Kim Kardashian reportedly took swift action to end her daughter North West’s visit with Kanye West after learning that controversial figures Andrew and Tristan Tate were on their way to join them. According to reports, Kardashian was informed by security that the Tate brothers, who have been facing legal issues related to sex crimes overseas, were expected to arrive at the location where North was meeting her father. Concerned for her child’s safety, she immediately intervened and cut the visit short.
This incident led to an emergency custody hearing between Kardashian and West on March 14. The meeting, attended by their legal teams and a mediator, focused on West’s recent actions, including his decision to feature North in his new song, "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine." The track also includes Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in custody facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and other serious allegations. Kardashian has reportedly been trying to block the song’s release, citing concerns over her daughter's involvement.

West’s recent behaviour on social media was also discussed during the hearing. The rapper has made inflammatory posts on X, including antisemitic remarks and baseless accusations that Kardashian and her family are involved in sex trafficking. He also made inappropriate comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children, sparking backlash from their family, including Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, who condemned his words as “ignorant and evil.”
The presence of the Tate brothers in this situation added another layer of concern. Andrew and Tristan Tate, who recently returned to the U.S. after a travel ban was lifted in Romania, have been charged with human trafficking and other crimes. Although they deny the allegations, their controversial reputation made Kardashian uncomfortable with the idea of them being around her children.

Amid these developments, Kardashian has reportedly been exploring legal options, including the possibility of seeking sole custody of their four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Sources claim that she is determined to protect them from any negative influence.
West, on the other hand, appears to be standing firm. He allegedly shared text exchanges with Kardashian, where they argued over North’s participation in his song. In one message, Kardashian reminded him that she holds the trademark rights to their children’s names and can legally prevent their involvement in projects she deems inappropriate.
The situation remains tense, with both parents at odds over how to raise their children while dealing with West’s increasingly erratic behaviour and controversial associations.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.

Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
