Kanye’s “New Body”: A Hip-Hop Odyssey Takes a Dramatic Turn
Get ready, hip-hop fans! The story of Kanye West’s unreleased track “New Body” has become quite an adventure, much like a paper caught in a windy Chicago day. Initially planned for his 2018 album “Yandhi,” the song was put on hold when Nicki Minaj chose not to approve her verse. Just when we thought everything was settled, whispers of a comeback with a fresh team have emerged, leaving us all a bit puzzled.
Kanye West sent ‘New Body’ to Doja Cat & Ice Spice after Nicki Minaj refused to clear it ahead of its upcoming release of Vultures 2 👀🚨

In 2018, the story started with anticipation. “New Body” was set to shine on “Yandhi,” but Nicki Minaj, for unknown reasons (some say it was about timing and relevance), paused her verse. This made fans sad and the track’s fate unsure.
Fast forward to the present, and leaked text messages – allegedly from Kanye himself to influencer YesJulz – sent shockwaves through the hip-hop world. The messages hinted at a “New Body” renaissance, with the baton being passed to Doja Cat and the buzzy newcomer Ice Spice. However, YesJulz later clarified that she, not Kanye, initiated contact with the rappers’ management teams. Discuss an unexpected plot twist that could rival the excitement of a rap video!
Nicki Minaj, ever the queen of setting the record straight, addressed the situation during an Instagram Live. She firmly stated that her chance to shine on “New Body” had passed, questioning the point of revisiting a shelved track after her recent album release. It seems like a collaboration with Nicki Minaj is officially out of the picture.
Adding another layer of drama to this already complex story, Kanye is embroiled in a legal battle with YesJulz over a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) allegedly being breached. This whole situation is messier than a spilled cup of lean at a crowded club.
So, let’s discuss the latest updates on “New Body.” The leaked texts are still a bit unclear in terms of their authenticity. It would be helpful to wait for official confirmation from Kanye, Doja Cat, Ice Spice, or Nicki Minaj before drawing any conclusions.
One thing is certain: as “Vultures 2” is on its way, the future of “New Body” is uncertain. Could it blossom anew with Doja Cat and Ice Spice, bringing fresh energy to the song? Or will it stay a captivating peek into what might have been, a forgotten verse lingering in Kanye’s creative world?
We can only wait and see. One thing is clear: the world eagerly anticipates the next part of this hip-hop journey. Keep watching, everyone, as this tale is still unfolding.
