How did Kanye West support Sean 'Diddy' Combs after his arrest?

On Friday, June 13, 2025, Ye caused a frenzy outside the US District Courthouse in New York City. As per The Sun, he arrived in a blacked-out Maybach. The rapper reportedly walked through security with Diddy’s youngest son, Christian “King” Combs. According to Variety, Kanye West sat beside Christian in the overflow room, where the trial was streamed via video feed.

Although Kanye West spent less than 30 minutes in the courthouse, he never made it into Judge Arun Subramanian's courtroom. A source close to CNN revealed that Christian Combs and Kanye West are currently working on music together. Ye is reportedly one of the few celebrities voicing support for Sean Combs after he was arrested in 2024 and is facing federal charges.

Kanye West's appearance at the courthouse came a day after a woman under the pseudonym “Jane” testified for six days. The witness was in a relationship with Sean Combs from 2021 to 2024. She alleged that she felt coerced into having s*x with male escorts while Diddy watched.

West, in March 2025, released a song titled, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine featuring a phone call recorded between him and Sean Combs from jail. Notably, the song also featured Christian Combs and Ye’s daughter, North West.

In the call recording obtained by The Shade Room, Combs could be heard saying:

“This shit is wicked, wicked, wicked. So you be careful. I’m Puff Daddy in jail. This shit is f*cking sad as a motherf*cker.”

Ye, according to the Los Angeles Times, previously showed his support for Diddy when he tweeted about producing a T-shirt with the “Sean John” logo in February 2025. Notably, Sean John is the real name of the 55-year-old rapper. He also confirmed splitting the profits from the sale 50-50.

“I’m selling the Sean John collaboration that me and my brother spoke about before they locked him up we splitting the profits 50/50,” Kanye West wrote in one of his X posts.
