Ye Reveals New Track Allegedly Featuring Diddy & Daughter North West
In his post, Ye captioned, "LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE new song by PUFF DADDY feat. His son KING COMBS, my daughter NORTH WEST, and new Yeezy artist from Chicago, Jasmine Williams."
Diddy’s Alleged Participation and Opening Dialogue
The nearly five-minute track begins with what seems to be a phone conversation between Ye and Diddy. The latter, currently incarcerated and facing severe legal charges, appears to express gratitude towards Ye.
“I just want to thank you so much for taking care of my kids, man,” a voice, allegedly Diddy’s, states. “Ain’t nobody reach out to them, ain’t nobody call them.” Ye responds emotionally, saying, “Absolutely, I love you so much, man. You raised me. Even when I ain’t know you, know what I’m saying?”
North West’s Verse in the Track
North West, Ye’s 11-year-old daughter, is also featured on the song. She delivers a brief rap, stating, “Doing everything I wanted, that’s the key to life/ When you see me shining, then you see the light.”
Kim Kardashian’s Alleged Attempt to Block the Release
Before the track’s release, Ye reportedly shared now-deleted text messages between himself and Kim Kardashian on X. According to TMZ, Kardashian attempted to prevent the song’s release by citing trademark rights over their daughter’s name. “I asked you at the time if I could trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop,” Kardashian allegedly wrote. “I sent paperwork so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her. One person has to trademark!”
She added, “We agreed when they were both little that I would get all our kids' names and trademarks so no one else would take them.” In response, Ye reportedly threatened, “Amend it or I’m going to war, and neither of us will recover from the public fallout. You’re going to have to kill me.”
Ye’s Public Support for Diddy Amid Legal Troubles
Despite mounting backlash for his past controversial statements, Ye has supported Diddy. In February, he publicly urged former U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in Diddy’s case. “Free Puff,” Ye wrote on X, later tagging Trump with the plea, “@realDonaldTrump please free my brother Puff.”
Diddy is being held on remand without bail since his arrest in September. He was charged in New York with federal offenses, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and the transport of persons for prostitution. It is claimed that he ran an organized crime syndicate whereby he lured and coerced persons to satisfy his unlawful needs and wants.
A Controversial Album Cover Sparks Outrage
Alongside the song’s release, Kanye West posted an image on X, which he claimed to be the cover for his forthcoming album. The image depicts a red Nazi swastika against a black background, igniting further controversy. Although Ye had initially teased his upcoming Bully project at the beginning of 2025, it remains uncertain if or when the album will be officially released.
