Ye seemingly releases new song featuring Diddy and daughter North West, reports say

Despite his ongoing legal troubles, Sean "Diddy" Combs still has a musical brother in Ye.

The controversial Grammy-winning rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, seemingly released a new collaboration with the embattled hip-hop mogul in a since-deleted post on X Saturday, according to People magazine and Billboard.

The track, titled "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine," also featured vocals from Ye's daughter North West, Combs' son Christian "King" Combs and Yeezy artist Jasmine Williams, People and Billboard reported.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Ye and Combs for comment.

The song's release came a day after a pretrial conference was held for Combs' upcoming federal sex crimes trial in New York. The Bad Boy Records founder, who has been accused of sexual abuse in over a dozen lawsuits, is facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The nearly five-minute track opens with a voice recording of a phone conversation between Ye and Combs, per People and Billboard. Combs is currently in custody at the Special Housing Unit in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center ahead of his May 5 trial.

"I want to just thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man," Combs says in the recording, the outlets reported. Ye replies, "Absolutely, I love you so much, man. You raised me. Even when I ain't know you, know what I'm saying?"

North West, who is gearing up for her own musical career, can reportedly be heard rapping, "When you see me shining, then you see the light." Ye shares West with ex-wife and media mogul Kim Kardashian.

This isn't the first time Ye and Combs have shared the mic. The hip-hop heavyweights were both featured on the Ty Dolla Sign track "Guard Down," taken from Sign's 2015 debut album "Free TC."

Ye also came to Combs' defense last month in a pair of X posts, in which he asked President Donald Trump to release Combs from custody, according to Billboard and Deadline. "@realDonaldTrump please free my brother Puff," Ye wrote, referring to Combs' former alias.
