Kanye West has allegedly threatened to go 'to war' over the trademark placed on his daughter North West's name by her mom Kim Kardashian, according to TMZ.
Yesterday (March 15), the 47-year-old teased his latest song on Twitter, titled 'LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE', which appears to feature disgraced rapper Diddy, real name Sean Combs, his 26-year-old son Christian 'King' Combs, and 11-year-old North.
In the intro to the song West can be heard speaking to what sounds like Combs, saying how he 'loves' him.
In the track, a voice which sounds like Diddy via phone call says: "I wanna just thank you so much for just taking care of my kids, man."

He added: “Ain't nobody reach out to them, ain't nobody call them."
West is then heard responding: "Absolutely, I love you so much man. You raised me. Even when I ain't know you, know what I'm saying?"
Combs is currently serving time behind bars as he awaits his trial, which is due to take place on May 5, after he was indicted by a grand jury following his arrest at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan back in September.
He has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - charges he's continued to deny.
TMZ reports that 44-year-old Kardashian took legal action to try and prevent the song from being released in attempts to not drag North into Combs' scandal.
Before West posted the song on Twitter, a source told DailyMail.com that Kardashian, who is an aspiring lawyer, 'will do whatever it takes to protect her kids from the hateful speech that Kanye continues to spur at this time'.
West has repeatedly made antisemitic remarks and even went so far as to sell swastika clothing on his fashion label Yeezy's website shortly after paying millions for a Super Bowl commercial.
Taking to Twitter, Ye is said to have elected to post a screengrab of what he claims are his and Kardashian's private messages, captioning it: "This first screen grab shows that I'm not playing."
"I'm never speaking with you again," West messaged his ex-wife, alongside a screenshot of some sort.
Kardashian replied: "l asked u at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she's 18 it goes to her.
"So stop. I sent paper work 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."
West responded with: "Amend it or I'm going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fallout."
"You're going to have to kill me."
