Rapper Ye, Formerly Known as Kanye West, Briefly Shows up to Support Sean 'Diddy' Combs at Trial
- Rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West, briefly arrived before noon on Friday at Manhattan federal court to support Sean 'Diddy' Combs during his sex trafficking trial.
- Combs has been charged with sex trafficking and a racketeering conspiracy, accused of leveraging his celebrity status and violence to carry out criminal acts over two decades; he has entered a plea of not guilty.
- During the trial, a woman testified about feeling coerced into sex with male workers while Combs watched, and Jane testified about a 2023 Las Vegas trip during a three-month break with Combs.
- Combs' defense team maintained that he did not commit any illegal acts and criticized prosecutors for attempting to regulate consensual adult sexual activity, while his lawyer described some accusations as part of a "me too money grab."
- Ye spent about 40 minutes dressed in white in an overflow room observing testimony on a closed-circuit monitor during the trial break.
