Kylie Jenner, operating under the moniker “King Kylie,” has returned to the rap scene, appearing as a featured artist on Yeat’s new song, “Let King Tonka Talk,” released Friday, March 20, 2026.
The collaboration marks Jenner’s first foray into music in nearly a decade, following her 2016 appearance on Burberry Perry’s “Beautiful Day” alongside Lil Yachty, Jordyn Woods and Justine Skye. According to lyrics released with the track, Yeat references mistaking a woman with a recent Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for Jenner, prompting her brief but deliberate contribution to the song.
Jenner’s verse, delivered as a “talk-rap,” consists of ten seconds of lyrics: “Let King Kylie talk. I just walked inside this club and all these bitches, yeah, they grabbin’ on me.” She concludes with a whispered, “They could never.”
Beyond her vocal performance, Jenner is credited as one of the five songwriters for “Let King Tonka Talk,” according to reports. The song features production from Lucid and Dylan Brady of the electronic music duo 100 gecs, characterized by “streaky neon synths and heavy bass throbs,” as described by Genius.
The return to rap arrives as Yeat prepares to release his new album, ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe/A Dangerous Love), scheduled for March 27. “King Kylie” is a reference to Jenner’s prominent era between 2014 and 2016, a period defined by her bold self-expression and the launch of Kylie Cosmetics, beginning with the Kylie Lip Kit in 2015. Last October, Jenner released the King Kylie Collection, celebrating the tenth anniversary of her beauty brand with packaging inspired by her iconic looks from that period.
Jenner’s unexpected return to music has sparked speculation about a potential broader re-engagement with the music industry. The song’s lyrics and Jenner’s credited songwriting role suggest a deliberate artistic choice, rather than a casual cameo.
