“THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT YALL F*** KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE F*** INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US THIS MY IDOL THIS MY HERO.”
West is adamant about a conspiracy against Combs, 55, and insisted that he would get to the bottom of who is behind the matter.
“WHOS EVER AFTER PUFF WE GOTTA FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE OK COOL PLAY OFF THE GRID.”
With widespread condemnation of those involved in the case against Diddy, West made it clear he was not afraid of backlash for speaking his mind on the matter.
“WHAT YALL GONE DO CANCEL MY SNEAKER DEAL CANCEL MY RECORD DEAL FREEZE MY ACCOUNTS F*** ALL YALL N**** SLAVERY IS A CHOICE IM SPEAKING MY MIND NOW I AINT EDITING S*** AGAIN EVER.”
Regarding his controversial take, West declared ‘Puff we love you’, before alleging that the challenges facing Diddy are racially charged.
“ME AND MY BROTHER HAD OUR ISSUES BUT THESE WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE PUFF TO SCARE N**** IM NEITHER SCARED NOR BRAVE THIS JUST ME.”

New merchandise launched to support Diddy behind bars
Committing to his support, West has launched a clothing line in collaboration with Diddy who has denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty in court.
Announcing the new line, West confirmed that the profits will be split equally in a bid to support Diddy while behind bars.
“I’m selling the Sean John collaboration that me and my brother spoke about before they locked him up we splitting the profits 50/50.”
Kanye West revealed that Combs’ portion of the profits would actually be sent to his son, Justin Combs. Explaining the reasoning behind this, West highlighted that Diddy is ‘not allowed to make or collect’ money while incarcerated.
Do you think Kanye West will be negatively impacted by his support for Diddy?
