Will YBN Nahmir retire? Fans say 'stop embarrassing yoself' as rapper hints at ending career in strange tweets

'After my album I really just wanna be done. Tired of fake ni**as, fake teams, weak a** conflict of interested. Everything. Imma give y’all the best music ever then I’m gone,' he said

Nicholas Alexander Simmons, better known by his stage name YBN Nahmir, took to his social media on Monday (November 23) to voice his frustration over his team, conflict of interests and "everything" while confirming that he officially wants out of the music game. The 20-year-old rapper promises to give his fans one final treat before quitting. "After my album I really just wanna be done," he wrote on Twitter. "Tired of fake ni**as, fake teams, weak a** conflict of interested. Everything. Imma give y’all the best music ever then I’m gone," he noted.

It's unclear who and what exactly led Nahmir to take this decision that he mentioned in his tweet. But what is even stranger is that the rapper later retracted the note by saying that he was just joking as he plans to go on a hiatus instead. Yet the initial message remains on his account. "I was playing B***h imma just take a lil break," he said.

Then Nahmir asked what "ratio" means in another tweet. After fans answered him, the rapper wrote: "wow y’all some f**king dweebs."

For those unaware of what getting ratioed means, the term is used when replies to a tweet largely outnumber likes or retweets, meaning people are objecting to the tweet and considering its content bad. The tweets by the rapper on Monday didn't sit well with his fans. "U sound mad pressed," said a fan, while another wrote, "Stop bro u just embarrassing yoself." One fan said, "Get off Twitter and make some good music." Another said Nahmir is asking for the online ratio treatment: "yea you just asking for it at this point." "Meme twitter is literally giving you likes rn if it wasn’t for us your account would be dead," added another fan.

Whatever the cause for the rapper's confusing tweets, it all may stem from frustrations after disbanding from his rap group, the YBN crew. The group’s three main rappers, YBN Nahmir, YBN Almighty Jay, and YBN Cordae, went their separate ways in August. The disbandment was first shared by Nahmir himself, the YBN de facto leader, on Twitter on August 6. “They left this YBN shit in the gutter. Remember that. I’ll turn it up myself," he subtweeted. In response to a fan, he replied, “Yea, it’s only me kid.” 

Meanwhile, Nahmir has been busy with his solo debut album announced back in September. Titled 'Visionland', the upcoming LP is slated for a release on December 18.
