The troubled Chicago-born rapper, 48, has publicly supported Combs since his arrest in September 2024. Diddy risks a SECOND trial even if he wins over jury members but won't chance 'waterfall of pain' on stand, expert says In February, West posted on X, "FREE PUFF." West's brief appearance comes after Thursday's proceedings were delayed as prosecutors and the defense discussed several issues with Judge Subramanian in the robing room. One of the concerns the defense raised was the potential presence of an individual who was not on their list for the day. The defense asked the court to notify the US Marshals not to allow that person to be present in the gallery. History of Kanye West and Sean Combs' relationship Kanye West has kept in contact with Sean Combs after his arrest in September 2024. A brief history of West and Combs' history in the music industry: Early 2000s: In multiple interviews, Kanye West acknowledged the role Combs played in shaping and inspiring his career in music. 2006: The two first collaborated on a song in 2006, when West produced Combs' track Everything I Love, which was featured on his Press Play album. 2015: Combs produced West's single All Day. 2022: West presented Combs with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards. 2022: Their relationship collapsed after Combs criticised West's "White Lives Matter" T-shirt that he wore at a Paris fashion show. February 2025: West proclaimed his support for Combs and urged President Donald Trump on X to free his "brother Puff." March 2025: West shared his jailhouse call with Combs on his X account. In the call, Combs, who is being housed in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, scolded West and advised him to tap back into his old roots and get back to rapping. The individual was not identified and did not attend Thursday's proceedings. JUROR DISMISSED At the end of Friday's proceeding and after the jury was dismissed for the weekend, Judge Subramanian ruled to remove a juror, who prosecutors argued lacked honesty in his communication with the court. The judge moved to dismiss Juror #6, a 41-year-old Black male, due to inconsistencies about his current residency. Judge Subramanian told the prosecution and defense that he reviewed the transcript of the juror's answers during voir dire, or jury selection. The prospective jurors are sworn in before the selction process begins so attorneys can assess their biases, prejudices, or any other potential issues that might prevent them from serving. In voir dire, the juror told Judge Subramanian that he lived in the Bronx with his fiancee and daughter. However, when the juror was questioned in the robing room after prosecutors raised their concerns to the court, the man told the judge he just moved to New Jersey with his girlfriend. He then told the judge that his daughter had been living in New Jersey, before switching his answer, saying she lived in the Bronx with his aunt. The judge told prosecutors and the defense that the juror just "wanted to be on the jury." "The juror is shading answers to stay in the jury," Judge Subramanian said. Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson raised the issue that the juror's dismissal will make the jury less diverse. Donaldson accused the prosecution of being biased of African American and Hispanic jurors. "We taken a step with this jury, now we're talking a step backward. Some say Black and Hispanic jurors don't answer the call," Donaldson argued. Government prosecutors slammed Donaldson's claims, arguing the prosecution's focus is "the integrity of the proceeding" and not about race. The judge said he will consider defense's arguments and will address the court on Monday if he changes his ruling. 7 PROSECUTION TO REST CASE SOON The prosecution, which has called 28 witnesses to testify against Combs, so far, is expected to rest its case the week of June 16. The trial, which began with opening statements on May 12, is expected to run through the first week of July. Prosecutors have presented damning evidence against Combs, whom they accuse of running a decades-long criminal enterprise with the help of an inner circle of assistants and security officers. Combs allegedly wielded his power and influence to hide alleged sexual and physical abuse of his former assistants and ex-girlfriends, including singer Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, according to prosecutors. Ventura testified about the physical and mental abuse she endured at the hands of Combs, whom she accused of forcing her into drug-fueled sex marathons with male escorts, which he called "freak offs, hotel nights, and wild king nights." Another of Combs' ex-girlfriends, a single mother who was identified under the pseudonym Jane, also told jurors about how the Bad Boy Records executive pitched her to participate in a "freak off" with him. 7 7 'PANDORA'S BOX' Jane, who first met the music mogul in late 2020, said on the stand how she "opened Pandora's box" after agreeing to Combs' request. She told the jury she thought it was something they would do just that one time. "I felt excited, I was happy, it was taboo, it was fun, I had a good time with my partner," Jane said. "I truly felt that that night just opened like a Pandora's box in the relationship. "It just completely set the tone for our relationship moving forward." The sexual encounters with different men, which she said her and Combs called "hotel nights" or "debaucheries," continued throughout their relationship, which went on until Combs' arrest in September 2024. Jane testified that she told Combs verbally and in writing that she did not want to have sex with other men, but he was dismissive. "Whenever the topic came up it would start out really uncomfortable," she said on the stand. "I could just feel that the tension was building and I would just kind of push down what I was going to say." Jane described to jurors that she felt "frustrated" and "obligated" to continue appeasing Combs and "perform these nights for him." The witness said Combs paid the rent for her home, and when she tried to tell him she did not want to have sex with other men, he would threaten to stop paying her rent. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him.

