Kanye West Declares Diddy His “Idol” In Unhinged Twitter Rant

 

Kanye West, known for his unpredictable and often controversial behavior, shocked the internet once again with an explosive social media rant on Thursday night. The rapper, who has never shied away from making bold statements, took to his platform to declare Diddy, a figure currently mired in controversy, as his “idol.”

 

 

The tirade began with a cryptic post: “Free Puff,” signaling his support for Diddy amid the mogul’s growing legal troubles. West didn’t stop there. He accused unnamed powers of using Diddy as a scapegoat, claiming, “Ya’ll fcking know that and sitting laughing at the fcking internet on Instagram.” This statement set the tone for a rant that spiraled into even more unexpected territory.

 

West’s declaration of admiration for Diddy stunned even his most loyal followers. “This man gave his life to us,” he wrote passionately. “This my idol. This my hero.” His words came as a surprise, especially considering Diddy’s tarnished public image. The backlash was swift, with many questioning West’s judgment and motives.

 

Adding fuel to the fire, Kanye revisited his past controversies, including his infamous “slavery was a choice” comment. “I’m speaking my mind now. I ain’t ever editing sh*t again,” he defiantly posted. This unapologetic stance only heightened the intensity of his rant.

 

In a bizarre twist, West announced a new business venture with Diddy’s brand, Sean John. Despite Diddy’s legal issues, West claimed they had planned a collaboration before Diddy’s recent troubles. He revealed that the merchandise, a Yeezy and Bad Boy partnership, would be split 50/50. “Like we discussed before they locked him up,” Kanye stated, alluding to Diddy’s legal entanglements.

 

Surprisingly, Diddy (or at least someone managing his social media) responded positively. Reposting West’s merchandise link, he expressed gratitude: “Thank you to my brother @Ye.” This public acknowledgment added another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.

 

Kanye West has weathered countless controversies, but this latest episode leaves fans and critics alike wondering: how far is too far? As the public grapples with West’s provocative declarations, one thing remains clear—Kanye knows how to keep the world watching.
