After going on a hiatus, Kanye West suddenly surfaced online to rally support for US rapper, Diddy, who has been jailed since 2024.

The 47-year-old rapper expressed his support for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is currently imprisoned and awaiting trial on charges including trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and engaging in other illegal acts.

Kanye West, who recently revealed that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar and has now been certified to be autistic, described Diddy as both an 'idol' and a 'hero'.

Kanye tweeted:

"Anyone comes in my face and asks me about that Puff thing, I'm stealing off them immediately. I don't care if you're 8 feet tall — I'ma jump and steal off you. No more telling me what color hat to wear. If you ask me on the phone, I'm hanging up immediately and never speaking to you again. If you DM me, I'm blocking you. You niggas are controlled and broke.

"All you Kamala *** — y'all got everything to say about my opinions when you just doing what they make you do for money. They don't mean gay either. It means y'all like it always meant.

"My support of Puff is completely selfish. I need to find whoever's been trying to out black moguls. I stood up for Puff, and I'm still winning 20 Grammys next year and doing the Super Bowl. Puff, we love you."

"This post is filled with a lot of anger and aggression. If you want to respond to a situation, it’s always best to do it in a way that keeps your integrity intact. You can stand firm in your beliefs without letting emotions take over. Let me know if you want to reframe your response in a way that still gets your point across but maintains your composure."

@FFMuhieddine said:

"Standing tall for what you believe in and still collecting wins. Grammys or Super Bowl, the grind speaks louder than the noise. Let them watch while you work."
