Kanye West Claps Back at Nicki Minaj Over 'New Body' Verse Denial

In the latest development in the music industry, Kanye West has responded to Nicki Minaj’s refusal to allow her verse from their 2018 track ‘New Body’ to be featured on his new album, ‘Vulture’. This response comes after the album’s release was delayed and Nicki’s subsequent decision to release the deluxe version of her album ‘Pink Friday 2’ instead.

Kanye, seeking to include the track ‘New Body’ in his album, shared a screenshot of a text message he sent to Nicki, asking for her approval. However, Nicki declined his request during an Instagram Live session, stating, “That train has left the station, OK? 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.”

In retaliation, Kanye brought up their collaboration on the 2010 hit ‘Monster’, suggesting that he played a significant role in boosting Nicki’s career. He expressed his sentiments by saying, “I made that girl rewrite her verse three times for Monster. I supported her career. So I don’t know what it is.”

This exchange between the two rap icons has become a hot topic among fans, as it highlights the complexities and dynamics of collaboration and creative control in the music industry. With both artists holding significant influence and legacies, this fallout has caught the attention of the music community worldwide.
