Elon Musk Unfollows Kanye West On X

Kanye West, the Grammy-winning rapper and entrepreneur, is making headlines once again with his latest social media activity. He unfollowed Taylor Swift on X, followed tech mogul Elon Musk, and publicly called on President Donald Trump to pardon his friend, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Kanye’s Plea to Trump: “Free Puff”

In a series of posts on X, West passionately urged Trump to intervene.

“FREE PUFF,” West wrote. He also tagged Trump in another post, saying, “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,” which he later deleted. Additionally, he criticized Hollywood’s silence on the issue, stating, “WE ALL WATCHED THEM TAKE CHRIS BROWN AND AIN’T NOBODY DO NOTHING.”

West’s support for Combs reflects his continued alignment with Trump, whom he famously endorsed during the 2016 presidential election.

Sean ‘Diddy’ combs faces serious legal battle

Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, was arrested in New York on September 16 and is facing multiple serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, fraud, and coercion. Prosecutors have labeled him a flight risk, resulting in three denied bail requests. If convicted, he could face life in prison.

Beyond the criminal charges, Combs is also battling civil lawsuits. A recent one alleges that he “dehumanized the plaintiff and reduced him to a mere object for his amusement and to satisfy his sexual fetishes.” It adds he “exploited the plaintiff, imprisoning and controlling him through surveillance and secret filming.”

Combs denies all allegations

Combs’ legal team has strongly denied the accusations. His attorney told Rolling Stone: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex-trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to separate fact from fiction, and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail in court.”

West’s vocal defense of Combs adds another layer of controversy to an already high-profile case. His decision to unfollow Taylor Swift and align with figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump has reignited discussions about celebrity influence and loyalty.

Awaiting trial

With Combs’ trial set for May 5, his legal team is preparing a defense against both criminal charges and multiple civil lawsuits. Meanwhile, Kanye West’s public support for the embattled music mogul has ensured that the case remains at the center of media attention.
