The audio of a recorded phone call between Kanye West and Sean ‘Diddy’ has gone viral amid Kanye’s ongoing battle with Kim Kardashian over their daughter’s involvement in a track that features Diddy.
Their latest row began when the rapper, 47, released a new track titled Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine, which he says is a collaboration between Diddy, King Combs, North West, and Jasmine Williams.
TMZ reported that the track was nearly axed because Kim, 44, did not want their 11-year-old daughter to feature in the song.
Kanye has since shared text messages allegedly between the pair discussing North’s involvement with the track.
Now, in the wake of the latest controversy, the Shade Room has released exclusive audio of a conversation between the two disgraced rap icons, earning tons of reactions online.
X user @nintindoe wrote: ‘What an embarrassment!’ while @__smokkahontas agreed: ‘Taking calls from diddy knowing his allegations is crazy!’
At the beginning of the call, Diddy was seemingly trying to comfort and encourage Kanye, saying: ‘When I get out there, man, I want to see you f****g tear down the stadiums. I need to see you back on that stage, f*****g actually rapping and f*****g performing and everything. I be dreaming of that s**t.’
Diddy continued: ‘Tell you real from the front line. This sh**t is wicked, wicked, wicked, so you be careful.’
‘You can’t do nothing for just… I need you out there, you hear me?’
Kanye replied: ‘I hear you, yes, sir.’
Diddy continued to attempt to uplift the controversial rapper, saying: ‘And have some f*****g fun. Get behind the mic, have some fun. Chop up them samples, get back on your hit man vibe. Have some fun, get back to smiling,’ he advised.
‘F**k these other motherf*****s. They are wasting your time. Wasting your motherf*****g time.’
He added, ‘So, put that love in your heart, man, and enjoy yourself.’
Kanye said in response: ‘Yeah, it’s time for me just to grab the mic and get back on. I love, I love music again. It was a time where everything was so frustrating. I can’t explain it.’
Diddy responded: ‘Jump into your bag. We gonna have years and decades to fight these motherf*****s. Right now, enjoy your life.’
‘This is coming from me, from God to you. Enjoy your life. Fall back in love like when you was making the beats in the Chi… just chop them s**t up, bring that SD1200 out.’
‘Have a good time and say “f**k the world and all the bulls**t”, man.’
Diddy continued his monologue: ‘I love you man, I appreciate you. And thanks again. I’m gonna see you soon, man.’
Kanye replied: ‘Yes, sir. That’s how it’s gonna be. You gonna definitely beat this s**t. And that’s it.’
Diddy then discussed his upcoming trial briefly, asking Kanye to support him through positive energy, saying he’ll be ‘touching in to tap into your energy or something. Play me some s**t over the phone. Give me some f*****g life.’
He spoke of his ongoing legal troubles, complaining: ‘This s**t is f*****g sad. I’m Puff Daddy in jail. This s**t is f*****g sad as a motherf****r.’
‘The devil is a liar,’ Diddy added.
He then told Kanye to ‘keep doing everything you’re doing,’ adding ‘you got that f*****g freedom.’
‘When I get out and I get that f*****g freedom, woo. I am not caring about nothing but motherf*****g being happy. And I want you to feel that.’
Diddy then thanked Kanye for taking his children under his wing and supporting them as their father awaits trial in jail.
Diddy also issued a warning to Kanye to ‘be careful’ adding ‘they definitely trying to end us.’
‘I’m gonna beat this s**t and get next to you,’ he added.
He then, perhaps most shockingly, said of his time behind bars: ‘It’s like being left for dead. And only one person coming to do anything to get you. That’s the level of appreciation that I have for you.’
Kanye then told Diddy he ‘looks up to’ the relationship Diddy has with his kids.
The bombshell recording comes days after Kanye – who has four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian – has accused his former partner and her family of limiting his access to the kids.
In a series of posts on X, he wrote: ‘Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away and have tried to put me in jail and IT’S STUCK …
‘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 whether my daughters wear lipstick and perfume …
‘All these rights have been taken away from my by the Kardashian mob, Hulu and DIsney and the biggest agenda to use the selectively bred Black children to be platforms to influence Black people.’
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 …’
Kim and Kanye were married between 2014 and 2022 and are also parents to Saint, nine, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.
Kanye’s latest rant came after he threatened to ‘go to war’ with Kim after she seemingly objected to North’s voice being featured on the song.
In the original X post announcing the song, Kanye wrote: ‘LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE new song by PUFF DADDY feat. His son KING COMBS my daughter NORTH WEST and new Yeezy artist from Chicago Jasmine Williams.’
It is thought that North can be heard on the track saying: ‘When you see me shining, then you see the light,’ along with a select few other lines.
The outlet reported that Kim sent letters demanding a ‘cease and desist,’ and an emergency hearing was held – which Kanye did not join.
Sources added that Kim didn’t want ‘North involved in her dad’s recent behaviour’ or involved in ‘any of the drama surrounding Diddy.’
‘She’s called everyone she could to keep this song from coming out.’
Ahead of releasing the song, Kanye shared images of text exchanges supposedly with Kim on social media which suggest the pair argued about the use of North’s name.
One message which appeared to be from Kim read: ‘I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name and 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.’
To this Kanye appeared to reply: ‘Amend it or I’m going to war.
‘And neither of us with recover from the public fallout.
‘You’re going to have to kill me.’
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York and is going to trial for racketeering and sex trafficking.
