G-Unit’s highly acclaimed DJ Whoo Kid has prepared his retirement from the mixtape business and the world of hip-hop. The Queens native expressed his intentions and the shady actions behind the music industry, specifically in the realm of hip-hop.
“I can’t take it anymore. Hip-hop is a violent, ruthless business. When you’re popping, they have ways of deading you. I just want to be the one to dead my career,” Whoo Kid said to Baller Status.
He also explained the amount of work needed for the industry and his appearance as factors to his retirement. “It’s a lot of work. I can’t do it. I’m very tired [and] I’m not trying to be an old DJ wearing a chain with a tight shirt,” Whoo Kid said.
To further illustrate the seriousness of his retirement, Whoo Kid explained his plan to leave the U.S. “I’m moving to Thailand. I already got everything planned. I got a house in Hawaii and I’m moving to Thailand,” he said.
Although he will be releasing the second volume of G-Unit’s ThisIs50.com series, “The Elephant in the Sand,” Whoo Kid has maintained that he does not have plans on furthering his mixtapes.
Despite the withdrawal from mixtape outlet, he will continue business ventures with an emphasis on television, radio, and marketing through his Shadyville Entertainment company.
Until Whoo Kid finally puts the DJ set up for good, he may still be heard on Shade 45’s G-Unit Radio show and seen in his own entertainment magazine, POW!.
