The music industry’s Sean “Diddy” Combs faces ongoing legal issues which prompted Kanye West to numerous public statements of support on social media. The trial of Combs on May 5 approaches while the musician remains incarcerated to face multiple charges amounting to racketeering and sex trafficking. Kanye West posted on X (Twitter at the time) on February 6 as he urged officials to release Puff and declared that law enforcement wanted to create a case example against him.
During his public statements Kanye West alleged that some organizations used the case against Combs for control purposes by manipulating the legal process. West demanded to know who ordered this attack on the Bad Boy Records founder because he maintained the Black entertainment community faces continuous intimidation.

Besides his protection of Combs West took on the challenge of responding to public remarks about his wife Bianca Censori‘s bare-skeleton outfit from the 2025 Grammys.

Federal Agents Raid Combs’ Properties
The situation deteriorated for Combs after HSI agents conducted search warrants at his homes located in Los Angeles as well as Miami on March 25. Several law enforcement agencies worked under the Southern District of New York to execute the search warrants at the Los Angeles and Miami residences of Combs. The authorities conducted their search operations in Miami while Combs was present at that location.
The investigation targeting Combs intensified after November because numerous lawsuits were filed against him regarding sexual abuse claims. Throughout this controversy the music magnate insisted the claims come from financial benefits seeking to damage his public image. Earlier he declared his intention to protect his name as well as his family and all truth surrounding him.
Diddy’s Lawyer Speaks Out
Lawyer for Combs delivered a statement to media outlets about the police forces’ apparent weaponization during the searches that occurred the day after. The attorney disapproved of the way authorities handled the children and staff members at Combs’ properties while justifying that their actions went beyond reason.
According to the attorney Combs did not receive detention status and he willingly supported the investigation team. The media producing numerous reports of pending charges against the members of Combs’ family turns out to be baseless because legal authorities made no official arrest proceedings against them while also refraining from restricting their travel freedom. This attorney described the probe as a “witch hunt” because civil litigation cases provided the main motivation without sufficient evidence.
