Kanye West has been criticised for his staunch defence of musician pal Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after he called for his release and announced their new project
Kanye West went on a bizarre social media rant as he called for fellow musician P Diddy to be released from prison.
Kanye, 47, took to Twitter /X to demand Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is freed amid a number of serious allegations. He also announced a new collaboration with the star. The Bad Boy Records founder is currently locked up on federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was initially arrested in September last year and is facing a number of new lawsuits. He continues to vehemently deny all charges.
Now, Kanye has jumped to his defence and insists he is released. He began by simply writing: “FREE PUFF.” He went on to share with a series of expletives. He also called out other celebrities for watching “OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S***”.
On Instagram, he continued his defence of his friend. In one upload, Kanye shared a video in which he had FaceTimed Diddy’s son, Christian. His staunch defence continued as he wrote on the post: “A SON TO HIS DAD FOR EVERY SON WHO DAD IS LOCKED UP WRITE OR WRONG I WANT YALL TO LISTEN TO DAVE CHAPELLES JOKES VERY CLOSE THIS TIME LETS SEE HOW FUNNY IT GETS WHEN FAMILIES ARE SEPARATED ESPECIALLY BLACK FAMILIES.”
He also went on to rant: “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.”
And he wasn’t done there. He later announced the pair were in talks for a collaboration. Kanye revealed a new line for Yeezy which had Diddy’s own fashion label Sean John branded on the front of a number of lines. The Gold Digger rapper wrote: “YEEZY SEAN JOHN COLLAB AVAILABLE @ YEEZY.COM ME AND PUFF SPLITTING THIS 50/50 LIKE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE THEY LOCKED HIM UP.”
However, his reveal wasn’t met with positivity and many of his followers criticised the launch in the comments section. One wrote: “It’s hard being a ye fan,” while another claimed: “no one wearing this ye keep diddy in jail.”
A third added: “This is wild. You have TWO daughters,” while a fourth said: “can’t defend this, like it’s not even funny or controversial it’s js lame.”
However, Diddy’s son Christian was on hand to defend the product and simply replied with a number of fire emojis.
The controversial announcement comes after Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori shocked the world at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. The 30-year-old Australian made quite the statement when she turned up to the red carpet in LA y wearing nothing but a see-through dress.
She dropped her black fluffy coat at the Crypto.com Arena to reveal her bare body beneath a skin-tight mesh slip dress. With her hair tied back, every inch of her was on display, potentially landing her in hot water with the law.
