Kim Kardashian has been left distraught as her ex-husband Kanye West drags their 11-year-old daughter North into the Diddy scandal.
On X, West presented a fresh track titled LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE on Saturday, reportedly featuring Diddy, Diddy’s son Christian ‘King’ Combs, and North.
The track kicks off with what appears to be Diddy’s voice expressing gratitude to Kanye for his backing, highlighting that he has received no support from anyone else during his time behind bars awaiting trial on various charges, including sex trafficking.
Kanye reciprocates by referring to Diddy as a paternal figure, a sentiment he held even before their personal acquaintance. North also has a brief yet prominent moment in the song, rapping, ‘When you see me shining, then you see the light,’ as Christian Combs delivers his own verse.
A source exclusively informed DailyMail.com that Kardashian took legal action to prevent the track’s release and is now ‘working to get the song down off of X.’
Shortly before the track was released, West posted – then deleted – screen-grabs allegedly showing a vicious text exchange between him and Kardashian in which he threatened to go ‘to war’ with her.

The supposed conversation makes it appear that Kim holds the copyright to North’s name and was using it to try to prevent the 11-year-old from being included in a track with Diddy – provoking a furious reaction from West.
In the grabs, West texts Kardashian: ‘I’m never speaking with you again,’ along with a snippet of what appeared to be a legal document, including the phrase: ‘participation in this project,’ presumably in reference to the new song.
Kardashian allegedly shoots back: ‘I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name,’ alleging: ‘You said yes,’ and adding: ‘When she’s 18 it goes to her.’
The grabs then show her evidently admonishing West to ‘stop,’ saying: ‘I sent paper work over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song To protect her’.
Kardashian, who is an aspiring lawyer, allegedly continues: ‘One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were born i would get all of our kids names and trademarks So no would else would take them.’
West is seen to be unmoved, purportedly retorting: ‘Amend it or I’m going to war And neither of us will recover from the public fallout,’ then darkly declaring: ‘You’re going to have to kill me.’
In the wake of the song’s release, a source exclusively informed DailyMail.com that Kardashian ‘will do whatever it takes to protect her kids from the hateful speech that Kanye continues to spur at this time.’
The insider added that Kardashian ‘has requested through a judge to not allow the kids to be around that type of behavior.’

According to insiders, North recently spent time in the studio with Kanye—their first visit in weeks—where she recorded vocals for the track, via TMZ.
Kanye allegedly told her that participating in the song would lead to the release of his upcoming Sunday Service.
After learning about the track, sources claim Kardashian sent cease-and-desist letters demanding that Kanye not move forward with its release.
An emergency hearing reportedly took place, which Kanye did not attend, where he allegedly agreed to hold off on dropping the track.
Kardashian is said to be particularly concerned about North’s involvement due to the ongoing legal troubles surrounding Diddy, who is currently facing federal sex trafficking allegations.
Insiders say she has been working behind the scenes to keep North out of the situation.
Shortly before releasing the track, Kanye posted an alleged text conversation with Kim, hinting at a brewing conflict by telling fans, ‘We’re going to war,’ per TMZ.
With the song now out, that battle seems to have officially begun.

The release comes after Kanye revealed he is reviving his gospel choir, Sunday Service, but with a striking new requirement for those who make the cut.
On Thursday, the rapper took to Instagram to announce auditions for male singers in Los Angeles, inviting participants—including children as young as five—to try out for the choir he originally launched in 2019.
However, those selected won’t just be joining the group—they’ll also need to adopt a uniform look.
According to Kanye, while a shaved head isn’t necessary for the audition, it will be mandatory for anyone who officially joins the choir.
