Kanye West Calls Diddy His ‘Twin’ In Strange Throwback Post

The Yeezy boss took to X to share a throwback photo of Diddy and his ex-partner Jennifer Lopez on the Grammys red carpet in 2,000, calling the Bad Boy Records founder his “twin.”

It comes after Kanye West called on President Donald Trump to release Diddy ahead of his May 5 trial for allegedly sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

West caused a stir online after calling embattled rapper Diddy his “twin.”

In the early hours of Sunday morning, he shared a throwback photo of Diddy on the Grammy Awards red carpet with his former partner Jennifer Lopez, rocking her iconic green Versace dress.

“REMEMBER WHEN J LO PULLED UP TO THE RED CARPET WITH MY TWIN,” West captioned the post.

This raised eyebrows as fans took to the rapper’s comment section to pen their reactions.

“Why does Kanye want to associate with Diddy?” a person asked. Another sarcastically wrote, “Yeah, my twin !!! The guy on trial for [allegedly] raping little boys and beating the daylights out of his girlfriend! Besties.”

“[I don’t know] if now is a good time to be twining with Puff XD,” a third individual shared.

Another warned West of his remarks, writing, “You don’t want to be associated with those people.”

One more individual slammed West’s comments by sharing a photo of a news headline about him being “accused of drugging and sexually assaulting” his former personal assistant at a Diddy party.

West’s support for Diddy implies that the former feuding rappers have mended their broken relationship.

The Yeezy owner recently called for him to be released, going as far as begging President Donald Trump to “free Puff” while also revealing he was releasing a clothing line in collaboration with Diddy’s Sean John brand.

“Thank you to my brother @Ye,” Diddy replied to West’s post, sharing a link to the Yeezy website.

Diddy has been locked behind bars at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he faces several sex crime charges.

In one of his many social media rants, West claimed that racism was the cause of Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles.

The “Carnival” rapper, who’d been away from the country for long because he reportedly feared being dragged into Diddy’s case, likened the music mogul’s legal battle with his antisemitic scandal, suggesting Diddy was being ousted as the frontman of global alcoholic drinks giant, Diageo.

Using racist slurs and targeting the Jewish community, he wrote, “ALL YOU PLEEEEEASE COME AT ME THATS HOW WE SPOT THE K-ONS LET THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY F-CK DIAGEO AND F-CK ALL YALL N–GAS IN ADVANCE.”

He went further to pinpoint racism as the reason why Diddy is currently going through his troubles before writing, “JUST FOR CLARITY THEY TYRING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF PUFF ME AND MY BROTHER HAD OUR ISSUES BUT THESE WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO USE PUFF TO SCARE N–GAS IM NEITHER SCARED NOR BRAVE THIS JUST ME.”

The father of four seemingly angered many fans when he made a controversial take on the viral video where Diddy was seen hitting and stomping on his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

West shared a screenshot of a scene from the video which saw Diddy in white towels and Cassie bending to gather her things. He wrote, “You have to truly be in love to get to the point of risking everything.”

His controversial take prompted a community notes comment by the platform that read, “This is not Love. This is Sean “Diddy” Combs violently assaulting his girlfriend at the time, Cassie,” with a link to the viral video that was shared by CNN at the time.

“Are you saying this shows he truly loves her?” an X user wrote in the comment section, while another said, “Keep that same energy when men treat North and Chicago that way.”

Before West’s shocking posts about Diddy, reports claimed that his extended stay abroad was due to his fear of being dragged into Diddy’s legal scandal and his own lawsuits.

In January, a source told the Daily Mail that West was “terrified” of coming back to the U.S.

“Kanye’s reasoning for not being [in America] has nothing to do with his children and has everything to do with the multiple lawsuits that he is facing in the States,” the source said.

“With all this stuff with Diddy, Kanye is terrified,” the sources continued, referencing the ongoing sex crime charges that have been leveled against Diddy.
