Kanye West steps in to back Diddy as juror controversy sparks debate

Kanye West has been a staunch supporter of Sean “Diddy” Combs since before the trial even began, and now the Flashing Lights singer marked just how serious he is with his latest move.

The controversial rapper showed up to the Federal District courthouse in Lower Manhattan where the trial is taking place, sticking close to Christian Combs, the Bad Boy Records founder’s son.

However, since West was not on the approved list of people allowed in the courtroom that day, he spent no more than 40 minutes at court before leaving.

The Stronger singer confirmed to the press reporters outside the venue that he was indeed there to support Combs.

Although West did not stay for long, the court proceedings after his departure were marked with surprising details, now a norm for the case.

Judge Subramanian, who is presiding over the case, noted of a male juror that there were "serious questions about his candor and ability to follow instructions."

The juror had been unclear about his place of residence, giving mixed answers enlisting New York and on other occasions New Jersey as his location.

The judge will give a ruling on him on the coming Monday.

What are the charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs?

Sean “Diddy” Combs was indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
