Kanye West is in the news again, this time for a surprising plea to US President Donald Trump. The rapper asked Trump to help free music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is in jail in Brooklyn, New York, while awaiting trial on serious charges.
Kanye’s Plea for Diddy
On Friday, West took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask Trump for help in securing Combs’ release. The rapper criticized Hollywood stars for staying silent about Diddy’s arrest. West accused them of letting Combs “rot” in jail instead of speaking up for him.
His post said, “Donald Trump, PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.” This comes after Combs’ arrest on charges like sex trafficking and racketeering, which shocked both the music world and the public.
A Message for Diddy’s Family
Kanye also shared a FaceTime video of him talking with Christian Combs, Diddy’s son. The emotional video had a caption highlighting the pain families feel when a loved one is in jail. Kanye urged people to listen carefully to comedian Dave Chappelle’s jokes about family separations, especially in Black families.
“A SON TO HIS DAD FOR EVERY SON WHO DAD IS LOCKED UP, RIGHT OR WRONG,” the caption read. “I WANT Y’ALL TO LISTEN TO DAVE CHAPELLE’S JOKES VERY CLOSE THIS TIME. LET’S SEE HOW FUNNY IT GETS WHEN FAMILIES ARE SEPARATED ESPECIALLY BLACK FAMILIES.”
West’s Feuds and Controversies
West didn’t stop with a plea for Diddy. He also reignited his feud with the liquor company Diageo, accusing the company and other corporate leaders of controlling the music industry. He singled out Jewish and white business leaders, repeating his past accusations of corporate manipulation and discrimination.
“WHAT Y’ALL GONNA DO? CANCEL MY SNEAKER DEAL? CANCEL MY RECORD DEAL? FREEZE MY ACCOUNTS?” he ranted, stirring more controversy.
Diddy’s Legal Fight
Sean “Diddy” Combs remains in jail, with his criminal trial set to start on May 5. He faces charges like running a criminal group, drugging victims, and using violence to keep them quiet. If convicted, he could face life in prison, which has led to support from his close friends, including Kanye West.
