Otep Shamaya, the mastermind behind longtime nü-metal band Otep, is selling her musical equipment and retiring. Shamaya posted on social media saying she's liquidating her extensive collection of music equipment, and for any interested parties to message her.

"Hello. I am liquidating my extensive music equipment: autographed guitars used on tour/studio, a rare Yamaha drum set used by Moke on tour/studio, a FOH Berringer board, X32 for IEM control from stage, stage lighting, smoke machines w/ LED lights, stage monitors & much more. I will provide updates once everything is prepared. Only serious inquiries with serious financial offers will be considered. Thank you for your love & advocacy over the years. #OTEP"

When asked what's going on, Shamaya simply responded that she's retiring for good. Shamaya noted she'll elaborate on the decision later. "So many ask why I'm retiring and then I have to sit here and block bozos talking shit," wrote Shamaya. "Yes, I'm retiring. For real. For good. My reasons will be given before years end. Thank u to my real ones."
