Kanye West reportedly wants to attend Diddy‘s sex trafficking trial as a sign of support for the embattled media mogul.
According to CNN, West has been in touch with Diddy’s team about making appearance at court as a show of solidarity with his occasional collaborator.
CNN report that West may attend when the defense begins to present their case which is expected to happen in the next week after the prosecution rests.
They also report that West has grown close to Diddy’s son King Combs and that the two have been working on music together.

West has been the most high profile defender of Diddy ever since he was first accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking back in 2023.
The controversial rapper’s most recent comment about the Bad Boy Records founder’s legal issues came when Kid Cudi testified against him in court.
Cudi, who used to be signed to West’s record label GOOD Music, accused Diddy of breaking into his house, hurting his dog and setting fire to his Porsche.
West wrote on social media that he was not happy Cudi testified.

On X, West wrote: “I wish Cudi hadn’t testified against Puff.”
West added: “We need to not be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family.”
The Chicago native has also suggested Cassie was looking to extort Diddy with her allegations against her ex-boyfriend.
“Did Cassie extort Puff?” he wrote on X back in February.

West also went on to defend Diddy’s assault of Cassie in a hotel corridor, the footage of which was leaked to the press.
After calling for the disgraced record executive to be released from jail, West claimed that his 2016 assault was merely an act of “true love.”
“When [a] man truly loves a [woman] he may express it in rage. I empathize with both sides,” he wrote on X, before adding: “You have to truly be in love to get to the point of risking everything.”
West later began selling the same hoodie that Cassie wore during the shocking incident and bragged about making over $30,000 in revenue — a move that led to him being called “evil” by social media users.
