Do you have to do CTL-C or does just ENTER also return you to normal screen? nohup always writes some text to the monitor. So maybe you just don't see the command prompt displayed?

DMENU(1) General Commands Manual DMENU(1)
NAME
dmenu - dynamic menu
SYNOPSIS
dmenu [-b] [-i] [-l lines] [-m monitor] [-p prompt] [-fn font] [-nb color] [-nf color] [-sb color] [-sf color] [-v]
dmenu_run ...
dmenu_path
DESCRIPTION
dmenu is a dynamic menu for X, originally designed for dwm(1). It manages huge numbers of user-defined menu items efficiently.
dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a menu. When the user selects an item or enters any text and
presses Return, their choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates.
dmenu_run is a dmenu script used by dwm which lists programs in the user's PATH and executes the selected item.
dmenu_path is a program used by dmenu_run to find and cache a list of executables.
OPTIONS
-b dmenu appears at the bottom of the screen.
-i dmenu matches menu items case insensitively.
-l lines
dmenu lists items vertically, with the given number of lines.
-m monitor
dmenu appears on the given Xinerama screen.
-p prompt
defines the prompt to be displayed to the left of the input field.
-fn font
defines the font or font set used.
-nb color
defines the normal background color. #RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported.
-nf color
defines the normal foreground color.
-sb color
defines the selected background color.
-sf color
defines the selected foreground color.
-v prints version information to standard output, then exits.
USAGE
dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard. Besides standard Unix line editing and item selection (Up/Down/Left/Right, PageUp/Page-
Down, Home/End), the following keys are recognized:
Tab (Control-i)
Copy the selected item to the input field.
Return (Control-j)
Confirm selection. Prints the selected item to standard output and exits, returning success.
Shift-Return (Control-Shift-j)
Confirm input. Prints the input text to standard output and exits, returning success.
Escape (Control-c)
Exit without selecting an item, returning failure.
Control-y
Paste the current X selection into the input field.
