The message starts off with a freestyle to West’s latest release, “No More Parties In L.A.,” in which Bey changes “L.A” to “S.A.” After his freestyle, Bey goes on to explain his current situation explaining that he is, “being prevented from leaving unjustly and unlawfully.” He continues to say that he hasn’t broken any law and that he just wants to go home.

After further explaining the circumstances behind his detainment Bey continued to announce, “I’m retiring from the music recording industry as it is currently assembled today and also Hollywood, effective immediately. I will be releasing my final album this year, and that’s that. Peace to all.”

Bey continued to shoutout some people including West and Kendrick Lamar, saying “Shout out to K. Lamar, I see you my dude.”

He ended by professing his love for the people and city he has lived in for the past 3 years, according to Stereogum, but said that “We’re through.”
