Nicki Minaj has claimed that she's cancelling her new album, and has blamed Jay-Z.

Last month, the Starships rapper announced that her sixth studio album will be released in March next year.

Then yesterday she declared on X: "OK, I'm not going to put out the album anymore. No more music. Hope you're happy now @sc. Bye, Barbz. Love you for life."

@sc is Jay-Z's handle. Barbz is the collective name for Minaj's dedicated fanbase.

In a previous tweet hours before the above declaration, Minaj also wrote about certain parties standing in her way.

"They don't want me to put out music. Me winning makes them feel like they lost. They're right. However, it didn't have to be this way. Lots of ppl part ways in business. They know how successful my next album is going to be. Tried to sign Wayne, Drake, me."

She continued: "So they keep wanting to take or stop my money simply b/c narcissists believe what you work hard for belongs to them. Fuming b/c they can't siphon anymore energy, money, blessings, love, grace, joy, PEACE... the culture. No successful tours. Just vibes & payola. CasiNO."

This follows reports that Jay-Z has been pushing to open a Caesar's Palace casino in Times Square.

According to NME, Minaj has claimed that Jay-Z owes her $200 million (£148 million) for her equity in the music streaming platform Tidal.
