Business Collaboration Announcement Amidst Legal Troubles
Alongside his appeal for Diddy’s release, Kanye also announced plans for a Yeezy collaboration with Diddy’s Sean John clothing branda deal that he claims was in discussion before the producer’s arrest.
“I’m selling a Sean John collaboration that me and my brother spoke about before they locked him up. We splitting the profits 50/50,” Kanye wrote.
Diddy’s official Instagram account, which is believed to be managed by his family, later responded, sharing a screenshot of Kanye’s post and adding:
“Thank you to my brother @Ye,” along with a link to the Yeezy website.
Diddy’s Ongoing Legal Battle
Diddy has been behind bars since September 2024, following his arrest by Homeland Security on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and interstate transportation for prostitution.
He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City, facing over 30 civil lawsuits related to sexual assault and misconduct.
Diddy has denied all allegations, entering a not-guilty plea in court. However, his bail requests have been denied twice, leaving him awaiting trial behind bars.
Health Scare and Upcoming Trial
Recently, reports surfaced that Diddy was rushed to a Brooklyn hospital after suffering a knee injury. He was treated and later returned to his cell.
With his trial set to begin later this year, Diddy continues to maintain his innocence, while supporters like Kanye West advocate for his release.
As of now, President Trump has not publicly responded to Kanye’s plea.
