Ye Asks Donald Trump to ‘Please Free My Brother Puff’ During Antisemitic, Hate-Filled Twitter Spree
Ye asked Donald Trump to 'please free my brother Puff' in reference to jailed hip-hop mogul Sean 'Puffy' Combs in the midst of a hate-filled rant.
In the midst of his hourslong spree of hate-filled, antisemitic, homophobic and ableist tweets on Friday morning (Feb. 7), Ye reached out to his friend President Donald Trump with a plea for the commander in chief to free disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Brown plead guilty to felony assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna after brutally beating the singer in 2009, for which he was sentence to five years probation, domestic violence counseling and six months of community service. In a statement on X, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt responded by calling the comments, “Another egregious display of antisemitism, racism and misogyny from Ye on his X account this morning… We condemn this dangerous behavior and need to call it what it is: a flagrant and unequivocal display of hate.” Some of West’s antisemitic post were amplified and re-shared by white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who joined Ye at the White House in 2018 for the meeting with Trump, who the rapper said at the time was like a “father” to him.
