Netizens react to Kanye West’s viral X post asking Donald Trump to free Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Some users were shocked, and even suspected Kanye West has a connection with Sean Comb's case. Others slammed him for his support to the jailed rapper.

“Kanye really has gone insane, either that or he’s involved with all the Diddy stuff,” a user said.

"That’s not gonna happen! Ye and Diddy are in the same league," another added.

"We definitely need to look deeper into Kanye West now that he has made this request," a person wrote.

A user felt Donald Trump wouldn't agree to Ye's request at any point, given the nature of the crime.

“No no no. Crimes against children were never on the table for pardons. You can talk about pardons for a lot of things, cool. Crimes against kids, you gotta face the full consequences. Kanye should be investigated for suggesting this,” a user wrote.

“Not a Chance. It violates the Prime Directive!!” another user added.

"Trump would lose respect from about 75% of the country," someone said, if Trump agrees to Ye's will.

A section of social media users demanded evidence from Kanye West to prove Sean Combs was innocent.

“Sure, no problem bro. Deliver to us all the evidence, videos or whatever you have to prosecute all the pedophiles related to Diddy's shenanigans and we might consider it. Much love brother,” a user said.

Since his inauguration on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump has issued pardons to almost 1,600 individuals convicted of federal criminal offenses, including the 2021 US Capitol riots, according to a report in BBC. Furthermore, he signed an order that directed the Department of Justice to drop all pending cases against suspects.
