In an unexpected musical collaboration, Kanye West has launched an album with King Combs, son of the famous Diddy. What’s more interesting is that the album, titled Never Stop, also features a track with Kanye’s daughter North. The album is available on all streaming platforms now, ensuring fans can tune in to the entire creative endeavor.
The song ‘Diddy Free’ has drawn attention for its recurring lyric, “N-ggas ain’t goin’ to sleep ’til we see Diddy free.” This lyric underlines Kanye’s outspoken support for Diddy, who is facing legal battles including accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Despite the project’s unexpected release, Kanye and King Combs working together hasn’t come as a complete surprise to insiders who had speculated about this collaboration. Kanye’s open endorsements of Diddy’s release have been profuse, adding another layer to the album’s themes.
Breaking from typical artist collaboration news, Kanye West’s reactions to Diddy’s legal issues have stirred the pot. When Kid Cudi, a former signee of Kanye’s GOOD Music label, testified against Diddy, Kanye expressed his disappointment and broke his silence on social media in defense of Diddy.
Taking to the platform X, Kanye wrote: “I wish Cudi hadn’t testified against Puff,” and further elaborated, “We need to not be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family.” It’s clear Kanye is siding with Diddy, even discussing controversial events involving Cassie, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend.
Further sparking controversy, Kanye questioned whether Cassie was attempting to extort Diddy with her allegations, and even downplayed a leaked incident of Diddy’s assault on her. Kanye spun the assault, suggesting on social media it was merely an expression of ‘true love.’
Adding fuel to the fire, Kanye began selling a hoodie Cassie wore during an incident involving Diddy, allegedly making over $30,000 from its sales. His actions stirred backlash, with many labeling him as “evil.” Yet, his defense of Diddy continues undeterred, casting a shadow over the album release.
Kanye’s latest album release is as much about music as it is about his unyielding support for Diddy amid controversy.
