"New Body" is an unreleased song by American hip hop superduo ¥$, composed of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. Originally recorded in 2018, it first contained a guest appearance by Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj.[2] Lyrically, the song debunks body shaming and the stigma surrounding plastic surgery; portions of West's lyrics are unintelligible. It was originally slated for inclusion on West's album Yandhi in late 2018, which was never released. A reworked version of the song featuring Christian-themed lyrics was later previewed at listening parties and subsequently leaked. It was this time intended for West's ninth studio album Jesus Is King (2019), from which it was also excluded due to creative differences by West and Minaj. In June 2020, Minaj expressed interest in releasing the song after it became viral on TikTok.
Since its online leak in July 2019, "New Body" has received positive reviews and was noted as a highlight among other Yandhi tracks; however, the leak containing reworked Christian lyrics was tepidly received. In January 2022, Minaj announced plans to work on getting the song on her fifth studio album (2023), although this never came to fruition. In December 2023, the song was included on the first listening party and track listing for West and Ty Dolla Sign's collaborative album Vultures, although Minaj declined for her verse to be included on its official release. West and Ty Dolla Sign's collaborative album, Vultures 1 was released the following February, and once more, "New Body" was excluded.[3][4]
Frustrated, West, according to talent manager YesJulz, sent the song to rappers Ice Spice and Doja Cat, presumably to record on the portions of the song otherwise performed by Minaj. According to West himself, the former's recording failed to release due to forestalling by her management team. As of March 2024, "New Body" is slated to appear on Vultures 2 or its sequel.[5]
