West’s request to release Minaj’s long-awaited collaboration “New Body” was quickly shut down by the “Pink Friday” rapper. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, West shared a screenshot of a text message he sent to Minaj asking for permission to release the song.
In response to the tweet, the “Super Bass” hitmaker took to Instagram Live, stating, “Chile, the train has left the station. OKAY? No disrespect of any kind.”
He emphasized the recent release of the album, “Pink Friday 2,” and expressed no interest in releasing the song, leaked in 2019, which has been available for three years, urging his followers to understand the situation.
“Why am I releasing a song that has been out for three years? Let’s go, friends,” he added.

Following Minaj’s response to her request to drop “New Body,” West responded, claiming that he helped her career and told her to rewrite her “Monster” verse three times.
He stated, “I made the girl rewrite her verse 3 times for ‘Monster.’ I support his career. So I don’t know what it is.”
West, Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign initially collaborated on “New Body” in 2018 for West’s unreleased album “Yandhi.” The song, celebrating plastic surgery, was allegedly inspired by the “I Wonder” rapper’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who helped facilitate Minaj’s appearance on the album.
However, in 2019, West teased that the explicit song was being reworked for his gospel album, “Jesus Is King.” Unfortunately, the song was later abandoned after the “Anaconda” rapper revealed he had written three different verses for the song, and that he and West no longer “see eye to eye” due to their creative differences.

In 2020, a leaked demo of “New Body” went viral on TikTok, prompting Minaj to ask West to release the song despite her initial resistance.
During the interview with Hot 106, the “Starship” rapper recognized the public appeal of “Badan Baharu”. He described it as “the biggest hit record that never came out.”
“Everybody knows that the shot is gone,” he added.
West didn’t respond publicly at the time, but recently, he revealed plans to include the song, which features Minaj’s verse, on his upcoming joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, titled “Vultures.” However, it is yet to be determined whether the song will be included in the album “Vultures” with Minaj’s opposition.

She hinted at the difference in treatment between her contest and app cash giveaways by other artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B for their song “WAP,” adding: “You can give away millions in app cash. Lol. So Barbz, I’m asking you to show PROOF something that has been SENT OR PURCHASED IS VIOLATING THE RULES. SO pls ignore it. Sorry.”
At the time of writing, Billboard has yet to officially respond, and the next Billboard 200 chart results are expected on Sunday, potentially indicating if “Pink Friday 2” earns Minaj’s first chart-topping LP since 2012’s “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.”
