Controversial American rapper, Kanye West, has pleaded with President Donald Trump to pardon imprisoned music mogul, Sean Combs, aka Puff Diddy or Diddy.
Media reports that Diddy is currently facing more than 30 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and misconduct. He’s currently in a New York jail awaiting a federal criminal trial on sex trafficking and racketeering.
Taking his X page on Thursday, Ye asked Trump to release the embattled hip-hop mogul.
“@realDonaldTrump, please free my brother Puff,” he wrote.
Diddy was arrested by Homeland Security on suspicion of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and interstate transportation for prostitution in September last year.
Diddy has denied all the charges, entering a not-guilty plea on Tuesday, 17 September. However, his bail request was rejected twice.
Recently, Diddy was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Brooklyn, following a knee injury and was taken back to his cell after receiving treatment.
His trial will commence later this year.
