American rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, has made an urgent plea to former United States, President Donald Trump to pardon Sean Combs, popularly known as Puff Diddy or Diddy.
The music mogul is currently in a New York jail awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He is also facing over 30 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct.
Kanye took to his X (formerly Twitter) page on Thursday to demand Diddy’s release. In a series of emotional posts, he expressed his admiration for Diddy, calling him his “idol” and “hero.” He wrote, “THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT. YALL F***ING KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE F***ING INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM. THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US. THIS MY IDOL. THIS MY HERO.”
In another post, Kanye went on a rant, stating, “WHAT YALL GONE DO? CANCEL MY SNEAKER DEAL? CANCEL MY RECORD DEAL? FREEZE MY ACCOUNTS? F*** ALL YALL N***S. SLAVERY IS A CHOICE. IM SPEAKING MY MIND NOW. I AINT EDITING SHIT AGAIN EVER.”
Kanye’s plea for Diddy’s release has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many expressing outrage over his support for the embattled music mogul.
Diddy is currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on serious charges.
In addition to his posts on X, Kanye shared a video on Instagram showing him having a FaceTime call with Diddy’s son, Christian. This move further highlighted his support for Diddy and his family during this challenging time.
Kanye’s social media activity also revealed that he is now following only two people on Instagram: his wife, Bianca Censori, and Diddy.
Diddy’s legal troubles have been making headlines for months. Apart from the federal charges, he is facing numerous civil lawsuits from individuals who claim they were harmed by him through drugs, alcohol, and physical abuse.
