 2019, as reported by The Guardian, Nicki wrote:

"I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, ❌ in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. ✅ Love you for LIFE 😘♥️🦄."

At the time, it wasn't clear if she was going to for a temporary break, or if it was more permanent in nature. However, now it could be concluded that it wasn't permanent, since she's still a significant and active part of the music industry.
