Teyana Taylor had an amazing year with millions of fans listening to and loving
her music, but the “Gonna Love Me ” singer said she feels “underappreciated” by
the industry and is ready to retire.
On Friday, Taylor, 29, posted a screenshot of her Spotify year-in-review statistics,
which included an impressive 162.8 million streams and 15.2 million listeners in 2020. Taylor’s fan base is spread across 92 countries, according to the infographic
in her post. “Wow, who did that? Y’all did that!” Taylor wrote on Instagram. “Thank you. I
ain’t gone front in times of feeling super under appreciated as a artist, receiving little to no real push from the ‘machine’, constantly getting the shorter end of the stick, being overlooked, I mean the list on and on lol.”
The singer said she is “retiring this chapter of my story with the comfort that I can
depart with peace of mind seeing that all the hard work & passion put in was indeed loved & supported somewhere in the world!”

everything & don’t worry y’all know all hustlers have the understanding that when
one door closes another will open,” she wrote. “Either that or I’m pickin da locks
