Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Diddy‘s son King Combs have dropped a surprise EP titled Never Stop.
The embattled rapper and Puff’s son released the project on streaming services at midnight Friday (June 27). Ye served as executive producer, and North West — his eldest daughter with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — is featured on the song “Lonely Roads.” Another track worth noting is “Diddy Free,” which includes the chorus, “N—as ain’t goin to sleep ’till we see Diddy free.”
The release makes sense, considering Ye has been one of Diddy’s most high-profile defenders throughout the latter’s federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, which is in the midst of closing arguments this week. Ye pulled up to Puff’s trial in Manhattan earlier this month. The rapper — who has been facing criticism over his repeated hate speech the last few years — told one journalist that he had come to show support for the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder.

Sean Combs has been on trial since May, facing allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. Federal prosecutors have accused him of managing an elaborate criminal ring aimed at facilitating his alleged freak-offs — drug-fueled events wherein he allegedly coerced women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, to have sex with others. His legal team has denied all of the charges, with Combs’ attorney Teny Geragos claiming in opening statements: “Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case. We take full responsibility that there was domestic violence. Domestic violence is not sex trafficking.”
Diddy’s family has remained firmly in support of him, with his daughters attending his trial on Thursday (June 26).
