In addition to the antisemitic lyrics, West also appears to reference his former managerScooter Braun. “I just f—ed Scooter’s bitch,” he raps before citing the Columbine High School shooting tragedy.
Then, in December,Nicki Minajshut down West’s request that the track, which has been on the back burner since at least 2018, be included inVultures.
West got the ball rolling when he tweeted a screenshot of a text message he’d seemingly sent Minaj asking for permission to release “New Body” onVultures, a new project made with the “Or Nah” rapper.
“Hi it’s ye,” West wrote in the text, which he shared to X (formerly Twitter). “May I call you about clearing new body on the new album.”
Though the text did not receive an immediate response from Minaj, she did address its release in anInstagram Live, explaining that the song would not be coming out because the moment had passed.
“Now regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, OK?” she said. “No disrespect in any way, I just put out a brand new album. Now why would I put out a song that has been out for three years? Come on guys. You know?”
