The Queen of Hip-Pop is doing some “soul searching.” First, her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded didn’t sell as many albums as expected (even though the album came in at #1, sales in its second week plunged by 70%). Then, she shut down her twitter page leaving 11 million + fans in the cold. Now, Nicki Minaj is subliminally talking about retirement?

In an interview with Tim Westwood, Nicki refers to herself in third person as “the kid” and has this to say:

People aren’t even giving the kid props for taking it back to the essence… This is my fourth mixtape really. You know what I’m saying. The Kid did like that so she could feed her fans. But really, now the Kid is thinking maybe she should leave the game.
