Kanye West took to X on Saturday to reveal two new songs, including one, “Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine,” featuring contributions from Diddy; North West, West’s eldest daughter with Kim Kardashian; and King Combs, Diddy’s son.
TMZ reports that when Kardashian learned of the song’s existence, she sent out cease and desist letters, resulting in an emergency hearing with a mediator and a judge. TMZ’s sources claim that Kanye promised not to release the song.
The song opens with a message from what sounds like Diddy telling West that he appreciates West taking care of his children and reaching out, because nobody has called him or reached out. West responds by telling Diddy, “Absolutely, I love you so much man, you raised me, even when I didn’t know you.” North can be heard later on in the song rapping the bridge, including, “Doing everything I wanted / That’s the key to life /When you see me shining / Then you see the light.”
TMZ also shared screenshots of a now-deleted Kanye tweet showing a conversation between the rapper and Kardashian which, while it appeared to be about North’s appearance on the song, seemed to focus almost entirely on trademarks. West responded by telling Kardashian, “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.”
West followed the two songs, the second of which is appropriately called “World War 3,″ up with posts revealing his new album cover—a red swastika on a black background—and a new logo for his Sunday Service: the Schutzstaffel (SS) logo.
West is currently dealing with divorce rumors surrounding his marriage to second wife Bianca Censori, who he married in 2022. Amidst speculation, he was recently spotted with a Censori look-alike in Los Angeles, just one month after the couple’s controversial stunt that saw West’s wife walk the Grammy Awards red carpet while nearly naked.
