Kanye West and Kim Kardashian maintain their ongoing differences regarding his latest song which includes North West as a featured performer.
The dispute erupted after West released his new track, LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE, featuring embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, his son Christian “King” Combs, and 11-year-old North West.
The song begins with a recorded phone conversation where Diddy expresses gratitude to West, saying, “I wanna just thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man.”
West declares his love for him when he gives his response: “Absolutely, I love you so much man.” You raised me. Even when I ain’t know you, know what I’m saying?”
The song provoked immediate criticism when sources revealed Kardashian made efforts to keep North from appearing in it.
Sources indicate Kardashian moved to protect her daughter North by disassociating her from Diddy because of the serious legal troubles he faces.
Current jail time during his trial period concerns s*x trafficking and racketeering offenses that Combs denies.
During the time when Diddy faced criminal accusations the reports state that Kardashian made specific efforts to shield North from getting involved.
Official records show that Kardashian pursued trademark protection for North’s name because sources claim she tried to stop West from using it in his work.
Although Kardashian made an attempt to stop him West decided to proceed with the song which worsened the conflict between them.
A major breakthrough developed when West publicly released private conversation snippets purportedly from his communication with Kardashian to reveal current disputes between them.
In one of her messages Kardashian stated to West that she requested permission to trademark her name from him during their original conversation. You said yes. When she’s 18 it goes to her. So stop. The paperwork I sent showed the songwriters she would not appear in the Diddy track. To protect her.”
West, in response, issued a bold ultimatum: “Amend it or I’m going to war. Public reactions to this dispute will prove fatal to both parties.
Fans along with experts have generated broad opinions about how Kardashian and West should deal with parenting their child together.
Reality star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel encouraged Kardashian to communicate with West via other people in an effort to prevent face-to-face clashes.
According to Frankel it would be wiser for Kardashian to work on obtaining legal decision-making powers for her kids instead of using public arguments with West.
West has increased the controversy by releasing statements that address his legal authority to decide about his children.
He recently declared that men should have the “final say” in matters involving their kids, sparking further debate online.
Several critics interpret his conduct as a way to dominate Kardashian’s life although they officially separated.
Sources indicate that Kardashian maintains hidden action to reduce North’s musical involvement with her father West.
Lawyers representing Kardashian examine potential ways to fight back against West’s utilization of their daughter’s name and audio in his musical release.
West continues to show resistance towards legal interference by standing firm in his choice to involve North in his artistic endeavors.
He states that his daughter has a basic right to participate in his artistic work while refusing to pay attention to possible negative consequences.
The public dispute demonstrates how parents who are public figures must compete for control over the media image of their children.
