Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album, “Vultures,” experienced an unexpected delay this week as a pre-save link surfaced online ahead of the scheduled release. The setback was compounded by Nicki Minaj’s refusal to clear the leaked track “New Body” for inclusion in the album.
“Vultures” was highly anticipated, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. The album was set to feature the long-leaked collaboration with Nicki Minaj, titled “New Body,” a track that had gained notoriety over the years.
In a bid to secure the song for the official album release, Kanye West reached out to Minaj. However, during an Instagram Live session, Minaj made it clear that she would not grant clearance. She explained her decision, mentioning her recent album release and emphasizing that “New Body” had already been available for three years. Minaj stated, “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?”
“New Body” initially surfaced as part of West’s unreleased 2019 album, “Yandhi,” and its inclusion in “Vultures” had generated excitement among fans.
Minaj’s refusal presents a challenge for the album’s tracklist, leaving fans uncertain about potential replacements or West’s ability to convince Minaj to reconsider. This setback adds to the disappointment of fans who have experienced multiple delays in the release of “Vultures” over the years. The future status of “New Body” and the overall album remains uncertain, with fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
