Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have reportedly had an argument after the rapper featured their daughter North West’s vocals in Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine, his newly released track. The song also has Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the disgraced US rapper facing multiple lawsuits, and his son Christian ‘King’ Combs.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the song starts with a recording of a phone conversation between Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Kanye West. “I wanna just thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man,” a voice believed to be Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs can be heard saying. “Ain’t nobody reach out to them, ain’t nobody call them.” Kanye West responds, “Absolutely, I love you so much, man. You raised me. Even when I ain’t know you, know what I’m saying?”
North appears to rap, “Doing everything I wanted, that’s the key to life / When you see me shining, then you see the light.” Kanye West shared screenshots of a text conversation between himself and North's mother, Kim Kardashian, which have since been deleted from the rapper's X account. In the text exchange, Kim Kardashian allegedly told Kanye West that she trademarked their 11-year-old daughter's name in an attempt to stop Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine from being released to the public.
Reports say, Kim Kardashian is upset for Kanye West featuring their daughter’s name in a track that involves Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently in jail, facing charges on sex trafficking, assault and racketeering. According to reports, Kim Kardashian attempted to set up an mediation with Kanye West and a judge but the latter didn’t show up.
Prosecutors accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of forcing women to take part in “highly orchestrated performances” that he called “freak-offs.” These “freak-offs” allegedly involved male sex workers, and prosecutors claim that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arranged for women and sex workers to be flown to his location.
