Diddy warns Kanye West to ‘be careful' in alleged phone call from jail: ‘They definitely trying to end us'
The embattled music mogul and rapper, 55, is currently being held at a federal detention center in New York City as he awaits trial for a litany of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all of the allegations.
'This s*** is wicked, wicked, wicked. So you be careful,' Combs told West, 47, in a recording of an apparent phone call shared Monday on Instagram by The Shade Room.
'I need you out there, you feel me?' he continued. 'And have some f***ing fun, because we not having no fun in in here. Get back behind the mic, have some fun, chop up them samples.
'Have some fun. Get back to smiling. F*** these other motherf***ers. They'll waste your time,' he said.
'So put that love in your heart, and enjoy yourself, man. When I get out there, man, I want to see you f***ing tear down the stadiums. I need to see you back on that stage, actually rapping and actually performing and everything. I be dreaming of that s***.'
West concurred: 'Yeah, it's time for me to grab the mic and get back [out there]. I love music again. There was a time when everything was so frustrating. I can't even explain it.'
Telling West to 'jump in [his] bag,' Combs said: 'We gonna have years and decades to f***ing fight these motherf***ers.'
He further encouraged West to return to his music roots, saying: 'Right now, enjoy your life. This is coming from me to God to you. Fall back in love like when you was making the beats in the Chi,' referring to West's hometown of Chicago.
'So I love you, man, I appreciate you, and thanks again. I'm gonna see you soon,' he said, with West replying: 'Yes, sir. That's how it's gonna be. You gonna definitely beat this s***.'
'But I'm gonna call you back. It'll be good to hear your voice again. I got like 59 more days before trial, so I'll definitely be touching in to tap into your energy or something. Play me some s*** over the phone. Give me some f***ing life. This s*** is f***ing sad. I'm Puf Daddy in jail.'
'This s*** insane,' West replied, after which Combs claimed: 'The devil is a liar.'
He again warned West to 'be careful out there,' because 'they definitely trying to end us.'
'I'm gonna beat this s*** and get next to you. We gon' raise our families and become the kings that we supposed to be,' Combs added.
The Independent has reached out to representatives for both West and Combs for comment.
West, who is embroiled in several controversies of his own, has been a fervant supporter of Combs, who has since been hit with a string of additional lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, sexual abuse and harassment following his initial September arrest.
Earlier this week, the 'Flashing Lights' rapper released a new song featuring Combs and his eldest daughter, North.
West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian has reportedly threatened to take legal action against him for going against her wishes and releasing the song.

Michail Antonio admits he doesn't remember anything from horror crash that almost killed West Ham legend
MICHAIL ANTONIO admits he has NO recollection of the awful crash that almost took his life. The West Ham legend smashed his Ferrari into a tree last December - leaving him with a serious lower leg fracture and lucky to be alive. 5 5 He was airlifted to hospital and rushed into surgery and spent the rest of the season fighting to get back on his feet. Antonio, 35, spent three weeks in hospital as he began his recovery. But the striker revealed he cannot remember it. Speaking on the Beast Mode On Podcast with Adebayo Akinfenwa, Antonio said: 'What's crazy about it, everybody in the world experienced that crash more than me. "Even though I was in it, I didn't live it because I don't remember anything about it. "I don't remember the crash, I don't remember being in the hospital, I don't remember going in for the operation, I don't remember coming out of the operation. "There were loads of emotions coming through, my body remembers stuff even though my mind doesn't. "What I've learnt from the car crash is football 's important, but your health is more important." 5 5 Following the accident, Antonio was adamant he would play football again. And he finally made his big comeback in June, playing as a substitute for Jamaica in the Gold Cup group stage, losing to Guatemala in California. Now Antonio says he has tried to find the positives from the accident, insisting 'the crash was also a blessing'. And he revealed a tearful moment listening to a Beyonce song with his kids helped change his perspective. He added: "I was in Dubai with my kids, my daughter loves Beyonce, [and the song] I Was Here. "I've listened to it so many times but since the car crash, I listened to it and I was just sitting there, in a room with my kids but I've gone into a corner and I was crying. "Those words, when you've been through what I've been through, when you've nearly died. When I was listening to it, I've gone. "Now I'm at that stage where I'm going to bring myself happiness. I'm going to do whatever needs to be done. "As much as the crash was a curse, it was also a blessing. It's brought so many things to light and made me more focused and driven to do what needs to be done." 5 Antonio is the Hammers' all-time top scorer in the Premier League, having scored 68 goals in 268 games. His contract with the club expired on 30th June but he hopes to continue playing. West Ham confirmed last month that Antonio will be listed as a free transfer but stressed they remain fully behind him during his comeback. A statement read: 'Given Michail Antonio's unique situation following his serious road traffic accident. "There will be no formal decision on his future until such time that it is considered right and appropriate. 'As a long-serving, highly-respected player and a much-loved member of the West Ham family. "The club's absolute priority is to support Michail personally in his journey to resume playing at the highest level.'

Kneecap and Brian Eno call on artists to join syndicate to support Palestine
They, along with campaign group Led By Donkeys, have all posted the same message on Instagram, calling on other artists who fear they will be 'threatened into silence or career cancellation' for talking about Palestine to join them in a syndicate. Massive Attack and Brian Eno have long spoken out in support of Palestine, while Kneecap have made headlines in recent months after one of their members was charged with a terrorism offence relating to allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. The Irish rap group claim this is part of a smear campaign against them because of their vocal support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which they say is a genocide. 'The scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description,' the post read. 'We write as artists who've chosen to use our public platforms to speak out against the genocide occurring there and the role of the UK Government in facilitating it. 'Because of our expressions of conscience, we've been subject to various intimidations from within our industry (live and recorded) and legally via organised bodies such as UK Lawyers For Israel. 'Having withstood these campaigns of attempted censorship, we won't stand by and allow other artists – particularly those at earlier stages of their careers or in other positions of professional vulnerability – to be threatened into silence or career cancellation. 'In this spirit, we encourage artists who've been placed in this position, or those who now wish to use their platforms to talk about Palestine, but are concerned about industrial repercussions, to contact us @ ethicalsyndicatepalestine@ The Instagram post also made a series of demands, including an immediate ceasefire, an end to UK arms sales and licences to Israel, and a free Palestine. A spokeswoman for UK Lawyers For Israel (UKLFI) accused Massive Attack of having 'launched an attack on our organisation, which helps to protect victims of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel racism'. Kneecap performing on the West Holts Stage during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset (Yui Mok/PA) She said that following Massive Attack's set at London's Lido Festival in June, 'we were contacted by several Jewish and Israeli audience members who were deeply distressed and traumatised' after the act invited an 'anti-Israel activist' on stage. Kneecap performed to a sea of Palestinian flags during their set at Glastonbury Festival in June. Their performance followed that of punk rap duo Bob Vylan, who spoke out against Israel. Police have since launched an investigation into the group, formed in Ipswich in 2017, after their frontman led crowds in chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their set at the Somerset music festival. Kneecap's Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged in May, and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on August 20.
