In a recent social media appeal, Kanye West has called upon President Donald Trump to pardon fellow music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently incarcerated on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. West took to X (formerly Twitter) on February 6, 2025, writing, “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.”
Combs was arrested in September 2024 and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. He faces multiple allegations, including operating a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, forced labor, and other serious offenses. If convicted, he could face a life sentence.
West’s public plea has sparked significant attention, especially given the gravity of the charges against Combs. The trial is scheduled to commence on May 5, 2025. Combs has pleaded not guilty and has been denied bail multiple times.
