Kanye West has leaked shocking text messages appearing to show a heated row with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian after she learned that their daughter North is featured in his new track with the embattled rapper Diddy.

Currently locked up and facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and engaging in prostitution, Diddy – whose real name is Sean Combs – still makes an appearance on Kanye’s fresh single, ‘Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine’. Additionally, the song features Diddy’s son Christian ‘King’ Combs and North, Kanye and Kim’s 11 year old daughter.

The single starts with what seems to be a recorded telephone conversation between a grateful Diddy, who thanks Kanye for supporting his kids ‘when nobody else has. ‘ Further into the track, young North showcases her rapping talent with lines such as, “When you see me shining, then you see the light”.

Drama ensued when leaked texts, posted then quickly removed by Kanye, spilled the beans on Kim’s raging reaction to her daughter North being part of the tune. The exchange uncovers a fierce clash, with Kanye warning Kim he’d start an irreparable war if she didn’t bend to his will.

In the messages, Kanye tells Kim: ‘I’m never speaking with you again,’ along with an image of what appears to be a legal document that includes the phrase: ‘participation in this project,’ seemingly referencing the Diddy song, reports the Mirror.

Kim argues that only she has the rights to use North West’s name: “I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name. You said “yes”‘, adding: “When she’s 18 it goes to her.”

Kanye then shoots her down, saying, “Amend it or I’m going to war And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.”

He then tells her: “You’re going to have to kill me.”

According to insiders, North recently spent time in the studio with Kanye where she recorded her vocals for the track.

After learning about the track, sources claim Kim sent cease-and-desist letters to Kanye trying to block the release.

The mum is said to have called ‘everyone she could’ to try and stop it, with Kanye sharing the track on his social media on Saturday night.

As part of their divorce settlement, Kim and Kanye share joint legal and physical custody of their four children, with Kim being the primary caregiver. Kanye was called to pay $200,000 per month in child support.

This week, it was revealed that Kanye West might require children as young as five to shave their heads for his Sunday Service choir.

The 47-year-old rapper is holding auditions for the return of his gospel choir, which he first launched in 2019.

He’s seeking male singers aged five and up, but those chosen must fit a specific look. On Instagram this week, he posted: “Sunday service the next frontier is recruiting male choir members. Those selected are required to shave their heads. Shaved heads are not required to audition.

“The audition location is in Los Angeles and will be given upon RSVP. Open auditions will be held on Thursday, March 13, at 4 PM. Auditions are open to ages five and up.”

The gospel choir was initially recognised as a 501(c)(3) organisation, classified as a “religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, or prevention of cruelty to children or animals organisations”.
