Nicki Minaj was recently interviewed and spoke about different artists she’s worked with in the last few years, including Kanye West. Nicki and Kanye came together for the track “New Body,” which was supposed to be on West’s ‘Yandhi’ album that never released. The song ended up getting leaked online and going viral. Now, Nicki has addressed the music and the process of making the unreleased track.
Minaj went on to say, “I respect everybody and where they are in life, where they are spiritually. The public adored ‘New Body.’ Like, ‘New Body’ is the biggest hit record that never came out.” Nicki was very candid about the process behind recording the song, along with West’s moves following the session. The Queens rapper said “So, what I thought was interesting was that Kanye made me write my ‘New Body’ verse four times over in order to fit into where he was creatively and spiritually in his life, right, only to then go on the internet a few months later to see him on Drink Champs.”
Nicki concluded by saying ““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.” Watch above.
