Ye attended Diddy's trial in Manhattan
In other news, Kanye West recently showed up to Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing sex trafficking trial in New York on June 13. The rapper, dressed fully in white, was photographed outside the Manhattan courthouse and replied "Yes" when a reporter asked him if he was there to support Combs.
However, Ye was not allowed inside the courthouse and was instead directed to the overflow rooms. He was pictured leaving the courthouse less than an hour after he arrived. Ye's arrival at court came one day after "Jane," Diddy's anonymous former ex-girlfriend, concluded her six-day testimony.
This is not the first time Kanye West has shown support for the Bad Boy Records founder since his arrest in September 2024. In February 2025, Ye took to X to post a series of controversial tweets. In one such post, he advocated for Diddy's freedom, writing, "FREE PUFF."
