Since last year Kayne West and Nicki Minaj had got together for a song titled ‘New Body’. But now it has now been confirmed that rapper Minaj’s verse in West’s New Body has been scrapped. Kayne is planning to release an alternate version of the song instead. The reworked song will reportedly feature on West’s 10th studio album Donda. The album is named after the rapper’s mother and is slated for release on July 24.
A leaked version of the original ‘New Body’ track had gone viral on TikTok soon after it surfaced online last year. It featured guest contributions from Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign. At the time it was made, the track was expected to feature on Kayne West’s album Yandhi. The original version had received a lot of praise and attention after it went viral on Tiktok in July 2019. Fans and critics noted that it was one of the highlights from the leaked Yandhi tracks. But it never released.
The original lyrics of ‘New Body’ was about body shaming and the social stigma after plastic surgery but was later reworked by Kayne West to incorporate a positive Christian-themed message. Nicki Minaj said that the new song was more gospel-themed. The reworked gospel song was later previewed at listening parties for West’s ninth studio album Jesus Is King (2019). However, it was later known that due to creative differences between Nicki Minaj and Kayne West, the song had been scrapped from the Jesus Is King album altogether.
