Kanye West has launched a new Sean John collaboration, revealing that the deal was discussed with Sean “Diddy” Combs before the Bad Boy Records founder’s recent legal troubles. The 47-year-old rapper and fashion mogul took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he and Combs will share the profits equally.
“I’m selling the Sean John collaboration that my brother and I spoke about before they locked him up. We’re splitting the profits 50/50,” Ye posted on Friday, sharing a link to Yeezy.com, where the collection is available.

The collaboration features a selection of red, white, and blue T-shirts, marking a significant moment in both artists’ longstanding relationship in fashion and music. The items are exclusively available through Yeezy.com.
West’s announcement came after he made a public appeal for Combs’ release, directing a message to former U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday night: “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.”
What happened to Sean John Diddy?
Combs, 54, is currently facing serious legal charges, including allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. He was recently transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to a hospital due to knee complications, which reportedly stem from his participation in the New York City Marathon. TMZ reports that he underwent an MRI to assess the issue. His trial is set to begin in May.
Ye’s Social Media Spree
In addition to advocating for Diddy’s freedom, West aimed at the music industry’s treatment of fellow artist Chris Brown. In another post, he expressed regret for not standing up for Brown during previous controversies.
“WE ALL WATCHED THEM TRY TO CANCEL CHRIS BROWN AND AIN’T NOBODY DO NOTHING. I WAS PUSSY THEN TOO. CHRIS BROWN, IT’S TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF,” Ye wrote.
While the motive behind West’s latest online activity remains unclear, his vocal support for Diddy has fueled ongoing speculation about Combs’ legal challenges and their impact on his legacy.
