Sean “Diddy” Combs is showing his appreciation for Kanye West’s “Free Puff” campaign, which was shared during an online rant filled with antisemitic and racist posts, along with insults aimed at women.
West, now legally known as Ye, spent much of Thursday night into Saturday morning rambling and rampaging on X, at one point declaring his respect for both Adolf Hitler and 55-year-old Combs, the latter of whom is currently behind bars in New York City.
The “Heartless” rapper also called on President Trump to pardon Combs ahead of his trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which is set to begin May 5.
“FREE PUFF,” wrote West, referring to Combs by his old stage name, Puff Daddy.
“@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,” he said in a follow-up tweet.
The 24-time Grammy winner went on to call out other celebrities and public figures in a profanity-laden series of posts, condemning those who “WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S–T.”
Going on to describe Diddy as both an “idol” and a “hero,” West declared: “THEY [TRYING] TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF PUFF ME AND MY BROTHER HAD OUR ISSUES BUT THESE WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE PUFF TO SCARE N—-S.”
The “Jesus Walks” rapper also announced a new Yeezy clothing line in partnership with Diddy’s Sean John brand, vowing to split the proceeds with the disgraced music mogul.
As of Saturday, Yeezy is selling three T-shirts bearing the Sean John logo through its online store in red, white and blue.
Combs showed his gratitude by resharing West’s post about the clothing collaboration on Instagram.
“Thank you to my brother, @Ye,” he wrote.
Combs has been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest on Sept. 16. He was taken into custody at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown after a months-long investigation carried out by Homeland Security and the federal government, which saw agents raid Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection with drug and sex trafficking allegations.
He’s also fighting dozens of other sexual assault cases in federal and state court.
Combs has denied all wrongdoing.
