Their history with that song dates back to 2018 as Minaj recorded the song with the duo for the rapper’s scrapped albumYandhi.It was then re-recorded for his 2019 gospel record,Jesus Is Kingwith a new verse sung by the Queen of Rap. However, it didn’t sit well with her as she complained back at the time,
“What’s funny is that I did a song with Kanye, that he now wants to transform into a gospel song. I done wrote three different verses chile, and I don’t know. We ain’t seeing eye to eye on it,”she toldThe Shade Roomat the time.
The song was an eventual hit on TikTok after getting leaked however the actress has already made herself clear that the song would not be released. In an interview with theHot 106at the time, she stated,
“The public adored ‘New Body.’ Like, ‘New Body’ is the biggest hit record that never came out.”She added,“Had ‘New Body’ been out when he was not in his gospel era, then it would’ve seen the light of day. But, it didn’t, so it wasn’t meant to be. Everybody knows that’s the hit that got away. … I think the ship has sailed for ‘New Body,’ everybody has come to love the original way they heard it.”
Meanwhile, the album is garnering mixed reactions due to West’s past comments about anti-semitism, leading to major controversy.
