Ty Dolla $ign has brought back an old Kanye West leak by updating the track and using it to create more buzz for his upcoming album.
On Tuesday (October 10), the 41-year-old musician rekindled his previously ended collaboration with Ye and Nicki Minaj on “New Body” by taking over the turntables at a club in Florence, Italy, which wasn’t a complete surprise since he had done the same thing last month.
In late September, Dolla $ign previewed the track at the Le Baroque club in Geneva, Switzerland, after he had gone missing for several years, ending the teaser with a big announcement as he told the crowd, “A new album is on the way.” “

Nicki Minaj reunites with Kanye West on ‘New Body’ for her planned Yandy album in 2019, but the release date came and went and their collaboration was ultimately shelved. During an interview with Hot 106 Last year, she explained how Kanye’s decision to record a gospel album was the reason the song wasn’t released.
“I respect everyone and where they are in life, where they are spiritually,” Minaj said. “The public adored New Body.” For example, “New Body” is the biggest hit that was never released. So what I found interesting was that Kanye had me write my “New Body” verse four times to fit in with where he was creatively and spiritually in his life, right, only for me to then go on the Internet for several months. see him later Drink of Champions“
She continued: “I think I missed it for a whole year. If “New Body” had come out when it wasn’t in the gospel era, it would have seen the light of day. But this didn’t happen, so it shouldn’t have happened. Everyone knows it’s the hit that slipped away… I think the ship sailed for ‘New Body’ and everyone loved the original way they heard it.”
During an interview with Shadow room In 2019, Nicki Minaj revealed that she was asked to re-record a verse from “New Body” to turn it into a gospel track for Jesus is King. However, she stated that she does not see eye to eye with Kanye West.
“What’s funny is that I wrote a song with Kanye that he now wants to turn into gospel,” she said. “I wrote three different poems in Chile, and I don’t know. We don’t see eye to eye on this. I don’t know, but of course I love and respect Kanye and Kim, we’ll see what happens.”
