Kanye Tried To Replace Nicki Minaj On 'New Body' With Doja Cat Or Ice Spice

The Kanye track "New Body" has yet to be officially released because Nicki Minaj has yet to clear her verse.

According to leaked texts from YesJulz -- who's currently being sued by Ye for breaking an NDA -- Kanye's team tried to replace Nicki with either Doja Cat or Ice Spice.

"Sent New Body to Ice Spice and Doja Cat" Julz texted to Ye.  "Let's see how sounds best."

Neither must have sounded good because they didn't go in that direction.

In fact, there is some chatter Nicki has finally cleared her verse, and "New Body" will be on Vultures 2 whenever that happens.

Update:  Kanye did like Ice Spice's verse, but her team isn't allowing it to be cleared.

Ice Spice sent Kanye West a verse to replace Nicki Minaj's on 'New Body' but her team won’t let it be released 😳❌
