While much of the world has already ruled Sean βDiddyβ Combs guilty of abuse, human trafficking, and additional sexual misconduct, it seems thereβs still a few folks in his corner. From Kanye West to Boosie Badazz, many celebrities have spoken out in defense of the disgraced mogul whoβs federal trial is rapidly approaching.

Ma$e
During an episode of his βIt Is What It Isβ podcast with fellow rapper Camβron, Ma$e said that if he had the chance, he would check on his old friend. βI mean, if my name was on the [visitation] list, Iβd go visit Puff,β he said.
βThese are the times when you need people to check up and make sure youβre good.β Ma$e continued saying just because he would pay Diddy a visit doesnβt mean he supports the allegations against him. βNot that I condone anything that he allegedly did,β he said. βUntil they prove it, you want to make sure that you donβt be like one of those people that [condemns] somebody [who] did good for you.β
To the rapperβs point, Combs was instrumental in Ma$eβs success in the music industry. βHe didnβt do all bad, he did some good. He definitely did some good.β
Amber Rose
While on the βClub Shay Shayβ podcast, Amber Rose got candid about what she saw all the times she attended Diddyβs notorious parties. In fact, the TV personality said she never saw anything out of order during a Puffy party. βIf these freak-offs are happening, itβs on a completely different day than the actual Puff parties,β she began.
She then clarified that just because she didnβt witness anything doesnβt mean it never happened. βIβve never seen none of that stuff, but thatβs not to say that it does not happen or invalidate people.β At the same time, Rose said she doesnβt believe everything on the internet. βI donβt know, because the internet is fake,β she continued.
βOne thing I do know about Puff is that heβs an abuser. You know, he abused Cassie,β she stated. βWe all saw the video, it is not okay. But as far as the freak-offs, I donβt know about that.β
Kanye West
Kanye βYeβ West recently doubled and tripled down on his support for Puffy. In a series of X rants, Ye wrote βPUFF WE LOVE YOU.β He even tagged President Donald Trump, begging him to βPLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.β
If that wasnβt enough, the Chicago rapper also dropped a song titled, βLonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,β featuring his daughter North West, Diddy, Christian βKingβ Combs, and Jasmine Williams, as The Root previously reported. Soon afterwards, a leaked call between West and Diddy β during which the two rappers showed their love for the other β sent the internet into an uproar.
Boosie Badazz
When Combs was first arrested, Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz came to his defense, tweeting βi feel DIDDY N JAIL FOR BASICALLY DOING WHAT EVERY OTHER FAMOUS ENTERTAINER HAS DONE.β He continued saying βBUT FACING βLIFE N PRISON βFOR DOING BASICALLY WHAT SO MANY OTHER ENTERTAINER HAS DONE #idisagree.β
Most recently, Boosie had more to say on the matter. βPUFF DO DESERVE A BOND #ibeensaidit,β he tweeted just last month. βHE AINT KILL NOBODY N PEOPLE WHO KILL PEOPLE STILL GET BONDS SOMETIMES.β
Diddy remains behind bars waiting for his trial, which has been rescheduled to start May 12.
