Nicki Minaj denied Kanye West‘s request to clear his use of her verse from their 2018 track, New Body, on his new album, Vultures
Despite the 46-year-old rapper’s public appeal to Minaj, 41, she ultimately shut down the idea on her Instagram Live as she pointed out that she did not want to redirect any momentum from her record, Pink Friday 2, to his latest release, which is an upcoming joint project with Ty Dolla $ign.
‘Now, regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, okay?’ she said in the video. ‘No disrespect in any way. I just put out a brand new album. Why would I put out a song that’s been out for three years? Come on, guys.’
Her statement came shortly after he tweeted a screenshot of a text between him and Minaj, in which he asks: ‘Hi it’s ye, may I call you about clearing new body on the new album.’
The text seemingly went unreplied.
West, Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign first recorded New Body five years ago, but it was ultimately scrapped.
After Minaj’s verse on New Body leaked, and went viral on TikTok in 2020, West began reconsidering his decision not to include it on his album.
