Kanye West tipped to release new music with P Diddy

Disgraced rappers Kanye West and Sean “Diddy” Combs have a messy past with an ongoing feud between their families. Now they are tipped to be reuniting for a reason.

It’s only a matter of time before disgraced rappers Kanye West and Sean “Diddy” Combs release a full song — potentially even an album.

According to a source close to Diddy, who was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution — but acquitted of more serious charges — will likely fully collaborate with the equally-cancelled West, who now goes by Ye.

“Music was a salvation for him, Diddy, like it was for Ye. Diddy’s looking to make amends. I think a song would be the best way to communicate a change,” one source who regularly works with Kanye told Page Six.

“Be on the lookout for the song,” the source added.

“Ye is brave enough to touch a hot (rod like) Diddy right now. I don’t think any other artists would,” the source added.

In fact, their collaboration has already started.

In March, West released a snippet of a new track he was working on which featured Combs, 55, recorded in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he was then being held while awaiting his trial on sex trafficking charges. He had been holed up there since his September 2024 arrest.

A source close to Combs at the time told The New York Post he was not aware the call was being recorded on video and Combs thought West was simply “checking in” on his kids.

In the call, which could be heard on West’s track, Bad Boy Records founder Diddy urged him to be careful of people trying to “end” them both.

“You be careful out there ’cause they definitely trying to end us,” Combs told West.

“They can’t do it and they ain’t gonna do it. I’m going to beat this s**t and get next to you,” Combs added, referring, to his then-upcoming federal trial over sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which could have seen him sent to prison for life.

Despite Combs’ comments, West has largely self-sabotaged his career with a series of antisemitic rants, selling Nazi Swastika T-shirts and declaring he was a Nazi and admired Hitler.

The pair share a messy past with an ongoing feud between their families, but West has supported Combs during his trail where he also went to the court.

West and Combs’ spokespeople did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
