Nicki Minaj has explained to her followers that she is too busy to give any time to Kanye West for his new album and their previous collaborative track
Nicki Minaj has shot down Kanye West’s hopes of releasing his collaboration track with her on his new album Vultures.
The Super Freaky Girl rapper shared a reply to a text message she received from Ye with her fans which was sent just hours before the rumoured release date of his new album. She then shot down his hopes of gaining her approval for including the track they previously collaborated on a few years ago on his release.
She said on an Instagram live: “Now regarding Kanye, chile, that train has left the station.” Nicki then cited her busy schedule around the release of her album Pink Friday 2 as a reason why she doesn’t have time to work with Kanye.

She added: “Okay, 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.”
Kanye posted the screenshot of the message on X. He wrote to Nicki: “Hey it’s Ye. May I call you about clearing New Body on the new album.” Nicki had notably not replied to his message.
New Body was originally intended for Kanye’s album Yandhi several years ago but the release ended up being scrapped. Nicki has now released her first album in five years and is busy promoting it on all channels possible.
Ye meanwhile has caused a stir with his latest rant where he has again shared antisemitic views as he ranted to a room full of his peers in Las Vegas. The rapper was filmed delivering a concerning 10-minute speech in front of a room full of people on Friday morning in Las Vegas as he scathed about a series of issues and even appeared to draw a link between himself and Jesus as he shouted “It’s 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world,” he then continued: “Who’s going to make the hospitals, though? He’s a Zionist, Trump. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye, third party, sponsor that.”

He repeatedly mentioned his custody agreement with ex-wife Kim Kardashian as he discussed “access” to his kids and referenced how his daughter – seemingly North – “ripped up the mother f**king couches in the house to be able to be with me right now.” Kanye also screamed “f***” Balenciaga, Gap and Louis Vuitton,” as he referenced past fashion collaborations and admitted that he only supported Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to see Larry Hoover freed from prison.
He then asked “where are my royalties” as he said he has been made a poster boy for mental health issues such as Bipolar because of voicing his opinion. The chart-topper also referenced the death of Aaron Carter as he mentioned sampling the Backstreet Boys on his new album. Kanye repeatedly referenced how he was “told I wouldn’t see my kids” if he continued to “give my opinion (on Jews).”
