They're Trying To End Us": Inside Diddy's Prison Call To Kanye West

In a revealing phone conversation recently obtained by The Shade Room, Sean "Diddy" Combs reached out to Kanye West from behind bars with an urgent message. The call offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of the embattled music mogul as he awaits his May trial on serious federal charges.

From the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Brooklyn, Diddy warned Kanye to "be careful out there," stating bluntly that unnamed forces are "definitely trying to end us." Despite his circumstances, Combs expressed confidence, adding, "They can't do it and they ain't gonna do it. I'm going to beat this shit and get next to you."

The call wasn't just about caution—Diddy also urged Kanye to reconnect with music: "Have some fucking fun. Get behind the mic, have some fun. Chop up them samples, get back on your hit man vibe."

Perhaps most surprisingly, Diddy expressed sincere gratitude toward West for being one of the few industry figures to support his children during his incarceration. "Ain't nobody reach out to them, ain't nobody call," Combs revealed, adding that it "meant so much" that Kanye "took them under [his] wing."

The conversation reveals a complex relationship between two controversial figures facing separate public struggles. While Diddy faces serious legal jeopardy that could result in a minimum 15-year sentence if convicted, he took time to encourage Kanye to refocus on his artistry.

"When I get out there man I want to see you fucking tear down the stadiums," Combs told West. "I need to see you back on that stage, fucking actually rapping and fucking performing and everything."

For his part, Kanye responded with equal admiration: "Yeah, it's time for me to just grab the mic and get back on. It's like I love music again." He later added, "I love you so much, man. It's like you raised me even when I didn't know you."

This call emerged amid Kanye's ongoing public disputes with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over their daughter North's involvement in his recent music.
