Kanye West has made an appearance at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial.

The controversial rapper showed up to Manhattan Federal Court to support Combs, a long-time music industry friend.

West, who has loudly supported the disgraced mogul, was received warmly by Combs’s son King, and his defence lawyer Xavier Donaldson.

Asked if he was at the courthouse to support Combs, he responded “yes” and nodded.

West then walked quickly to an elevator and did not appear to respond when a reporter asked if he might testify on Combs’s behalf.

The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian is currently at the courthouse, but not inside the courtroom, according to reports.

Onlookers cheered as he entered, wearing sunglasses and a white denim jacket, MailOnline reported.
