Kanye West is throwing his support behind fellow hip-hop mogul Diddy.
Only this time, he canned an erratic rant on X and actually showed up at Diddy's sex trafficking trial in New York City on Friday morning.
He pulled up to the Lower Manhattan Court building rocking an all white Junya Watanabe x Levi's outfit with black shades on before greeting Diddy's son, Christian 'King' Combs, and entering the law building.
While walking past the media, he was asked if he was there to show support for Diddy, to which he nodded and said, 'Yes.'
ABC News reports that he and Combs then headed into the overflow room to watch some of the trial, but left after about 10 minutes, as more members of the media realized he was there.
When he left, he was asked if he planned to testify on Diddy's behalf, which he ignored.
West's appearance comes just a day after CNN reported that a source told them he was in touch with King Combs and wanted to show his support by sitting in. However, his visit came a little earlier than initially expected.
'The individual close to Combs noted West may attend when the defense begins their presentation,' CNN writes. 'Prosecutors in the case have said that their presentation is expected to wrap up next week, indicating that the defense could begin calling their own witnesses soon.'
West championing Diddy as he faces life behind bars for sex trafficking and RICO charges has escalated over the past few months. That included tweeting, ' CARTI BEAT CART BEAT WOMEN I BEAT WOMEN BUT EVERYBODY HATE DIDDY' in reference to the 2016 video of Diddy beating Cassie in the hallways of a Los Angeles hotel.
He even created a collaborative capsule collection between Yeezy and Sean John, and posted a jail phone conversation between the two, in which they showered each other with praise.
'I just want to thank you so much for taking care of my kids, man. 'Cause ain't nobody reach out to them. Ain't nobody call them. And that meant so much that you reached out and took them under your wing,' Diddy told Ye.

Manhunt continues for Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter
Around 24 hours after police say a gunman killed a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband, plus wounded another lawmaker and his wife, suspect Vance Boelter remains on the run, authorities have said. The shootings began around 2 a.m. Saturday, when Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were both shot multiple times at their home in Champlin, Minnesota, authorities said. Soon after, State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed at their home in Brooklyn Park. Police encountered the gunman leaving Hortman's house at around 3:35 a.m., the officers heading there to check on the lawmaker after responding to the earlier shooting at Hoffman's home. The suspect exchanged gunfire with police and was able to escape and flee on foot, authorities said. The FBI is "using every available resource to locate Vance Boelter," FBI Minneapolis Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. said in a statement. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Boelter's arrest. The 57-year-old suspect is alleged to have gained access to the victim's homes while posing as a police officer. Police believe that when the shooter opened fire, he was wearing a latex mask that looked realistic, sources said. Boelter -- a husband and father, according to an online biography -- has touted an extensive background in security and military training, according to an ABC News review of his online presence and professional history. Boelter helped lead the private security firm Praetorian Guard Security Services, which is based in the Twin Cities area, according to the company website. Dozens of Minnesota Democrats were on a target list written by the gunman, according to law enforcement sources. Those on the list included Gov. Tim Walz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and state Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter. Police said the list -- which was retrieved from the suspect's vehicle, which looked like a police vehicle and had police lights -- also named Hortman and Hoffman. Both victims are Democrats and Hortman was formerly the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives. The shooter's list of potential targets also included the names of abortion providers and pro-choice activists, several sources told ABC News. Many of the Democratic lawmakers on the list have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions, two sources said.
