Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial: Kanye West makes surprise appearance to support hip-hop mogul and longtime friend | Watch

Kanye West, now known as Rapper Ye, has raised eyebrows after making a brief and surprise entry at Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' trial. Ye attended the court proceedings, reportedly to support Diddy, but was not allowed to enter the main courtroom where the proceedings were ongoing, according to an Insider report. The rapper made a surprise appearance at the courthouse shortly after 11 am on Friday, but was unable to reach the 26th floor, where the proceedings were taking place.

Ye then took to settling in the front row of an overcrowded room on the 23rd floor. According to Business Insider, Ye was not among the approved list of family members or friends who could get an entry into the main courtroom. He then had to resort to watching the proceedings on a screen, a court source claimed. Ye was accompanied by his bodyguard and another Combs supporter during the hearing of the testimony in the courthouse. 

Ye wore an outfit of all-white denim, and was present in the courthouse for about half an hour of hearing testimonies before he left. When he was present there, Jonathan Perez, a former PA working for Combs, was on the witness stand, providing his testimony.
