Sean 'Diddy' Combs has thanked Kanye West after he called for him to be freed from jail. Diddy, 55, has been locked up at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center since he was arrested last year on sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges. The Bump, Bump, Bump rapper has vehemently denied all of the allegations and charges against him. He has been denied bail multiple times. In a bizarre twist on Thursday, Diddy's former friend Kanye voiced his support for the star in a series of rambling social media posts.

Seemingly calling an end to their three-year feud, the Gold Digger rapper, 47, launched into a tirade begging President Trump to 'Free Puff' and revealing he was releasing a Yeezy clothing line in collaboration with Diddy's Sean John brand. Thanking Kanye for his support, Diddy reposted the rapper's tweets about their clothing collaboration, taking to Instagram from behind bars to write: 'Thank you to my brother @Ye', and sharing a link to the Yeezy website.

Diddy has responded after Kanye West backtracked on their feud and called for the disgraced rapper to be freed from jail in a social media meltdown on Thursday night. After Kanye begged President Trump to 'free Puff' and revealed they had collaborated on a clothing line together, Diddy took to Instagram from behind bars to thank Kanye. Kanye began his rant by addressing Diddy - real name Sean Combs - by his former stage name, Puff Daddy, tweeting: 'FREE PUFF'.

Half an hour later, he returned to the microblogging site to accuse celebrities of leaving Diddy to 'rot', penning: 'ALL THESE CELEBRITY N****S AND B*****S IS P***Y YALL A WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S**T.'. He went on: 'THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT YALL F***ING KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE F***ING INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US THIS MY IDOL THIS MY HERO.'.

Kanye, who was receiving plenty of backlash from fans amid his tirade, then claimed he had nothing left to lose, writing: 'WHAT YALL GONE DO CANCEL MY SNEAKER DEAL CANCEL MY RECORD DEAL FREEZE MY ACCOUNTS F**K ALL YALL N****S SLAVERY IS A CHOICE IM SPEAKING MY MIND NOW I AINT EDITING S**T AGAIN EVER.'. The rapper famously lost a series of brand deals in 2022 after his first anti-Semitic tirade, with GAP ripping Kanye merchandise from their stores, Universal dropping him and Adidas terminating its multi-million dollar partnership with the rapper.

Likening his situation to Diddy's, Kanye referenced the rapper being ousted as the frontman of global alcoholic drinks giant, Diageo. Using racist slurs and again targeting the Jewish community, he went on: 'ALL YOU PLEEEEEASE COME AT ME THATS HOW WE SPOT THE K***S LET THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY F**K DIAGEO AND F**K ALL YALL N****S IN ADVANCE.'. Kanye then vowed to make money for Diddy by selling a clothing line collaborating his Yeezy brand with Diddy's Sean John brand, insisting they would 'split the profits 50/50.'.

Diddy, 55, has been locked up at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center since he was arrested last year on sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges. The Bump, Bump, Bump rapper has vehemently denied all of the allegations and charges against him. It's a shocking twist because Kanye and Diddy have been feuding since October 2022 after Diddy took umbrage at Kanye bringing out his infamous White Lives Matter T-shirts.

Claiming that Diddy's downfall was the result of racism, he went on: 'JUST FOR CLARITY THEY TYRING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF PUFF ME AND MY BROTHER HAD OUR ISSUES BUT THESE WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE PUFF TO SCARE N****S IM NEITHER SCARED NOR BRAVE THIS JUST ME.'. As well as posting a series of controversial tweets on X, he also used his Instagram account to share his support for Diddy, tagging President Donald Trump in a post that read: 'FREE DIDDY'.

Kanye also baffled fans as he appeared to reference Justin Bieber while making unsubstantiated claims about Diddy's finances. He shared: 'I JUST FOUND OUT THAT PUFF IS NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE OR COLLECT MONEY WHILE HE’S LOCKED UP SO I’MA SEND HIS HALF OF THE MONEY TO JUSTIN.'. Fans have shared concerns about Justin's wellbeing as his relationship with former mentor Diddy came under scrutiny amid the rapper's arrest.

Kanye's support for Diddy will no doubt have come as a shock to many, given the pair have been locked in a feud since Kanye unveiled his controversial 'White Lives Matter' merchandise in 2022. After Diddy branded the message 'tone deaf' in a podcast interview, Kanye released a series of texts between the pair fighting about the remarks. 'I'm selling these tees. Nobody gets in between me and my money. This is my grandfather texting you now. Never call me with no bulls*** like that again unless you ready to green light me. Cause anybody who got on that tee is me,' Kanye reportedly texted.
