“FREE PUFF” — Kanye West’s bizarre rant on X shakes up the Internet

Rapper Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori made a dramatic style statement at Sunday’s 67th Annual Grammy Awards that shocked almost everyone, to say the least. Bianca’s polarising wardrobe choice on the red carpet sparked off frenzied discussions on social media, and the outfit led to her being the most Googled person on Earth.

In the wake of all this, Ye launched a tirade on X, using the platform to voice all that's currently on his mind. His posts included a show of support for Chris Brown. There was also a plea to “FREE PUFF” — a reference to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in jail on charges of s*x trafficking and racketeering. In one post, Ye appealed to President Donald Trump, too, to "free my Brother Puff." Another post apparently had the rough cut of a new song . Ye also unfollowed Taylor Swift and followed Diddy shortly thereafter on X.

Kanye launches rought cut of song

Ye immediately followed up the initial tweet with the drop of what appears to be the rough cut of a new song with rapper Ty Dolla $ign. In the video the pair appears alongside a third person in a parking lot with expensive cars.

Ye appeals to President Trump

After a subsequent piercing and derogatorily worded tweet, in which he chastized celebrity counterparts for letting Diddy “ROT”, he went on to appeal to President Donald Trump for support. @Kanyewest wrote:

"@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF."

In another shocking tweet that followed, Kanye referenced Chris Brown’s past, suggesting he regrets not standing up for the singer when the industry tried to cancel him for his assault on mogul and artist Rihanna. He then posted what would definitely seem like one of his most controversial opinions ever, writing:

Ye tirades continued, with subjects ranging from corporate America to Diageo, and from the Jewish community to his own community who, he felt, didn’t have his back. Post outbursts, he finally made the announcement of a collaboration with Diddy’s Sean John fashion label, announcing the profits would be split 50/50 between the two. He wrote:

Once he was done on X, Ye then took to Instagram. Ye used the platform to post a FaceTime conversation with Diddy’s son, Christian.

The caption to the post reads:

“A SON TO HIS DAD FOR EVERY SON WHO DAD IS LOCKED UP WRITE OR WRONG I WANT YALL TO LISTEN TO DAVE CHAPELLES JOKES VERY CLOSE THIS TIME LETS SEE HOW FUNNY IT GETS WHEN FAMILIES ARE SEPARATED ESPECIALLY BLACK FAMILIES”
