– I’m sorry, followers of Nicki Minaj! It appears that her friendship with Kanye West, “New Body” will never see the light of the day. In his latest single “Status” Ty Dolla $ign, who was also involved in the collaboration, reported that while he was not happy with the finished product, the rapper and fashion designer declined to release the joint single.
The single was published on Friday, October 23, and found Ty rapping, “I told Ye to drop the OG ‘New Body’ (Body)/ I told Ye to run for president (President)/ He said, ‘Dolla, you too good to put your voice on that generic s**t.’ “
This leaves Nicki fans understandably sad, given that the album is what they have been expecting for so long. “kanye calling ‘new body’ trash when he hasn’t put out a good song since like 2016 is so funny to me.”Kanye calling ‘new body’ trash when he hasn’t published a good song because it’s so funny to me like 2016.”So he wasted Nicki’s time even writing the damn verse just for him to now say it’s ‘generic’ ????? She doesn’t needs to collab with ever again.”So he wasted Nicki’s time even writing the damn verse just for him to say it’s ‘generic’ now?????? She doesn’t have to collab with it ever again.
In October 2018, when Kanye disclosed in an interview that he had a song with Nicki and Ty regarding body shaming, “New Body” was first announced. In an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, the audio of Nicki’s verse was previewed until the final edition circulated online in July 2019. In addition, Kanye previewed the single for his album “Jesus Is King” at several listening sessions, however the song was ultimately dropped from the effort owing to the artistic disagreements between Kanye and Nicki.
“Kanye included “Fresh Body” earlier this year in his forthcoming tenth album “Donda: With Boy,” but it is unclear when the song would be released by the “Popular” rapper. Furthermore, it seems like he has omitted Nicki’s verse from the current edition.
