J Hus, one of the UK’s most famous rappers, has shocked his fans by announcing he is retiring from touring.
In a message to his 347k Twitter followers, the 23-year-old said: "No shows for the next 3/4 years, maybe more.
“I will never do a tour again in my life. You won’t see me but at least you’ll hear me.”
J Hus, whose hits include Did You See and Bouff Daddy, made the bombshell announcement on social media this morning.
He added in another tweet: “After this album no more features. I wanna do a joint tape with Burna [Boy] one day maybe & a tune wid 21 savage (sic).”
J Hus, real name Momodou Lamin Jallow, shot to fame after being raised in Stratford, east London.
He released his debut album 'Common Sense’ in 2017, which won Album Of The Year at the 2018 NME Awards.
The acclaimed rapper was released from jail back in April after serving four months of an eight month sentence when he was caught in Stratford Westfield shopping centre carrying a knife.
Hours after being released, he made an iconic appearance on stage with Drake during his show at The O2 in London.
J Hus returned with new single Must Be, marking his first new track since his release from prison.
The latest offering from the rapper arrived in the early hours of the morning on November 8 and sees him experimenting with the Afrobeats sound that featured heavily on his acclaimed debut album.
J Hus’ retirement announcement comes just months after fans showed their support for the rapper earlier this year, when he posted a concerning message on Snapchat.
The rapper referenced the death of his father and his time in jail in the message on the social media platform.
Updating fans on his second record, he added that “this album is very good as well”, before continuing, “I sincerely apologise to anyone I’ve intentionally and unintentionally hurt or done harm to.
“Please forgive me. I was probably at a stage where I didn’t know myself. Everyday I look back at my history and feel regret.”
