Rappers Kanye West and Nicki Minaj experienced a significant falling out, which unfolded publicly on December 15, following a delay in the release of Kanye’s album “Vulture.”
Originally scheduled for release on that day, Kanye’s album failed to materialize. Subsequently, he shared a screenshot of a text conversation with Nicki, seeking her approval for the song “New Body” in which she features. This track was initially intended for Kanye’s 2018 album “Yandhi,” which was ultimately scrapped, and a leaked version circulated online.
In response to Kanye’s request, Nicki took a dig at him by releasing the deluxe version of her album “Pink Friday 2” instead. She further expressed on Instagram Live that she would not be endorsing the track for Kanye, stating, “That train has left the station, OK? No disrespect in any way. I just put out a brand new album. Why would I put out a song that’s been out for three years? Come on, guys.”
Expressing his frustration this evening, Kanye alluded to collaborating with the star on his 2010 track “Monster,” seemingly implying that Nicki has forgotten the role he played in elevating her to superstardom.
He stated:
“I made that girl rewrite her verse three times for Monster. I supported her career. So I don’t know what it is.
