Sean ‘Diddy' Combs responds to Kanye West's ‘Free Puff' campaign, clothing collab
West, now legally known as Ye, spent much of Thursday night into Saturday morning rambling and rampaging on X, at one point declaring his respect for both Adolf Hitler and 55-year-old Combs, the latter of whom is currently behind bars in New York City.
The 'Heartless' rapper also called on President Donald Trump to pardon Combs ahead of his trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which is set to begin May 5.
'FREE PUFF,' wrote West, referring to Combs by his old stage name, Puff Daddy.
'@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF,' he said in a follow-up tweet.
The 24-time Grammy winner went on to call out other celebrities and public figures in a profanity-laden series of posts, condemning those who 'WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S–T.'
Going on to describe Diddy as both an 'idol' and a 'hero,' West declared: 'THEY [TRYING] 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.'
The 'Jesus Walks' rapper also announced a new Yeezy clothing line in partnership with Diddy's Sean John brand, vowing to split the proceeds with the disgraced music mogul.
As of Saturday, Yeezy is selling three T-shirts bearing the Sean John logo through its online store in red, white and blue.
Combs showed his gratitude by resharing West's post about the clothing collaboration on Instagram.
'Thank you to my brother, @Ye,' he wrote.
Combs has been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest on Sept. 16. He was taken into custody at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown after a months-long investigation carried out by Homeland Security and the federal government, which saw agents raid Diddy's homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection with drug and sex trafficking allegations.
He's also fighting dozens of other sexual assault cases in federal and state court.
Combs has denied all wrongdoing.

Jack White melts down after White House calls him ‘washed-up' — rages that Trump is a ‘low-life fascist'
Former White Stripes frontman Jack White scorned the Trump administration on Wednesday after the White House called him a 'washed-up loser.' In a lengthy Instagram post, White retaliated against White House communications director Steven Cheung calling him a 'has-been' with an anti-Trump screed that questioned President Donald Trump's humanity and called him a 'conman' and a 'low life fascist.' Advertisement 'No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc.,' he wrote. 'This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over.' The 'Seven Nation Army' singer's post came after Cheung slammed him for mocking Trump's new Oval Office decorations in a statement to The Daily Beast earlier this week. 'Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,' Cheung said Tuesday. Advertisement 'It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'' Cheung was responding to White, who began the tit-for-tat with an Instagram post Monday trashing the new gold decorations in the Oval Office. 'Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room,' the musician said. 3 Ex-White Stripes singer Jack White criticized the Trump administration after the White House called him a 'washed-up loser.' FilmMagic Advertisement 'Can't wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he's almost fully achieved the movie 'Idiocracy,'' he added, mentioning Trump's ambitions to host a UFC fight in front of the White House next year as part of America's 250th birthday celebrations. Though White started the feud with the administration, his response to Cheung accused the Trump team of being thin-skinned. 'How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist?' Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.' 3 White took to Instagram and called President Trump a 'low life fascist.' AP Advertisement The artist continued with a full second page of text slamming the US leader. 'He's masquerading as a Christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy,' White said, elsewhere blasting Trump's officials, Cheung and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 'His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis,' he said. 3 White House communications director Steven Cheung called White a loser after the former frontman made a statement to The Daily Beast earlier in the week mocking Trump's decorations in the Oval Office. WireImage In addition to two full pages of gripes against Trump in the social media post, White included a lengthy caption. 'I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration. I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it.' he said. Cheung responded to White's Instagram post, telling Fox News Digital, 'Trump Deranged liberals like him are so predictable and easily triggered. I'm glad we live rent-free in his rotted, pea-sized brain.'

Millie Bobby Brown Hinted at Her Plans to Adopt Months Before the Bombshell Announcement
Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi have welcomed a brand new addition to their fairly new family. On August 21, the 21-year-old Stranger Things star and her 23-year-old husband announced they welcomed a 'sweet baby girl through adoption' earlier this summer. 'We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,' they wrote in a joint Instagram note. 'And then there were 3,' the note continued, 'Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi. Millie Bobby Brown is pretty good at keeping secrets—and we're not just talking about Stranger Things spoilers. In May of last year, she managed to get married in private following her yearlong engagement to the son of rock star Jon Bon Jovi. Of course, news of their new addition should not come as too much of a shock, given that Brown has been outspoken about her desire to start building 'a big family' with Bongiovi. 'My mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19,' Brown said in a Smartless interview in March. 'And you know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake. Since I was a baby, I told my mom, like, baby dolls. I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me." She even hinted at her interest in adopting. 'I don't see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting,' she said at the time. 'For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I—our energy in the house is like, 'The door is always open.'' Celebrity Couples Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi: A Complete Relationship Timeline The 21-year-old *Stranger Things* star is officially a mom. Millie Bobby Brown 'dreamed' of being a mom well before she felt a desire to get married at all. 'I wanted to be the woman that my mom is to me, and I wanted to be the woman that my grandmother was to me,' the 2023 Woman of the Year told Glamour at 19 years old. She continued, 'So that was never my, like, intention, to be a wife. But after meeting Jake and seeing, 'Oh, I don't have to be this stereotypical wife for him. He doesn't want me to be that either. He wants me to go and do my thing and live my life, and he will hold my hand in the process of that,' I was like, 'Oh, I do want this.'' Congratulations to the Bongiovis. Women of the Year Millie Bobby Brown Is Not Your Girl Next Door At just 19, our global Woman of the Year honoree is building an empire. She doesn't care whether you think she's too young for world domination. Originally Appeared on Glamour

Lily Collins just shared a sneak peek at some of the amazing outfits we can expect from the new episodes, and fans understandably went wild. Just how enthusiastic are they? Well, her Instagram carousel racked up over 570,000 likes and 4300 comments in less than 12 hours. Yep, it's safe to say that Emily in Paris has a dedicated following. Because that post clearly won the algorithm yesterday, you might have missed something else Collins posted on IG this week: a laid-back, very non-Emily outfit. Posing next to the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, Collins wore a striped Celine Bra ($690) with an unbuttoned white shirt, white linen shorts, and black Hermès Oran Sandals ($840). Even though linen shorts are a close cousin to denim cutoffs, in my mind, they are far more elegant. Collins styled hers in a very casual way, but they can easily be dressed up with just a couple of swaps. On the other hand, it's trickier to make denim shorts look sophisticated, no matter your accessories. Scroll down to see Lily Collins's newest Italian outfit.
