Kanye West sparked outrage Saturday, doubling down on his support for Sean 'Diddy' Combs and mocking Diddy's assault of Cassie Ventura in another troubling rant.
The disgraced rapper, 47, posted an image of Diddy — who is currently in prison awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges — right before he punched and kicked his then-girlfriend, taken from shocking hotel security footage in 2016.
Underneath he wrote, 'When I [sic] man truly loves a woman he may express it in rage I empathize with both sides.'
In another message underneath the same photo he wrote, 'You have to truly be in love to get to the point of risking everything.'
He further mocked domestic violence in another Tweet, writing, 'Hey question if someone were to beat up their girlfriend in public, would that be considered domestic violence, or is that outdoor violence, or is it just public indecency?'
'....Im just asking for a friend,' Kim Kardashian's ex-husband added.

Kanye also went on to post a photo of a hoodie he is selling on his Yeezy website that is identical to the one Cassie — who appeared in West's 2007 Stronger music video — was wearing in the assault footage, dubbing it the 'Love Hoodie.'
The images were taken from a security video that shows the currently incarcerated hip hop mogul violently assaulting the singer in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.
The video — which was published by CNN in May — shows Diddy wearing only a white towel, punching, kicking, and throwing the R&B singer to ground at a hotel in March 2016.
It comes a day after West begged President Trump to free Diddy from prison.
West's tweets sparked online outrage, with many fans concerned about the safety of his wife Bianca Censori, 30, and highlighting that he has two daughters - North, 11, and Chicago, seven, with ex-wife Kim.
'This ain't love bruh. But congrats on exposing yourself. Now we all know how you treat Bianca.'
'Kanye remaking the hoodie cassie was beat in and selling it is actually evil as f**k,' someone else added.
'Shame on you for rationalizing spousal abuse, ye,' another wrote.
Another wrote, 'You have a daughter talking like this... embarrassing.'

'Kanye out here debating whether domestic violence has a zip code. The answer is it’s wrong everywhere. Cassie doesn’t deserve this. Stand on what you say like you been doing everything else. Why delete it.'
'Kanye west lost his mind trying to defend Diddy when he has a daughter and posting the video of diddy attacking cassie was very low of him .. smh.'
In May of 2024 Cassie addressed the leaked video, writing on Instagram 'Domestic violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.'
She then advocated for survivors of domestic violence.
'It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone.'
It comes as Kanye posted the phrase 'Free Puff' on his social media Thursday, later adding that he felt the Black community needed to rally around Combs, as well as Chris Brown, amid their respective troubles, past and present. He also tagged President Donald Trump into a post, writing, 'PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.'
West added, 'ALL THESE CELEBRITY N***** AND B****** IS P**** YALL A WATCH OUR BROTHER ROT AND NEVER SAY S***. WE ALL WATCHED TAKE CHRIS BROWN AND AINT NOBODY DO NOTHING I WAS P****THEN TOO CHRIS BROWN ITS TO THE WHEELS FALL OFF.'
West on Thursday also began selling merchandise from Combs' Sean John brand - in an endeavor in which he said would send half of the proceeds to Combs - on his Yeezy.com website.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges after his September arrest. He has remained incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting a May 5 trial, after he was refused bail on multiple occasions.
Combs, who is also charged with transportation to engage in prostitution, has made a trio of attempts in vain to be granted bail, amid concerns from the court he would attempt to flee or tamper with his case.
Prior to his arrest he was in the headlines for much of 2024 year after raids on multiple properties in March; and video of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie surfacing on CNN in May.
West took to X on Saturday with more controversial Tweets, hours after advertising a T-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi swastika and praising Hitler.
He also doubled down on claims of 'dominion' over his wife Bianca, following their recent naked stunt at the Grammys, as he launched into another anti-Semitic rant where he targeted Jewish women.
'TO ALL JEWISH HUSBANDS COME GET YOUR B***H I JUST F****D THE SHIT OUT OF HER AND DONT WANNA HEAR HER YAPPING.'
He continued, writing, 'There's a sweet Jewish named Jill with the best taste that lives in New York sending love to you from me and my wife i am speaking on behalf of my wife since i have dominion over her which is quite different than the dynamic i've seen at every shabbat i've been to.'
Another Tweet read: 'JEWS ARE LIKE B****S YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR B****S IN CHECK.'

Since Kanye married Bianca in 2022 fans have expressed concern over her wellbeing, with the Australian architect continuously seen parading around in various states of undress.
Last week, Bianca shocked the world when she attended the Grammys completely naked under a sheer dress, exposing her breasts and genitals in full.
He tweeted: 'I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T SHES WITH A BILLIONAIRE WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB A** BROKE B****S.'
'PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID A** WOKE PAWNS.'
Earlier in the day Kanye provocatively advertised a T-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi swastika, just hours after explaining a succession of anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic posts were a 'social experiment'.
The rapper, who posted an image of the white top early on Saturday morning, described his latest design as 'my greatest performance art piece thus far'.
His latest controversial post comes just hours after a 12-hour barrage of shocking racist, homophobic and sexist tweets on X on Thursday night.
Among his most shocking tweets in the hours-long tirade, Kanye proudly declared: 'I AM A NAZI', later adding: 'I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B*****S.'
He also claimed that he will never 'trust or work with Jewish people' again and insisted he 'will not apologise' for his views.
The rapper was previously accused of anti-Semitism in 2022 after making a series of racist remarks, but later apologised, insisting it was not his 'intention to hurt or demean' the Jewish community.
On Thursday night that apology appeared to have been retracted as he tweeted: 'IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.'
Meanwhile his ex-wife Kim is reportedly steering clear of him following his extremely 'disturbing' rants.
His ex-wife Kim, 44, is said to be 'staying far away from Kanye at this point and wants nothing to do with his drama' (pictured in 2019)
The reality star is said to be 'staying far away from Kanye at this point and wants nothing to do with his drama.'
'Kim hasn’t read all the messages Kanye posted because it’s not worth her time and energy,' an insider told Page Six of the situation that has sparked significant backlash.
The source added that the SKIMS founder 'hasn’t reached out to Kanye at all' amid his latest controversy.
Kardashian and West were previously married for nearly seven years until she filed for divorce in 2021. The former couple share four children: North, Chicago, Saint, 9, and Psalm, 5.
