Nicki Minaj blocks release of Kanye West collaboration, postponing his new album

New Body, which dates back to 2018, was expected to be released on Friday on West’s album Vultures, with West instead announcing first footwear project ‘since liberation from Adidas’

Nicki Minaj has blocked the release of New Body, a collaborative song with Kanye West, causing a postponement of the release of West’s new album Vultures.

West was due to release Vultures, a full-length collaboration with vocalist Ty Dolla $ign, on Friday. But shortly after the expected release, he posted a message to Minaj on social media reading: “May I call you about clearing new body on the new album”.
