Kanye West has released a new song appearing to feature Diddy, Diddy's son Christian 'King' Combs, and West’s own daughter North—despite reports that Kim Kardashian tried to stop it from coming out.
The track called LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE made its debut on West’s X account on Saturday.
The song opens with what sounds like Diddy’s voice thanking Kanye for his support, mentioning that no one else has reached out to him while he remains in jail awaiting trial.
Kanye responds by calling Diddy a father figure, even before they knew each other personally.
North seemingly makes a brief but noticeable appearance, rapping, 'When you see me shining, then you see the light,' while Christian Combs delivers his own verse.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that Kardashian took legal action to prevent the song’s release.

The track called LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE made its debut on West’s X account on Saturday.
According to insiders, North recently spent time in the studio with Kanye—their first visit in weeks—where she recorded vocals for the track.
Kanye allegedly told her that participating in the song would lead to the release of his upcoming Sunday Service.
After learning about the track, sources claim Kardashian sent cease-and-desist letters demanding that Kanye not move forward with its release, per TMZ.
An emergency hearing reportedly took place, which Kanye did not attend, where he allegedly agreed to hold off on dropping the track.
Kardashian is said to be particularly concerned about North’s involvement due to the ongoing legal troubles surrounding Diddy, who is currently facing federal sex trafficking allegations.
Insiders say she has been working behind the scenes to keep North out of the situation.
Shortly before releasing the track, Kanye posted an alleged text conversation with Kim, hinting at a brewing conflict by telling fans, 'We’re going to war,' per TMZ.
With the song now out, that battle seems to have officially begun.

The release comes after Kanye revealed he is reviving his gospel choir, Sunday Service, but with a striking new requirement for those who make the cut.
On Thursday, the rapper took to Instagram to announce auditions for male singers in Los Angeles, inviting participants—including children as young as five—to try out for the choir he originally launched in 2019.
However, those selected won’t just be joining the group—they’ll also need to adopt a uniform look.
According to Kanye, while a shaved head isn’t necessary for the audition, it will be mandatory for anyone who officially joins the choir.
