Kanye West has sparked controversy once again, taking to social media to demand the release of Sean "Diddy" Combs from federal jail. In a fiery rant, Ye not only declared his support for Diddy but also repeated his infamous statement, “Slavery is a choice.”

Ye expressed his admiration for Diddy in an all-caps social media post, saying, “THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US THIS MY IDOL THIS MY HERO.” He also accused the public of laughing at Diddy’s situation instead of supporting him.
Adding to his vocal support, Kanye shared a FaceTime video with Diddy’s son, Christian. He further criticized the media and fellow celebrities for not speaking up in support of his “brother.”

Kanye’s defense of Diddy has ignited backlash, with many slamming him for supporting a man facing serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy is currently awaiting trial in MDC Brooklyn, and multiple lawsuits accuse him of physical abuse and misconduct.

In an unexpected twist, Kanye urged former President Donald Trump to intervene and release Diddy from jail. Given the severity of the allegations, it remains unclear whether Trump will respond to Ye’s plea.
