JAY-Z Clears Up Retirement Rumors, Says He's 'Not Actively' Making Music But 'Open to Whatever'

etonline.com:

JAY-Z might not be in the studio right now, but he's not saying he's retired from the music game, either. The 52-year-old sat down with Kevin Hart for the comedian's  series on Peacock, where he addressed those pesky retirement rumors, and how taking his first-ever vacation and becoming a father impacted his approach to his career.Explaining that his future plans are up in the air, the hip-hop mogul said he doesn't know «what happens next.»«I'm not actively making music or making an album or have plans to make an album,» he added. «But I never want to say I'm retired… It's a gift, and who am I to shut it off?

It's open to whatever. It may have a different form, a different interpretation. Maybe it's not an album. Maybe it is. I have no idea, but I'm just gonna leave it open.»It's no secret the father of three has made a name for himself both in music and in business.

With 24 GRAMMYs under his belt and a diverse business portfolio spanning from his streaming service, Tidal, to his 40/40 Club franchise, the star's resume is packed.

But, after welcoming his children — daughter Blue Ivy, 10, and twins Sir and Rumi, 5 -- with his ultra-famous other half, Beyoncé, JAY-Z's outlook on how he spends his time has shifted.
