Beyonce’s cousin, Angelica Knowles, has said that the album Beyonce is working on now will be her last. She is planning on retiring from singing and focus on scouting talent for the The Carter Group, which is Jay-Z’s upcoming label.

She has already found one up and coming star named Chelsea Thomas for the new label.  The girl is an R&B singer and she’s Beyonce’s new protege.

Do you think Beyonce is ready to retire? I don’t, nor do I think she will. Jay-Z announced some time ago that he was retiring and has he yet, nope. I think it is just a sells tactic so more people go out to buy her “last album.” Yeah, I don’t buy it for one minute. The woman is in her early 20’s. She has her whole life ahead of her. Someone with so much talent can’t just sit on their ass, they are born to perform and will continue doing it until there is nothing left.

Why am I getting this feeling that Jay-Z has a huge part in this decision?
