On June 11, 2019, Nas shared a promotional video via his Instagram account, announcing the release of The Lost Tapes 2 in the near future. Ocean still received songwriting credit for the track.
The track was reworked as "Royalty" featuring RaVaughn. In 2012, American singer Frank Ocean and producer Hit-Boy created a track entitled "No Such Thing As White Jesus" that went unreleased.
After losing time to the project's delay, Nas began recording for a new studio album and put plans for The Lost Tapes 2 on hold. Reports of the project's delay incited fans to create an online petition in December asking for Def Jam to release the album. However, its release was further delayed by Def Jam, whom Nas accused of mishandling the project and its budget in a personal e-mail sent to label executives. That's all it takes." In September, he announced plans to release The Lost Tapes 2 on December 14. So I've just got to set it up, put them together – 12 songs for one album, 12 songs for another album, and figure it out. So I've got enough actually, for a Lost Tapes 2 and 3 by now. In a June 2010 interview for Hot 97.5 KVEG, he said of following-up The Lost Tapes, "I do got a lot of songs that really didn't make no album, that's just sittin' around got lost. However, its release was delayed, and in 2006, Nas signed to Def Jam Recordings. A follow-up compilation, The Lost Tapes 2, was originally intended to be released on December 16, 2003, and include unreleased recordings, remixes, and freestyle tracks. In 2002, Nas released The Lost Tapes, compiling previously unreleased tracks that were discarded from recording sessions for Nas' studio albums, I Am.
