Despite fans' buzz about the potential pairing, it seemed that the song's journey to release hit a snag yet again. Voicing his exasperation on Instagram, Ye dropped a cryptic message, hinting at the frustrations of repeated attempts, stating, "If you have to ask someone for something more than thrice then you're asking the wrong person".
This certainly left his followers intrigued by the enigmatic revelation. In a quest for the perfect fit, Ye tossed the track to both Ice Spice and Doja Cat, stirring anticipation among fans for their potential contributions. ‘New Body,’ born in 2019, leaked onto the internet, stirring a clamor from Ye’s eager fanbase for its official unveiling.

Ye’s joint venture with Ty Dolla $ign, ‘Vultures’, encountered a major snag courtesy of Nicki Minaj's refusal to greenlight her verse for the track ‘New Body’. Ye’s frustration was palpable in a leaked video where he questioned Minaj's hesitation despite their past collaborations, like the iconic ‘Monster’. Originally slated for his shelved 2019 album, ‘Yandhi’, the leaked popularity of ‘New Body’ only fueled fans' desire for its official release.
In a twist of events, Minaj, during a live Instagram session with her fans, declined to clear her verse, citing her recent album release and reluctance to endorse a track that had been circulating online for years. This decision added another layer of complexity to the ongoing saga, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the resolution of the tangled web surrounding ‘New Body’ and its potential inclusion in the ‘Vultures’ album.
