Kanye West, now famously known as Ye, has unveiled a new track titled "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine," featuring Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ye's daughter, North West. The song was released on March 15, through Ye's account on X. It was deleted soon after.
The nearly four-minute track begins with what sounds like a phone conversation between Ye and Diddy, who is currently in custody facing a range of legal issues, including charges related to sex trafficking. In the conversation, a voice that sounds like Diddy's shares gratitude to Ye for looking after his children. Ye reciprocates, saying Diddy raised him.
Hear the track below.
A voice, seemingly Diddy's says, “I just want to thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man. Ain’t nobody reach out to them, ain’t nobody call them.” Ye then replies, “Absolutely, I love you so much, man. You raised me. Even when I ain’t know you, know what I’m saying?” Diddy responds, saying "I feel the love, man."
North West, who is 11 years old, also appears on the track, singing lyrics like, “Doing everything I wanted, that’s the key to life/ When you see me shining, then you see the light.”
Before to the song's release, Ye shared screenshots of text exchanges with North’s mother, Kim Kardashian, where she indicated that she had trademarked their daughter's name to prevent the song's distribution.
Kardashian reportedly said:
“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. One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were both i would get all of our kids names and trademarks so no one else would take them.”
Ye responded, “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.”
Ye’s support for Diddy has surfaced in recent months, most notably when he recently urged President Donald Trump to advocate for Diddy’s release from custody. Diddy has been in jail awaiting trial for serious criminal charges, which include accusations of orchestrating a scheme involving coercion and abuse.
Alongside the track release, Ye also posted an image purported to be the cover art for his forthcoming album. The artwork features a swastika set against a black background. Speculation remains around the timing and nature of the album, as Ye has alluded to its release without confirming any specifics yet.
He also just put out a casting call looking for fit males with dark skin complexion and shaved heads who are "comfortable wearing swastikas" to show up in Los Angeles for a casting call.
