West continues to stand by embattled mogul Diddy amid legal turmoil
Kanye West has once again shocked fans — this time with the surprise release of a collaborative album with King Combs, son of music mogul Diddy. The project, titled Never Stop, is executive produced by West and is now available on all major streaming platforms.
The album opens with a guest appearance from Kanye’s daughter North West, marking her latest foray into music. One of the most talked-about tracks is “Diddy Free,” a defiant anthem featuring the line:
“N-ggas ain’t goin’ to sleep ’til we see Diddy free,”
— a refrain repeated throughout the song, signaling West and King Combs’ continued support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder.
Though Never Stop had been rumored for months, neither West nor Combs heavily promoted it ahead of release, and Diddy himself has yet to comment.
Kanye West has remained one of Diddy’s most vocal defenders since allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking surfaced in 2023. In May, West publicly criticized former collaborator Kid Cudi for testifying against Diddy in court, writing on X:
“I wish Cudi hadn’t testified against Puff… We need to not be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family.”
West has also questioned the legitimacy of accusations made by Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, suggesting they were part of an extortion attempt.
With Never Stop, West appears to be doubling down on his loyalty to Diddy — and further cementing his reputation as one of music’s most polarizing and unpredictable figures.
