Kanye West’s high praise for Nicki Minaj captures in resurfaced 2015 video clip

How the world has evolved.When it comes to artists, Kanye West is really unique. No other rapper has been so fierce about giving credit where credit is due before going on to criticize the work of others. Despite reviving several careers, no rapper has yet managed to wreck his own. An intriguing and very unexpecteԀ tale unfolds. These strange bends and twists are perfectly exemplified by West’s relationship with Nicki Minaj. Hip-hop artist Kanye West acknowledged in a recently recovered 2015 video that Nicki Minaj’s line on his iconic Һit “Monster” was a turning point in his career.

He mentioned Nicki Minaj as one of the most notable aspects of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in a lecture he gave. On top of that, she kicked me as I was performing my song. The finest record, or at least one of the top albums. The crowd laughed at West’s last remarks, although he has maintained this position for years. He showered Minaj with roses on multiple occasions to thank her for writing the song’s greatest verse. However, in 2023, the praise became more nuanced. Clearance concerns sparked an internet feud between West and Minaj, who had previously appeared to be amicable. In the song “New Body,” Minaj was asked by West to clear her verse, but she declined.

The “Monster” verse was referenced by Kanye West in response. “I made that girl rewrite her verse 3 times for ‘Monster,'” said he. My position was one of encouragement for her professional endeavors. Therefore, I am uttеrly confused. Neither did the artist try to conceal his displeasure with Minaj. For all to see, he shared a screen capture of their text chat on social media. Probably with the intention of pressuring Nicki Minaj into removing her vocals. But she stayed her ground. The symbol of Young Money refused to back down, and the single “New Body” was never officially released.

On the other hand, Nicki Minaj did clarify her stance on “New Body” clearance. On Instagram Live, she discussed the issue and said that the song’s age was to blame for the backlash it had received. She boldly stated, “That train has left the station” in reference to Kanye. I just released an album, and I meаn it in the most respectful way possible. After three years, why would I release a music that already has? Even in its unpublished state, the song enjoys cult status.
