Sean “Diddy” Combs warned his friend Kanye West to “be careful” in a leaked phone call from prison.
“Tell you real from the front line,” Combs can be heard saying on the phone call with West, which was obtained by The Shade Room. “This s--t is wicked, wicked, wicked, so you be careful. You can’t do nothing for just... I need you out there, you hear me?”
Elsewhere on the call, Combs thanks West for being “the only one” to reach out to him while he was in prison and for “taking care” of his son while he’s behind bars. “It’s like being left for dead, B,” Combs says. “It’s like one person coming to get you…that’s the level of appreciation that I have for you.”
“That’s like some, next level big brother s--t,” continues, opining that his children are “out there with no parent and s--t man, these people trying to rock me, you know what I’m saying?”

Combs is behind bars awaiting his trial on federal sex trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering charges on May 5. It’s unclear when the call was recorded, however Combs can be heard telling West that he has “59 days” until trial, indicating it may have been recorded on Mar. 8, ahead of an upcoming May 5 court date. Combs sounds in good spirits, despite his latest “graying” and “puffy” appearance at his hearing Monday, as he encourages West to “grab a mic and get back on,” and “have some f---ing fun.”
“Chop up them samples, get back on your hit man vibe,” Combs says, “Get back to smiling. F--- these other motherf---ers, they wasting your time,” he adds, amid West’s controversy for racist, Nazi messaging on his social media platforms and on his online merchandise.

West assures Combs on the call that “they”—presumably Shopify, the ecommerce platform that took his Yeezy.com site down for selling swastika t-shirts—“gave” the site back to him. “I got my website, it’s ready, they gave it back to me,” he tells Combs.

Part of the leaked phone call was featured on West’s new song “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” which features vocals from his 11-year-old daughter North West. North’s mother Kim Kardashian sent a cease and desist after West posted the song to X, in an effort to keep her daughter from association with Combs’ alleged sex crimes and impending trial.
Kardashian’s move to block the song prompted West to post screenshots of a text conversation between the co-parents, in which he vowed “war” if she didn’t release her trademark of North’s name so the song could go forward. Leaking the full phone call from the song may be a ploy to promote the track by West.
Despite the lovey-dovey phone call, the two rappers have had years-long beef, stemming from Combs bashing West’s “White Lives Matter” t-shirt stunt in 2022, and West later calling him a “fed” who supposedly criticized him as part of a “deal” to “get out of jail.”
