Fans are well aware that the song, which initially had a verse by Nicki Minaj, was supposed to be released in 2018 as a part of Ye's 'Yandhi' album, which was eventually canceled.
The song's original version had Nicki Minaj, and Ye's joint album 'Vultures' with Ty Dolla Sign featured it as one of its tracks when it was released in February 2024. However, the 41-year-old 'Heartless' rapper turned down having the verse on the album.
Minaj told her followers in December 2023 that she was not planning to have her verse from 'New Body' cleared for release. Minaj asserted during an IG Live session that the "train has left the station," stressing that she meant "no disrespect" to Ye and his team.
