On June 13, 2025, Ye (formerly Kanye West) stirred up the courtroom when he unexpectedly showed up to support longtime friend Sean “Diddy” Combs during the high-stakes sex-trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan. Dressed head-to-toe in white, he entered through the public entrance alongside Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs .
Despite his flashy entrance, Ye was not on the pre-approved guest list and was denied access to the main 26th-floor courtroom. Instead, he watched the proceedings via closed-circuit from a packed overflow room on the 23rd floor for roughly 30 – 45 minutes before quietly exiting .
Reporters captured him nodding affirmatively when asked if he was there in support of Combs. He left without further comment, slipping out through a side exit and into a waiting car .
Ye’s brief appearance came amid testimony from a witness known as “Jane,” who described disturbing orgies allegedly hosted by Combs—an event that has riveted attention to the trial’s explosive fifth week