Noah Cyrus channels Bianca Censori in see-through dress at Stagecoach Festival
Noah Cyrus left little to the imagination, channelling Bianca Censori in a sparkly see-through dress at the Stagecoach Festival 2025. During her performance, the 25-year-old nearly bared it all, wearing just a skimpy bottom underneath, reported The US Sun. On Sunday, Noah took the stage alongside musical group Midland in California. She served a bold and risque look as her completely sheer dress featured a thigh-high slit. The All Falls Down singer completed her outfit with a pair of clear heels. Also Read: Ohana Festival 2025: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Green Day, Hozier to headline Although her choice of outfit, which fell in line with Censori's style, sparked a debate online, this was not the first time Noah turned heads in racy attire. Earlier this month, she rocked a similar sheer lacy dress during her performance with Shaboozey at Coachella. Shortly after Noah's outfit went viral on TikTok, fans erupted into a debate, with one saying, 'That is not something that should have been worn to stagecoach I'm sorry,' per Parade. 'This isn't the first time she's performed like that lol,' one more added.

Kanye West poses with Bianca Censori in risque photo after his incest confession
Kanye West has posted a new picture with wife Bianca Censori after he made a shock confession that he had a sexual relationship with his cousin as a child. Following rumours they had split, it appears the US rapper and Yeezy architect are still an item, as West posted a picture of them united on his X. The picture shows West wearing a black hoodie and trousers, with Censori in another scantily-clad outfit, comprised of a silver bodysuit and thigh-high black boots. This comes as the controversial All Falls Down hitmaker, 47, took to social media explaining the meaning of his upcoming song called COUSINS, shocking fans with his admissions. 'This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that's locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn't 'look at dirty magazines together' anymore,' the US rapper wrote on social media. 'Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw. 'My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different. 'My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins d**k till I was 14,' he added. West, who now goes by Ye, also shared a snippet of the song and video, which featured disjointed clips including a semi-pornographic tattoo of a woman with swastika symbols on her nipples. West did not reveal which cousin he was talking about, but did talk about the a family member on Jimmy Kimmel in 2018. 'My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him,' the rapper said during a rant about approaching Donald Trump with love. While his cousin's identity is not known, West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian previously talked about a cousin on Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project in 2020. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Speaking to Marc Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University's Prisons and Justice Initiative, Kim said: '[Kanye's] cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17. She added that Kanye's aunt has accepted her son's fate and added: 'She's like, 'I'm not even that distraught anymore. Like, that's just what happens to the kids in our neighbourhood.' There's just no other choice.' Apart from these two mentions of West's cousin, they have never been publicly referred to by him or associates before. Over the past few years, West has caused uproar with his problematic views and statements, and has perhaps become more associated with parading around his wife Bianca Censori naked, than for any recent music. However their marriage is now the focus of West's upcoming album, titled WW3, which includes a track called BIANCA. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In it, West appears to confirm their reported breakup and reveals she attempted to get him help, as he rapped: 'My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital 'cause I am not sick I just do not get it. 'She's having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted / Until Bianca's back I stay up all night I'm not going to sleep / I really don't know where she's at.' The track also features claims that Bianca left after Kanye had tracked her location, with the lyrics stating: 'I'm tracking my b***h through an app / I'm tracking my b***h through the city. 'She hop in the car and she ran / My b***h just don't understand / Sometimes it just feel like it's planned.' He also took aim at Bianca's family, rapping that they want him 'locked up' while also pleading: 'Bianca, I just want you to come back / Come back to me / I know what I did to make you mad.' This came after reports suggested the model and Yeezy architect wanted to end their relationship because it had become 'an aggressive situation'. A source told Page Six: 'She's gotta go, but he's obsessed with her. It's been hard for her to get [out on her own] and move around.' Got a story?

