Overview

• Kanye West arrived at the Manhattan courthouse on June 13 in support of Sean “Diddy” Combs and was accompanied by Combs’ son Christian Combs in an all-white outfit.
• Court officials denied West entry to the main courtroom after finding his name was not on the approved visitor list and directed him to an overflow room to watch on closed-circuit TV.
• The trial entered its fifth week with testimony from alleged victims and former associates, and prosecutors are expected to finish presenting their case next week.
• Combs, 55, faces federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution and has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
• West has used social media to call for Combs’ release, collaborated on music with Combs’ family and featured a recorded jail call with Combs in his own song.
