Kanye West has made waves by unfollowing Taylor Swift and publicly supporting Sean "Diddy" Combs, who faces serious legal troubles. In a dramatic social media move, West called on former President Donald Trump to intervene in Diddy's case.

Diddy currently remains in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, facing charges related to operating a criminal enterprise involving violence and exploitation. If convicted, he could receive a life sentence. His legal team maintains the charges are merely a "publicity stunt."

West's social media activity took an unexpected turn when he unfollowed Taylor Swift – whom he had prominently featured just a week prior – and began following Diddy instead. He directly appealed to Trump on social media, writing "@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF."

This isn't West's first interaction with Trump, who has previously granted clemency to other music industry figures like Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. The request for intervention adds another layer to the ongoing legal drama surrounding Diddy.

Adding to the controversy, West and his wife Bianca Censori made headlines at the 2025 Grammy Awards when they were escorted out after Censori removed her fur coat to reveal a sheer outfit. Legal experts have noted that the incident likely won't result in charges as it doesn't meet California's indecent exposure criteria.

These recent events mark the latest chapter in West's ongoing series of headline-generating moments, as he continues to navigate complex relationships within the music industry while advocating for Diddy's release.
