US EditionRapper Ye, Formerly Known as Kanye West, Briefly Shows up to Support Sean 'Diddy' Combs at Trial
- On Friday, rapper Ye briefly appeared at the Manhattan federal court to support longtime friend Sean 'Diddy' Combs during his sex trafficking trial.
- The trial stemmed from allegations that Combs used his fame and violence over 20 years to commit sex trafficking and racketeering, charges he denies.
- Ye, dressed in white, arrived before noon but did not enter the main courtroom, observing proceedings on a closed-circuit monitor during a trial break.
- Defense attorneys maintained that Combs did not engage in any criminal activity and contended that prosecutors were attempting to regulate consensual adult sexual behavior, while lawyer Brian Steel described the accusations as a "me too money grab."
- Ye’s brief presence highlighted ongoing support amid serious accusations, as testimonies describe coercion and alleged sexual violence within Combs’ sphere over several years.
