American Grammy winner Jay-Z doesn't know how his career will continue.
"I'm not making music or working on an album at the moment.
But I won't say I'm retired," the 52-year-old said on Thursday on the Hart to Heart talk show.
The rapper had tried to say goodbye to the music industry almost 20 years ago.
After the release of the "Black Album" he invited colleagues like Mary J. Blige, Memphis Bleek and his future wife Beyoncé to a farewell concert in Madison Square Garden in New York and said "Farewell" to the fans.
In 2006 he returned with the album "Kingdom Come".
"I needed a break then.
I was just burned out," Jay-Z admitted to comedian Kevin Hart.
Two years after the comeback, he married Beyoncé.
Almost four years later, the singer gave birth to their first child, Blue Ivy, followed five years later by twins Rumi and Sir.
In recent years, the glamor couple has been rather quiet.
Meanwhile, while Beyoncé has announced another album, titled Renaissance, for later this month, it's been almost five years since the rapper's latest album, 4:44.
