Kanye West has released a new song with Christian ‘King’ Combs to support Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs during his federal sex-trafficking trial. The song came out on Friday as the trial enters its final phase.
The track is called “Diddy Free” and appears on a surprise joint EP titled “Never Stop.” The song directly references Diddy’s ongoing legal case.
Song Content and Message
The chorus repeats the line supporting Diddy’s freedom. Christian Combs, who is Diddy’s 27-year-old son, raps a verse defending his father’s reputation.
In the song, Christian Combs says critics are trying to damage his father’s image. He refers to the allegations and court proceedings in his lyrics.
Trial Status
Diddy’s federal sex-trafficking case reached closing arguments on Thursday. Both the defense and prosecution finished presenting their cases to the jury.
Jurors will start deliberations on Monday to decide the verdict. The trial has lasted seven weeks.
Charges Against Diddy
Sean Combs, 55, faces serious federal charges. Prosecutors say he trafficked women across state lines and forced them into sexual acts. They claim he ran a criminal enterprise.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He denies the allegations against him.
Trial Evidence
During the seven-week trial, prosecutors called 34 witnesses. These included former partners, assistants, and employees of Diddy.
Several witnesses described violence, manipulation, and sexual abuse. Two ex-girlfriends testified that Combs forced them into sexual encounters with strangers during drug-fueled events.
The court saw video evidence and text message records. The jury also heard social media posts as evidence.
Defense Response
Diddy’s legal team spent about 30 minutes presenting their defense case. Lead attorney Marc Agnifilo called the trial a “trial of lifestyle.”
The defense argued that prosecutors exaggerated their claims. Agnifilo acknowledged that Diddy had assaulted ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura but said the case was sensationalized.
Court Appearance
Kanye West made a surprise 40-minute visit to the courthouse. Christian Combs met him and went inside together.
Christian Combs told reporters he was there to support his father during the proceedings.
Previous Support
This is not the first time Kanye West has supported Diddy publicly. In February, West asked President Donald Trump to release Diddy from federal custody on social media.
West posted on X asking Trump to “free my brother Puff.” He also shared a screenshot of a video call with Christian Combs.
Potential Consequences
If convicted, Sean Combs could face life in prison. The court has not set a date for when the verdict will be announced.
The case has drawn significant media attention throughout the trial period. The outcome will be decided by the jury’s deliberations starting Monday.
