Kanye West has never been one to shy away from controversy, and his alleged feud with Nicki Minaj over her refusal to clear her verse on his and Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming album, ‘Vultures,’ is no exception. The drama all started when West took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to reach out to Minaj about clearing her verse on the new album. However, it seems that Minaj was not having it, as she took to Instagram Live to share her sentiments about the situation.
In a comedy of errors, West played what appears to be the final version of ‘New Body’ with Minaj’s verse at a recent listening rave, only for Minaj to respond on Instagram Live, essentially saying, “The train has left the station, Kanye.”
Social media users were quick to chime in, largely agreeing with Minaj’s decision not to clear the verse. Comments flooded in on The Shade Room’s post, with users thanking Minaj for standing firm on her decision.
Allegations have also surfaced that Minaj recorded her verse on the song in 2018, with reports indicating that it was inspired by West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Supposedly, Kardashian even helped coordinate Minaj’s presence on the song in a clip captured while recording her former reality show, ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’
As the years passed, Minaj apparently recorded “three different verses” for the track, but she and West drifted apart in “seeing eye to eye” on its creation. West never officially released the track, although snippets of Minaj’s verse went viral online.
And now, with the release of West and Ty Dolla $ign’s album potentially delayed by Minaj’s decision not to clear her verse from the project, things are heating up even more. It seems that there is no end in sight for this feud, and social media users are certainly getting a kick out of the drama.
But wait, the plot thickens. On Friday, December 15, The Shade Room obtained an exclusive video of Kanye West responding to Minaj’s refusal to clear her verse on ‘New Body.’ How will West navigate this unexpected roadblock? Only time will tell.
So, strap in and get ready for the ride, because this feud between West and Minaj is far from over. In the meantime, social media users will continue to speculate and share their hilarious takes on the situation. Stay tuned for more updates on this dramatic saga.