Kanye West flees to Tokyo to ‘decompress' after vulgar social media rants that may land him in legal trouble
Kanye West has fled to Tokyo to 'decompress' after his vulgar and controversial social media rants against his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z's children. Insiders told TMZ Monday that the 'Bound 2' rapper traveled from Los Angeles to Japan last week and 'instantly calmed down.' Sources claimed that being in Tokyo makes West feel 'completely disconnected and calm,' while LA 'can be a trigger' for him. According to the report, the Yeezy designer's wife, Bianca Censori, checked out of the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood on Monday, though it's unclear whether she plans to join her husband amid their marital woes. The 24-time Grammy winner's most recent social media antics started on March 15 when he got into a heated argument with Kardashian over the release of a song featuring their eldest child, North West, Christian 'King' Combs and Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Kanye, 47, uploaded an alleged screenshot of a text exchange between himself and Kardashian, 44, discussing the trademark of the 11-year-old's name. 'I sent paperwork over so she wouldn't be in the Diddy song to protect her,' the 'Kardashians' star wrote, adding, 'One person has to trademark!' 'Amend it or I'm going to war,' Kanye responded. 'And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.' 'You're going to have to kill me,' he concluded. The 'Heartless' rapper later took to X to accuse the 'Kardashian mob' of restricting his parenting and attempting to put him in jail. Sources told Page Six that Kardashian wants to keep the kids away from their father's controversial behavior and doesn't want North professionally tied to Diddy. According to TMZ, the Skims mogul is contemplating stripping Kanye of joint custody. Kanye and Kardashian — who finalized their divorce in 2022 — share four kids: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. Last week, a video surfaced of Kanye on a phone call with Diddy, who warned the 'All Falls Down' rapper of people who were 'trying to end [them].' The Bad Boys Records founder, 55, also thanked Kanye for showing up for his kids as he sits behind bars awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The 'Stronger' rapper's controversies continued the next day when he inexplicably questioned the mental capacity of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's twins, Rumi and Sir, 7. Kanye later backtracked on his disrespectful remarks out of fear that his X account would be suspended. Page Six learned that the music power couple is 'discussing' taking legal action against Kanye for the 'offensive and vulgar' attack.

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian feud as he drops new song featuring daughter North, Sean ‘Diddy' Combs
Kanye West got into a heated argument with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over a song seemingly featuring their eldest daughter, North West, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Combs' son Christian 'King' Combs. The 'All Falls Down' hitmaker — who now goes by Ye — shared the new track, which is titled 'Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,' on X (formerly Twitter) Saturday, but Kardashian tried to get a judge to stop it from being released. In a since-deleted tweet, Kanye shared a screenshot showing what appeared to be a recent text message exchange with his ex-wife. The rapper seemed furious about the SKIMS founder trademarking their daughter's name, as he told Kardashian, 'I'm never speaking with you again,' per TMZ. Kardashian responded, 'I asked you at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she's 18, it goes to her. So stop.' 'I sent paperwork over so she wouldn't be in the Diddy song to protect her,' she continued, adding, 'One person has to trademark!' The 'Kardashians' star then appeared to remind the rapper of an agreement they made that she would trademark all of their children's names so 'no one else would take them.' 'Amend it or I'm going to war,' Kanye responded. 'And neither of us will recover from the public fallout.' 'You're going to have to kill me,' he closed. Sources familiar with the situation reportedly corroborated Kardashian's claim that she sent paperwork to the Yeezy designer, 47. They told the outlet that Kardashian, 44, sent letters demanding a cease and desist and even went so far as to have an emergency mediation with a mediator and a judge, but the insiders said Kanye did not join. However, he did allegedly promise to not release the song. The sources said Kardashian doesn't want her daughter involved in Ye's latest controversial moves, nor does she want North's name tied to the disgraced music mogul's legal problems. The song reportedly came about after North went to the studio with her father — reportedly marking the first time the dad of four had seen any of his children in weeks — where she recorded vocals that the producer then put on the song with Diddy. He allegedly told his daughter, 11, he would release the single at his upcoming Sunday Service. She can be heard on the song rapping, 'When you see me shining, then you see the light.' Reps for Kanye declined to comment upon Page Six's request. Reps for Kardashian and Diddy did not immediately respond to Page Six's request. A source, however, told us, 'Kim's priority is the well-being and safety of her children and to protect them from being around Kanye's controversial behavior.' The rapper made his stance on Diddy's ongoing legal troubles clear last month as he took to X (formerly Twitter) to advocate for the Bad Boy Records founder's release. 'FREE PUFF,' he posted in capital letters. 'ALL THESE CELEBRITY N—-S AND BITCHES IS P—Y YALL A WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S–T,' he continued. The Grammy winner additionally shared a clip to Instagram showing a FaceTime call with Christian, 26, who was seen smiling and talking in the clip with Ye, but his voice was unclear. '… FOR EVERY SON WHO DAD IS LOCKED UP WRITE [sic] OR WRONG I WANT YALL TO LISTEN TO DAVE CHAPELLES JOKES VERY CLOSE THIS TIME,' Kanye captioned the video. 'LETS SEE HOW FUNNY IT GETS WHEN FAMILIES ARE SEPARATED ESPECIALLY BLACK FAMILIES.' He then followed Diddy's Instagram account — and currently, he still is along with Christian and Diddy's other son Justin 'Prince' Dior Combs' Instagram pages.
