Nicki Minaj denies Kanye West's request to use their 2018 track, New Body, on his new album, Vultures.

Nicki Minaj has recently made headlines after denying Kanye West's request to use her verse from their 2018 track, New Body, on his new album, Vultures. In a text message shared by Ye on X, he asked for her permission to use the track, but Nicki Minaj took to Instagram Live to reject his request, citing the song's age and the fact that she had just released a brand-new album. She expressed that it wouldn't make sense for her to put out a song that had been out for three years when she had just released new music. Vultures, Kanye West's new album, was scheduled to arrive today but is not available on any streaming platforms. Nicki Minaj also mentioned that she was asked to re-record her "New Body" verse to fit Kanye West's gospel album Jesus Is King, but she wasn't "seeing eye to eye" with the Yeezy mogul. She expressed her respect for Kanye and Kim, but it seems that the ship has sailed for "New Body." This situation sheds light on the complexities of the music industry and the creative differences that artists may face when collaborating on projects. It's clear that Nicki Minaj and Kanye West have different visions for the song, and it's interesting to see how their artistic perspectives have evolved over time. The public has come to love "New Body," and it remains a hit record that never officially came out.
