Kanye West, Kim Kardashian feud as he drops new song featuring daughter North, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s tumultuous post-divorce relationship has taken another dramatic turn—this time over their 11-year-old daughter, North West, being featured in Ye’s latest song. The track, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine”, includes vocals from North alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs and his son Christian “King” Combs.
But what should have been a musical collaboration between father and daughter has now escalated into a full-blown legal and personal battle, with Kardashian attempting to block the song’s release and Ye vowing to “go to war.”

Kardashian responded, “I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18, it goes to her. So stop.”
“I sent paperwork over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her,” she continued, adding, “One person has to trademark!”
The “Kardashians” star then appeared to remind the rapper of an agreement they made that she would trademark all of their children’s names so “no one else would take them.”
“Amend it or I’m going to war,” Kanye responded. “And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.”
“You’re going to have to kill me,” he closed.

“Amend it or I’m going to war,” Ye said. “And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.”
Sources familiar with the situation reportedly corroborated Kardashian’s claim that she sent paperwork to the Yeezy designer, 47.
They told the outlet that Kardashian, 44, sent letters demanding a cease and desist and even went so far as to have an emergency mediation with a mediator and a judge, but the insiders said Kanye did not join. However, he did allegedly promise to not release the song.
The sources said Kardashian doesn’t want her daughter involved in Ye’s latest controversial moves, nor does she want North’s name tied to the disgraced music mogul’s legal problems.

The song reportedly came about after North went to the studio with her father — reportedly marking the first time the dad of four had seen any of his children in weeks — where she recorded vocals that the producer then put on the song with Diddy.
He allegedly told his daughter, 11, he would release the single at his upcoming Sunday Service.
