The brand-new song that Kanye West, now known as Ye, has been released, which seems to feature his daughter North West and embattled rapper Diddy.

The 47-year-old rapper released the song Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine on his X account on Saturday, March 15.

“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,” Kanye posted on X.

It begins with what sounds like a phone call between Ye and Diddy, who is presently in jail and facing several accusations, including sex trafficking. The song is almost five minutes long.

A voice that sounds to be Diddy adds, “I just want to thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man.” “Hasn’t anyone called them or reached out to them?” Ye responds, “Yes, man, I adore you so much. I was reared by you. Know what I mean, even if I don’t know you?

North, West’s 11-year-old daughter, also makes an appearance on the song, rapping, “When you see me shining, then you see the light/ Doing everything I wanted, that’s the key to life.”

West posted now-deleted screenshots of text messages he exchanged with Kim Kardashian, North’s mother, on X before to the release of Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine.

Kardashian allegedly tried to stop the song’s release by telling her ex-husband in the messages that she had registered their daughter’s name.

At the time, I inquired whether I could trademark her name. Yes, you replied. It belongs to her when she turns 18. According to reports, Kardashian wrote, “So stop.” To safeguard her, I submitted documents to ensure she wouldn’t appear in the Diddy song. A single individual must trademark! “We agreed that when they were both, I would get all of our kids names and trademarks so no one else would take them,” the reality TV star continued.

“Amend it or I’m going to war, and neither of us will recover from the public fallout,” the rapper retorted. I’ll have to be killed by you.

Ye, who has lately supported Diddy, has been under fire for his hateful, antisemitic outbursts on social media in recent months. West demanded in February that President Donald Trump release the embittered hip-hop mogul. Ye typed “Free Puff” in all caps on X and then added, “@realDonaldTrump, please free my brother Puff.”

Currently awaiting a federal trial in New York on allegations of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to participate in prostitution, Diddy was arrested in September and remains in custody without bail. He “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill sexual desires,” according to the prosecution, who claim he planned a complex conspiracy.
