Ye Backs Diddy at Manhattan Sex Trafficking Trial

Kanye West, now known as Ye, attended Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial in Manhattan on June 13, 2025, accompanied by Diddy's son, Christian Combs. Ye was denied entry to the main courtroom due to strict admittance rules and instead observed the proceedings via video in an overflow room for about 40 minutes. His appearance drew significant media attention and prompted online commentary, including mockery from 50 Cent directed at Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, which led to fan backlash. Diddy faces multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, and has pleaded not guilty as the trial continues with witness testimony. Ye has continued to voice support for Diddy on social media and through music collaborations, despite his own recent legal issues. The case remains ongoing in Manhattan federal court.
