‘They definitely trying to end us': Diddy tells Kanye West to ‘be careful' in alleged phone call from jail
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.

Henry Cavill confirms baby's gender months after birth in sweet update
Henry Cavill has revealed the gender of his baby with his partner Natalie Viscuso. The Justice League star, 41, and Viscuso, 35, first announced they were expecting in April of last year and in January, the couple was spotted with a pram with their newborn in Australia. The former Superman star has revealed that his first child is a daughter and mentioned her birth when asked about the most important time in his life. Speaking to British GQ, the actor said: 'My daughter being born, and the 5 of us [partner Natalie, daughter, Cavill and their two dogs] settling into our forever home.' The star has yet to reveal his daughter's name, and given his preference for privacy, it's unlikely that he will share this information for some time – or at all. In the same interview, he was also asked about where in the world he feels the most 'grounded', revealing it was at his home with his family. 'At home in the UK. I've found a very special place that speaks to my soul in so many ways,' he said. Henry and Natalie were first spotted with their baby in January on the Gold Coast of Australia, where Cavill was filming a live-action adaptation of Voltron. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Natalie seemed to be wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, suggesting that the couple may be headed towards marriage. Cavill first confirmed that they were expecting a baby in the spring of last year, when he told reporters at the premiere of his new movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, that he was thrilled at the prospect of becoming a father. 'I'm very excited about it. Natalie and I are both very excited about it. I'm sure you'll see much more of that,' Cavill told an Access Hollywood reporter when asked about the concept of fatherhood generally. When asked whether the depiction of fatherhood in his new film inspired him to become a parent, he responded: 'I mean, he didn't inspire me to do that. My parents did.' The couple has been together at least since 2021, when they made their relationship official with a post on Instagram of the pair playing chess. More Trending A month later in May 2021, the actor shared another post asking fans to allow him to keep his relationship with Natalie private. 'I know it can be fun to speculate, to gossip, and to dive into our own personal echo chambers on the internet, but your 'passion' is misplaced, and it causes harm to the people I care about most.' He then added: 'I am very happy in love, and in life. I'd be enormously grateful if you were happy with me.' The pair prefer to keep their relationship offline, with Natalie making infrequent appearances on Henry's social media, with the actor using his page primarily to promote his campaigns, TV shows, and films.

Meet Angel Swift, Love Island's New Bombshell
Just when we thought Love Island series 12 couldn't get any juicier, a plot twist is literally strutting into the villa. Meet Angel Swift, the bombshell no one saw coming. It's been confirmed that a brand new islander will be entering the villa, despite being close to the final. She may be arriving fashionably late, but she's certainly not here to play it safe. Her arrival in the villa comes amid chaos. Ex's Emma and Harry have teased a potential rekindling of their pre-villa relationship, with Harrison Solomon reportedly quitting the villa after his love triangle with Toni Laites and Lauren Wood came to a head. Angel Swift - whose full name is Angelique - is entering the villa as our latest bombshell. She describes herself as a self-confessed '10 out of 10' thanks to her good looks and personality, and while she says she's a girl's girl, she isn't afraid to step on toes. Opening up about joining the ITV show, Angel said, 'It's an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I'm ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love.' Angel is 26 years old, and she's from Maidstone, in Kent. Angel works as an Aesthetics Practitioner. She owns her own salon, named AngelFace, based in her hometown of Maidstone. The salon offers a range of different treatments, including facials, hair extensions, microneedling, lashes, nails, and waxing. It also offers some non-surgical cosmetic enhancement treatments, such as dermal fillers, fat dissolving injections, and vitamin injections. Alongside her day job, Angel is also a content creator and influencer. At the time of writing, she has over 119k followers on Instagram, with a healthy 6000 TikTok followers. Having been single for a year, Angel's more than ready to meet her man in the Love Island villa. Opening up about her type, Angel said she loves a 'tall, dark, and handsome' man with a 'nice smile.' Being family oriented is a must, too. The bombshell has already admitted that she has her sights set on Ty - who is currently coupled up with Lauren, after Toni re-coupled with Harrison. 'I'd like to get to know Ty and see what he's about,' she shared. It's a move that has left fans thinking her arrival could mean waving goodbye to another - questioning whether one islander will be brutally dumped tonight to make space for Angel. Revealing that she isn't afraid to step on toes, Angel shared, 'Breaking up another couple? That is what's going to happen, so it's quite exciting really. That's what I'm in there for.' 'I feel like people have been getting their heads turned very easily. I do feel like I have quite a good chance of turning someone's head.' As is often the case, it seems Angel already knows quite a few former Islanders. She is followed by season 10 winners Sammy Root and Jess Harding, as well as Nicole Samuel, Samantha Kenny, and Harriet Blackmore. She also seems to be good friends with Matilda Draper, who has comments on several of Angels posts. It also seems that she may know one of this year's islanders, too! She's followed by recent bombshell Giorgio Russo, who was dumped from the villa following Casa Amor. Yes! You can follow Angel over on Instagram @angeliqueswift, where she posts plenty of fashion inspo and luxe holiday content. To watch Angel cause chaos in the villa, tune in to Love Island at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. Charlotte Roberts is a news and entertainment writer at Grazia UK. She spends her days covering everything celebrity, culture, and entertainment.
