Nicki Minaj Declines Kanye West’s Request to Clear ‘New Body’ Verse
Nicki Minaj has declined Kanye West’s request to clear her verse on the song ‘New Body.’
Originally, Nicki Minaj collaborated with Kanye West on ‘New Body,’ alongside Ty Dolla $ign for Kanye’s unreleased Yandhi album. The track was later intended for Jesus is King, featuring a new verse from Nicki to complement Kanye’s newfound faith. Unfortunately, the release never materialized and was instead leaked in 2019.
In the past year, Nicki revealed that she re-wrote her verse on the potential hit numerous times to fit with Jesus is King, but expressed disappointment that the song never saw the light of day, firmly believing it to be a potential hit..
During an interview with Rhode Island’s Hot 106 radio station, Nicki shared her perspective, saying, “So what I thought was interesting was that Kanye made me write my ‘New Body’ verse four times over in order to fit into where he was creatively and spiritually in his life, right, only then do I go on the internet a few months later to see him on Drink Champs, rolling a blunt and smoking or whatever he was doing.”
Continuing her narrative, she expressed, “I missed it by a year, I guess. Had ‘New Body’ been out when he was not in his gospel era, then it would’ve seen the light of day. But, it didn’t, so it wasn’t meant to be. Everybody knows that was the hit that got away.”
Fast-forward to the present, Kanye shared a screenshot on social media, indicating that he had texted Nicki Minaj, requesting her approval to use the record for his upcoming collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, titled Vultures. However, Nicki, during an Instagram Live, firmly stated that she would not be granting clearance, stating that the “train has left the station.”
“Now regarding Kanye, chile, that train has left the station,” she said. “Okay, no disrespect in anyway. I just put out a brand-new album. Why would I put out a song that’s been out for three years? C’mon guys.”
After releasing Halloween Havoc IV: The 72nd Hour last October, Lloyd Banks is back on social media to announce his upcoming project, All Or Nothing Vol. 3: Despite My Mistakes. This will be the third installment in the All Or Nothing series, following Failure’s No Option (F.N.O.) in 2013 and Live It Up in 2016. As of now, Banks has yet to reveal an official release date.
After collaborating with Ty Dolla $ign on Vulture 1 & 2, Kanye West surprised fans by announcing his forthcoming solo album titled Bully during a live performance at the Wuyuan River Stadium in Haikou, China.
“I got a new album coming out,” he revealed to the audience. “The album’s called ‘Bully,’ and this song is called ‘Beauty and the Beast.’” He then debuted the song, which features his signature vocal style over an instrumental. The lyrics include, “I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.”

On September 5, Dequantes Devontay Lamar, known to the world as Rich Homie Quan, tragically passed away at the age of 34.
Quan’s father and longtime manager, Corey Lamar, initially planned a small, private service for close family, stating it was important to “begin the healing process.” However, he later reconsidered, saying, “Without the fans, there would be no Quan.”
In honor of Rich Homie Quan’s life and legacy, Fox 5 Atlanta will be live streaming the funeral service at World Changers Church International in College Park.
Rich Homie Quan rose to prominence in 2013 with his breakout single “Type of Way,” which reached number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100. His mixtape Still Goin’ In (Reloaded) was later named one of the top 10 mixtapes of the year by Rolling Stone. The following year, Quan teamed up with Problem for the hit single “Walk Thru” and joined forces with Birdman’s Rich Gang. Alongside Young Thug, he became part of the group’s success, with their single “Lifestyle,” produced by London On Da Track, earning platinum certification.
Quan later returned to his solo career, releasing his debut album Rich as in Spirit in 2018.
