Kanye Pleads With Trump to Release Diddy From Jail
On Thursday, Kanye took to social media to call for the release of Diddy, who has been in jail since his arrest on sex trafficking charges last September.
“FREE PUFF,” he simply wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. It’s not currently clear what exactly prompted his message regarding Diddy’s freedom.
Not long after his tweet mentioning Diddy, the 47-year-old rapper referenced President Trump in a message pleading for him to release the Bad Boy Records founder. “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,” he wrote.
Ye continued his stream of consciousness on X, touching on several topics, including “woke shit” and his thoughts on how the music industry has treated Chris Brown.
The Donda rapper also doubled down on his idea that “slavery is a choice.”
In another tweet in which he was “speaking my mind,” Ye promised that he’s not “editing shit ever again” and referenced his accounts getting frozen and his Adidas sneaker deal getting canceled—the company terminated its partnership with the rapper in 2022 after he made antisemitic remarks.
While it’s not yet clear exactly why Ye called for Diddy’s freedom, it’s worth noting that, aside from his wife Bianca Censori, the artist formerly known as Ye is only following the artist formerly known as P. Diddy on Instagram.
Diddy is currently sitting in Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he is awaiting trial on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
