Inside Kanye and Kim’s explosive row as he lets daughter North sing with P Diddy and reason behind her bombshell claim
IT was bad enough that Kanye West produced a song featuring disgraced rapper Diddy from inside prison.
But once his ex-wife Kim Kardashian learned their 11-year-old daughter North West also appears on the track all bets were off.

Bombshell texts between the former couple — leaked by Kanye, 47, on X at the weekend then swiftly deleted — have exposed just how toxic their relationship has become.
The rapper chillingly told his ex he was prepared to “go to war” with the “Kardashian mob” and that they would have “to kill” him.
On Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine — which also features Diddy’s son Christian “King”, 26 — North can be heard rapping, “When you see me shining, then you see the light.”
Sean Combs is in prison in the US, facing a litany of sex crime offences, including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Insiders claim Kim, 44, was “horrified” over her daughter’s involvement with the track and had tried to block its release on Saturday.
The SKIMS founder is reported to have sent cease-and-desist letters to Kanye, who she divorced in 2022 and with whom she shares three more children — Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, five.
An emergency hearing reportedly took place, where Kanye — who didn’t attend proceedings — initially agreed to delay its release.
But after learning Kim holds the sole ownership of the North West trademark and was attempting to stop their daughter featuring on his music, Kanye took to X to air his grievances.
He shared a screenshot of his alleged conversation with Kim, including a picture of the legal paperwork.
According to Kanye’s posts, he furiously wrote to Kim: “I’m never speaking with you again”.

Explaining that she was trying to “protect” North from being associated with Diddy, Kim is alleged to have responded: “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 born I would get all of our kids names and trademarks so no one else would take them.”
Kanye appears to have hit back: “Amend it or I’m going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.”
Chillingly, he added: “You’re going to have to kill me.”
The trend of celebrities trademarking their names and their children’s is nothing new. It prevents unauthorised use of their name and image, essentially stopping other people from cashing in on their brand.
After posting and deleting the heated exchange, Kanye claimed he does not have a say in his children’s upbringing.
He wrote: “I don’t want to just ‘see’ my kids, I need to raise them.
“I need to have say so of where they go to school and who their friends are and whose houses they sleep over and whether my daughters wear lipstick and perfume.

“All these rights have been taken from me by the Kardashian mob, Hulu and Disney [the production companies behind the reality series The Kardashians] and the biggest agenda to use the selectively bred black children to be platforms to influence black people.”
He went on to compare his limited access to his kids to being in jail.
He added: “Just seeing my kids is like visitation . . . it’s like I’m in prison ‘seeing’ my kids.
“I don’t care if I live or die or if I’m in jail or free.”
Kanye, whose X account was temporarily deactivated in February after he posted vile anti-semitic messages, added: “And I especially don’t care about whatever these p*y a celebrities got to say that are slaves to the Jews.”
