Los Angeles, CA – Kanye West recently released a controversial song featuring his daughter North West, despite objections from Kim Kardashian. The track, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” was shared on X on March 15, where West credited it to “Puff Daddy.” The song includes a phone conversation between West and Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing federal sex-crimes charges. In the conversation, Diddy expresses gratitude to West for taking care of his children.
North West contributes a brief verse to the song, repeating the line, “When you see me shinin’, then you see the light.” Prior to releasing the song, West posted screenshots of texts with Kardashian discussing their daughter and the trademarking process for her name. Kardashian expressed concerns about North’s involvement in the song and tried to prevent it by sending legal paperwork. West responded by threatening to escalate the situation if the song was not amended.
Following Kardashian’s efforts to stop the song’s release, West ultimately deleted both the track and the text screenshot. Reports from TMZ suggest that Kardashian had issued a cease and desist order regarding the song, which West initially refused to comply with. Kardashian has yet to publicly address the song or West’s actions on X.
The controversy surrounding the song highlights tensions between West and Kardashian regarding their daughter’s involvement in West’s projects. Despite the disagreements, the incident sheds light on the complexities of co-parenting and navigating personal boundaries within high-profile relationships in the entertainment industry.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how West and Kardashian will address the aftermath of the song’s release and the subsequent backlash. The incident underscores the challenges of balancing personal and professional dynamics in the public eye, particularly when it comes to family matters and artistic expression.
