As Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial moves toward its end, his son Christian "King" Combs has released a new EP titled Never Stop on Friday. The project includes a song called "Diddy Free," which appears to support his father during his legal troubles, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The EP is a collaboration with rapper and producer Kanye West . His daughter, North West, is listed as a featured artist on the opening track "Lonely Roads." The EP dropped just before Diddy's lawyer gave closing arguments in court on Friday morning. Lead attorney Marc Agnifilo called the trial a "fake trial." According to the publication, Kanye West, who has stayed in the spotlight in 2025 for his controversial comments on social media, has publicly supported Diddy. He also appeared at the New York courtroom earlier this month. Sean Combs is facing serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. He has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison if convicted. Earlier this week, Combs chose not to testify in his defense. On Thursday, federal prosecutors made their closing arguments, which lasted more than four hours. "All of this evidence paints a clear picture of how the defendant committed crimes," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik. "Up until today, he was able to get away with it because of his money, his power (and) his influence. That stops now. It's time for justice. It's time to find the defendant guilty."

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now ' The release coincided with the day Diddy's legal team was scheduled to deliver its closing arguments, marking a bold musical statement from the younger Combs in collaboration with Kanye West. 'Diddy Free' opens with the line, 'n***as ain't going to sleep till we see Diddy free.' The track, credited to King Combs and Ye (formerly Kanye West), features pointed lyrics criticizing those who "try to play the victim" and boldly declares, "f*** the world, critics and the witness." In one verse, 27-year-old King Combs raps, 'this Bible might come in handy / this rifle might come in handy,' while the chorus pledges to stay awake and vigilant ''til we see Diddy free.' North West, daughter of Ye, is also credited as a featured artist on the EP's opening track, 'Lonely Roads.' During the closing arguments on Friday morning, lead attorney Marc Agnifilo denounced the case as a 'fake trial.' A demo version of the track by Ye, without King Combs, had surfaced online last month. Ye, who has faced widespread backlash and isolation in the music industry due to his ongoing antisemitic remarks, has been one of the few high-profile celebrities to publicly support Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Earlier this month, Ye made a brief appearance at the Manhattan courthouse where the trial is taking place, showing solidarity with Combs amid his continued run of controversial and inflammatory statements throughout 2025.

According to Ye, her involvement in an earlier version of the track had previously caused tension with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Sean Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, could face a life sentence if convicted. Following more than a month of witness testimony and evidence, he chose not to take the stand in his defense earlier this week. On Thursday, federal prosecutors delivered an over four hours long closing argument, urging the jury to find Combs guilty and describing him as 'the leader of a criminal enterprise.' All of this evidence paints a clear picture of how the defendant committed crimes,' assistant US attorney Christy Slavik said Thursday. 'Up until today, he was able to get away with it because of his money, his power (and) his influence. That stops now. It's time for justice. It's time to find the defendant guilty,' he added.
