Kanye West has once again made headlines with the release of his latest song, “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” featuring none other than his 11-year-old daughter North West and hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The song, released on March 15, 2025, has already sparked a heated controversy, with Kim Kardashian reportedly attempting to block its release.
The Song That Started a Firestorm
The song opens with a phone conversation between Kanye West and Diddy, before North jumps in with a short but impactful verse, rapping, “When you see me shining, then you see the light.” While the collaboration between West and Diddy isn’t surprising, North’s involvement has led to an explosive reaction, particularly from her mother.
According to sources, Kim Kardashian was blindsided by the release and has taken legal action to prevent North from being featured in West’s music. Kardashian, who has previously expressed concerns about their children being in the public eye, allegedly sent cease-and-desist orders to prevent the song from dropping, but West ignored the warnings and released it anyway.
Kanye vs. Kim: The Battle Over North’s Public Presence
This isn’t the first time West and Kardashian have clashed over parenting decisions. Kardashian has consistently voiced her disapproval of North’s increasing visibility in the entertainment world, while West argues that his daughter should be free to express herself artistically. The latest song has reignited their long-standing feud, with insiders revealing that Kardashian is furious about the situation.
Adding fuel to the fire, West took to social media, claiming that he will “go to war” over his right to include North in his creative projects. This statement has only escalated tensions, with Kardashian reportedly seeking further legal intervention to prevent future releases featuring their daughter.
Diddy’s Role in the Controversy
Diddy, who has collaborated with West numerous times in the past, hasn’t publicly addressed the controversy. However, insiders suggest that his involvement was purely musical, and he wasn’t aware of any legal battles surrounding North’s inclusion. His son, King Combs, and singer Jasmine Williams also contributed to the track, making it a high-profile collaboration.
With the song already released, the legal battle between Kanye West and Kardashian is expected to intensify. Some industry experts believe Kardashian may push for a court order preventing West from involving North in any future projects, while others think this could be a calculated PR move by West to generate buzz for his music.
Meanwhile, fans remain divided. Some are praising the song and North’s contribution, while others criticize West for allegedly using his daughter as a pawn in his public disputes. Regardless of the outcome, this latest drama ensures that the West-Kardashian saga remains in the spotlight.
