Rapper Kanye “Ye” West made a surprise visit to Manhattan federal court on Friday, supporting his friend Sean “Diddy” Combs in the mogul’s ongoing sex-trafficking trial. West arrived shortly before 11:30 a.m. and spent about 40 minutes viewing the proceedings from a separate overflow room. When asked if he’d testify, West declined. This is not West’s first support for Combs, as they have previously shown solidarity. The trial, which has been ongoing since November 2023, features multiple witnesses including fellow rapper Kid Cudi and Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who testified she received $20 million in a settlement.
