Surprise, surprise Kanye's Vultures album didn't drop last night.

Even though he threw a fancy listening party and all that.

It's possible the delay had something to do with Nicki Minaj.

Kanye sent her a last-minute request to clear her verse on "New Body," a track originally recorded for the 2018 Yanhdi album Ye never released.

However, Nicki turned him down, and a version of the track without Minaj's verse was played at the listening party.

Nicki told her fans she denied the request because she didn't want it to take momentum away from her Pink Friday album.

"That train has left the station," she said of the verse.  "No disrespect in any way.  I just put out a brand-new album.  Now why would a put a song that has been out for three years?"
