The 31-year-old Rich The Kid shared a screenshot of texts he had gotten from an iPhone contact going by the name “Ye,” which is Kanye, on his Instagram Story.

“I’m retiring from professional music,” the message said. Not sure what more can be done.

Rich then made an effort to persuade the father of four to change his mind, even bringing up the success of his joint album Vultures 1 with rapper Ty Dolla $ign recently.
” The music that you, Ty, and I have created is the biggest cultural icon to date. The [people] NEED you.” he penned.
Rich removed the screenshot from his Instagram Story after he saw that Ye had announced his retirement.
