<p id=”par-1_69″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/hip-hop/?swcfpc=1″>Hip-hop</a> mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs sits behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper doesn’t have a lot of support from Hollywood elites. However, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kanye-west/?swcfpc=1″>Kanye “Ye” West</a> made it clear that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/cassie-ventura-pointed-response-kanye-ye-west-supporting-diddy.html/”>he intends to support Combs</a> through Combs’ legal battles. Here’s what a legal analyst said about West remaining in Combs’ “corner.”</p>

<p id=”par-2_71″>Kanye “Ye” West continues to show support for Sean “Diddy” Combs, adding to his chaotic year. West started the year with a Grammy Awards stunt alongside his wife, Bianca Censori, that left audiences stunned. He then took to X to share antisemitic and hateful beliefs while trying to sell swastika T-shirts. More recently, he showed <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kanye-ye-west-questions-cassie-ventura-extorted-sean-diddy-combs.html/”>his undying support for Combs</a> by releasing a track that included Combs and his daughter, North.</p>
<p id=”par-3_67″>In March 2025, a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/diddy-tells-kanye-west-imprisonment-wicked-phone-call.html/”>leaked phone call from The Shade Room</a> showed West speaking to Combs. “Tell you real from the front lines, you know what I’m saying? S*** is wicked, wicked, wicked, so you be careful,” Combs tells West. ” … I need you out there. You feel me?” Combs then tells West to “have some f***ing fun” and “chop up” samples to keep making music.</p>
<p id=”par-4_52″>Legal analyst Lou Shapiro spoke on <em>The Trial of Diddy</em> podcast about West and Combs’ phone call. “Diddy and Kanye speaking won’t have any effect in the trial itself since only acts or evidence that took place during the incidents will come into play,” Shapiro explained, according to <a href=”https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/p-diddy-pretty-much-own-1046876″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Mirror US</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-5_64″>Shapiro noted that Combs’ only friend is West at this point. “But it does show you moreover how <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kanye-west-angrily-calls-celebrities-supporting-sean-diddy-combs-chris-brown.html/”>Hollywood is really not behind Diddy</a>, because if Kanye is the one that he’s sort of resorting to speak with, it shows you much that he’s pretty much on his own at this point, and all he’s got is Kanye in his corner,” the analyst continued.</p>

<p id=”par-6_45″>The phone call between Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kanye “Ye” West went viral. The two rappers showed support for each other, and Combs thanked West for caring for his family and kids. Unfortunately, it seems Combs did not know that his call was being recorded.</p>
<p id=”par-7_32″>“Puff didn’t know it was being recorded [on video],” a source told the <a href=”https://nypost.com/2025/03/18/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-didnt-know-prison-call-with-kanye-west-was-being-recorded/?_gl=1*8p9uzx*_ga*MTI3MTE5NjQyMS4xNjkxMDk3MzIz*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*MTc0Mjg0MzY3Mi4yNTAuMC4xNzQyODQzNjc1LjU3LjAuMA..” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>New York Post</a>, adding that he “thought he was having a friend call him to check on his kids.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_28″>As for why the phone call was recorded, the source said, “Ye is doing Ye. Ye wasn’t doing anything nefarious,” they added, noting that the call “happened organically.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-an-expert-weighed-in-on-kanye-ye-west-releasing-his-recent-track-with-north-west”>An expert weighed in on Kanye ‘Ye’ West releasing his recent track with North West</h2>
<p id=”par-9_31″>Kanye “Ye” West released “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine” — a track containing his daughter, North West, and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Relationship expert Louella Alderson called the move “hugely irresponsible.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_48″>“Following Kanye’s continued outbursts on social media, it would be understandable that Kim [Kardashian] wants full legal custody to protect their children from any potential harm or negative influence,” Alderson told <a href=”https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/kanye-west-daughter-north-diddy-1046521″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Mirror US</a>. “This would give her the authority to make all major decisions regarding their upbringing.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_19″>Alderson added that West appears to put himself “before the well-being of his children,” giving Kardashian a legal leg-up.</p>
<p id=”par-12_40″>“She’s been patient and understanding of Kanye’s mental health struggles, but his recent behavior may have pushed her to the point where she feels she can no longer trust him to make responsible decisions for their children,” the expert continued.</p>
