With Sean “Diddy” Combs facing trial on multiple charges of sex trafficking and abuse, Kanye West has appealed to former President Donald Trump for intervention.
The 24-time Grammy winner took to social media on Thursday, urging Trump to grant Combs a pardon ahead of his May 5 trial.
“FREE PUFF,” West wrote on X, later adding, “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.”
West also criticized celebrities for their silence, stating, “WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S—,” and referencing Chris Brown: “WE ALL WATCHED TAKE CHRIS BROWN AND AINT NOBODY DO NOTHING I WAS P— THEN TOO CHRIS BROWN ITS TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF.”
His remarks came in the wake of Trump’s broad pardon of nearly 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th incident.
Combs, 55, was arrested by the NYPD on September 16 and remains in custody after being denied bail on three separate occasions.
He is facing serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution, with the possibility of a life sentence if found guilty.
Additionally, Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, is confronting multiple sexual assault lawsuits, one of which lists Jay-Z as a co-defendant. Several of the accusers are minors, including a 10-year-old boy.
