Kanye West collaborated with Nicki Minaj on New Body, a song originally written for Kanye's 2018 album, Yandhi. However, the song was never released and remained in release hell due to creative differences between West and Minaj, before it was ultimately leaked online in 2019.
The new song will be included in West's upcoming studio album Vultures, which is scheduled to be released soon. But the rapper tweeted Nicki Minaj to request that it be cleared for release:
The tweet has gone viral on social media and has generated hilarious reactions, as exemplified by the tweet below:

Nicki Minaj has since then responded to the message stating she will not clear the song for release in a general press release. As fans flocked onto the live session to ask her about the song, she responded,
"That train has left the station. No disrespect in any way. I just put out a new album, why would I put out a song that has been out for 3 years?”
Netizens were quick to react to Kanye's tweet to Nicki Minaj, taking to social media, particularly X (Twitter) to express their feelings on the matter.
Some commented on the hasty nature of the album release. Others mentioned that the drama between the two was the real entertainment on the internet right now.
Kanye West is set to release his latest studio album, Vultures, on December 15, 2023. The album, a collaboration with Ty Dolla Sign, is being self released and has had a rocky promotional campaign with multiple events.
