Kanye West has made waves by unfollowing Taylor Swift and publicly supporting Sean "Diddy" Combs, who currently faces serious legal troubles. West took to social media to appeal directly to former President Donald Trump, posting "@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF."

Diddy is currently held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, facing charges related to operating a criminal enterprise involving violence and exploitation. If convicted, he could receive a life sentence. His legal team maintains the charges are merely a "publicity stunt."

The timing of West's social media shift is notable, as he had recently been showing support for Taylor Swift, even highlighting her as one of his few followed accounts just a week prior.

West's appeal to Trump isn't unprecedented, given the former president's history of granting clemency to music industry figures like Lil Wayne and Kodak Black.

Adding to the controversy, West and his wife Bianca Censori made headlines at the 2025 Grammy Awards when they were escorted out after Censori removed her fur coat to reveal a sheer outfit. The couple reportedly attended without official invitation, though legal experts note Censori likely won't face indecent exposure charges under California law.

This latest series of events adds to West's history of generating media attention through unexpected social media moves and public controversies.
