Kanye West's Brief Court Appearance for Diddy's Hearing

In Manhattan's federal court on Friday, Kanye West, now known as Ye, showed up to demonstrate his support for Sean "Diddy" Combs during Combs' sex-trafficking trial.

Unexpectedly arriving at the courthouse just past 11 a.m., the musician behind "Jesus Walks" was unable to enter the primary courtroom where the trial was progressing.

Ye found a seat in the front row of a secondary room on the building's 23rd floor when he was turned away from the primary courtroom located three floors higher, as reported by sources in the courtroom to Business Insider.

A courthouse source mentioned to BI that Ye's name wasn't included on Combs' allowed visitors list, which comprised acquaintances and family members.

"Ye bypassed the line that the general public had to go through," a source commented. "Everyone is required to follow the same procedures."

Adorned in a completely white ensemble, Ye stayed to witness approximately thirty minutes of the proceedings before departing.

The trial for Combs, encompassing charges of sex-trafficking and racketeering, is currently experiencing its fifth week.

Prosecutors anticipate concluding their arguments next week, giving way for Combs' legal team to start defending him before a twelve-member jury.
