Kanye West Reportedly Plans to Attend Diddy’s Sex Trafficking Trial to Show Support

Kanye West is reportedly preparing to attend the highly publicized sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, demonstrating his continued support for the embattled music mogul. According to CNN, West has been in contact with Diddy’s legal team about appearing in court as a show of solidarity during a critical phase of the trial.

Sources say West may make his court appearance when the defense begins presenting their case, which is expected to take place next week after the prosecution rests its arguments. The move signals West’s ongoing loyalty to Diddy, with whom he has collaborated on multiple occasions.

The CNN report also notes that West has grown close to Diddy’s son, King Combs, with the two reportedly working on new music together — further strengthening ties between the two families amid the legal storm.

Since the start of Diddy’s legal troubles in 2023, West has been one of the most vocal and high-profile defenders of the Bad Boy Records founder. The charges against Diddy include serious allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking, leading to intense media scrutiny.

West’s most recent comments came in response to testimony from Kid Cudi, a former GOOD Music signee, who accused Diddy of breaking into his home, harming his dog, and setting fire to his Porsche. After Cudi’s testimony, West expressed his disappointment publicly.

On X (formerly Twitter), West wrote, “I wish Cudi hadn’t testified against Puff,” adding, “We need to not be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family.” His statements reveal a strong desire to support Diddy through the legal battle while criticizing what he perceives as systemic bias.

West has also insinuated that Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, may have attempted to extort the rapper with her allegations. Back in February, he tweeted, “Did Cassie extort Puff?” fueling further speculation around the case.

Adding to the controversy, West defended an incident in 2016 where Diddy assaulted Cassie in a hotel corridor, footage of which leaked to the public. West described the assault as an act of “true love,” writing on X, “When [a] man truly loves a [woman] he may express it in rage. I empathize with both sides,” and, “You have to truly be in love to get to the point of risking everything.”

In a move that drew heavy criticism, West later sold hoodies featuring the same outfit Cassie wore during that incident, boasting about making over $30,000 in revenue from the merchandise. This decision sparked backlash, with many branding West as “evil” on social media.

As the trial continues, West’s planned attendance will likely draw significant attention, underscoring his unwavering support for Diddy. The case remains a major talking point in both the legal world and entertainment circles, as fans and critics watch closely for new developments.
