Is Kanye West, now known as Ye, stepping away from the music scene? According to fellow rapper Rich the Kid, the 47-year-old music mogul has suggested that he might be retiring. The announcement was made through a since-deleted screenshot of a text exchange posted by Rich the Kid on July 9.

In the screenshot, Ye is seen saying, “I am retiring from professional music,” before adding that he’s “not sure what else to do” in his music career.

In his response, Rich the Kid, 31, expresses his disbelief and disappointment and urges Ye to reconsider. “Retire? Why? How? The ppl NEED you the music you &amp; Ty &amp; we have made was the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date in 2024. Drop Ye about mine &amp; V@ and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some time to chill but retiring ain't it,” he wrote.
