Diddy's son Christian Combs meets Kanye West at Chateau Marmont after they both attended his father's trial
Kanye, 48, was not pictured but Christian, 27, was seen at the hotel with several friends and appeared in good spirits despite his father's ongoing sex trafficking trial in New York City.
Kanye is known to frequent the Hollywood hotspot and on Tuesday, his custom Maybach was towed away from the establishment.
Kanye has publicly supported Diddy on multiple occasions amid the music mogul's legal woes, and on Friday even attended the trial, where he was greeted by Christian.
The pair shared a hug outside the courthouse before entering together.
West caused chaos at the trial in Manhattan as he surprised crowds outside the courthouse. He wore an all-white denim outfit to the trial.
Kanye had not announced his arrival beforehand, with footage from crowds outside the courthouse showing their surprise as he made his entrance.
He was seen entering the courthouse, and briefly entered an overflow room, but did not enter the courtroom itself where Diddy has stood trial since May 5.
According to the New York Times, Kanye was not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in an overflow room.
He watched a closed-circuit video feed of the trial with Christian and Diddy's friend Charlucci Finney before departing, The Times adds. He was in the courthouse for approximately a half hour, the publication also reported.
It comes as Diddy faces up to life in prison for drug trafficking and racketeering charges, which he has pleaded not guilty to.
Over the weekend, Christian paid tribute to his dad with a gushing Father's Day tribute.
King shared a post of his father holding him when he was a child. He captioned the shot: 'Happy Fathers Day Pops!!' King said. 'I Love you & miss you !!! We waiting for you at [home].'
Diddy is father to seven children with four women.
His children are: Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian, Chance, 18, twins D'Lila and Jessie, 18, and Love Sean, two.
Diddy faces life in prison on five federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Prosecutors say Diddy used his fame and power in the music industry, along with violence and money, to coerce girlfriends for nearly two decades to submit to sexual performances involving male sex workers, sometimes on a weekly basis.
The sex marathons, called "freak-offs" and "hotel nights," sometimes lasted several days as Diddy watched, directed and sometimes filmed his girlfriends having sex with other men, according to testimony.
Two former girlfriends testified that they relied on drugs supplied by Diddy to stay awake - and numb - throughout the events. They both said they endured the sexual marathons because they were in love with Diddy and it enabled them to spend more time with him.
Defense lawyers say prosecutors are trying to criminalize sexual activity between consenting adults. They say their client was involved in domestic abuse, but had not committed the federal crimes of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
Diddy has remained jailed without bail since his September arrest.
Meanwhile, more photos of damning evidence against Diddy came to light on Thursday, including a collection of high-powered rifles, drugs and hundreds of bottles of baby oil.
The trove of photos were released by federal prosecutors as the trial at Manhattan federal court was stalled due to the Juneteenth holiday.
The items were collected by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at the disgraced Bad Boy mogul's mansion in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles.
Investigators also found bags containing ketamine, which were also photographed as evidence.
Last week, Homeland Security Investigations agent Andre Lamon testified he saw an overwhelming amount of both baby oil and lubricant when he and other agents searched the mansion.
The pictures show bottles of baby oil neatly lined in display cabinets, while dozen of boxes of the lubricant were also found stacked in the home.
Lamon testified he found 900 bottles of Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil at Combs' LA home.
Investigators also found bags containing ketamine, which were also photographed as evidence.
Evidence: The cache of photos also showed Combs' collection of baby oil, which were neatly displayed in one of the rooms inside the LA mansion
Federal prosecutors allege the drugs were used in marathon 'freak offs' Combs, his ex-girlfriends and male escorts participated in.
Defense Attorney Marc Agnifilo has said the star likes to 'buy in bulk like any other American' and claimed Combs participated in consensual sex.
One of the pictures showed a cache of weapons, including AR-15 style rifles and pump shotguns, next to a bag of tortilla chips.
Combs' has since placed his LA mansion up for sale at $61.5million. The 17,000-square-foot home that boasts 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms is still listed for sale as of Thursday.
Authorities also executed search warrants at Comb's Miami mansion on the exclusive Star Island the same day.
Armed agents entered luxury properties on both East and West coasts, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead.
Narcotics: Agents also found drugs at Combs' LA mansion. Prosecutors said Diddy's marathon 'freak off' sex parties were fueled by drugs such and ketamine

D-Day veteran and TikTok star 'Papa Jake' Larson dies at 102
D-Day veteran ″Papa Jake″ Larson, who survived German gunfire on Normandy 's bluffs in 1944 and garnered 1.2 million followers on TikTok late in life by sharing stories to commemorate World War II and his fallen comrades, has died at 102. Tributes for 'Story Time with Papa Jake" poured in from followers across the United States, where he had been living in Lafayette, CA., and from towns around Normandy still grateful to Allied forces who helped defeat the occupying Nazis. "Our beloved Papa Jake has passed away on July 17th at 102 years young," his granddaughter McKaela Larson posted on his social media accounts. "He went peacefully and was even cracking jokes til the very end.″ 'As Papa would say, love you all the mostest,' she wrote. Born Dec. 20, 1922, in Owatonna, Minnesota, Larson enlisted in the National Guard in 1938, lying about his age since he was only 15 at the time. In January 1942, he was sent overseas and was stationed in Northern Ireland. He became operations sergeant and assembled the planning books for the invasion of Normandy. He was among the Allied troops who stormed the Normandy shore on D-Day, June 6, 1944, surviving machine-gun fire when he landed on Omaha Beach. He made it unhurt to the bluffs that overlook the beach, then studded with German gun emplacements that mowed down American soldiers. After D-Day, he fought on through the Battle of the Bulge. In recent years, he made repeated trips to Normandy for D-Day commemorations. 'We are the lucky ones,' Larson told The Associated Press at the 81st anniversary of D-Day in June, speaking amid the immaculate rows of graves at the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach. 'They had no family. We are their family. We have the responsibility to honor these guys who gave us a chance to be alive.'

'Why don't you just grow your hair over it? You've got awful hair! One of the best things about women is their hair and you've got boy's hair!' Lisa quipped: 'Should we really be taking fashion advice from YOU?' While Caprice added: 'We're not telling you how you look. You want us to go there?'

All the details on Charli XCX's chic corseted Vivienne Westwood wedding dress - and its striking similarities to another music superstar's bridal gown
She tied the knot with The 1975's George Daniel in a low key ceremony at Hackney Town Hall on Saturday. But the star of the show was Charli XCX's chic Vivienne Westwood mini-dress that she wore for the occasion. Charli was the epitome of style in the Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora dress which boasted an off-the-shoulder design and draped detailing over a cinched corset. The dress also featured a wrap-style high-low skirt to show off the singer's legs, and she paired it with a traditional veil. The gown bore striking similarities to that of another famous singer who wore a full-length version back in May when she tied the knot - Demi Lovato. Demi, 32, tied the knot with singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in Southern California in May. The American star wore a custom pearl white gown featuring a corset waist and draped skirt, one of two Vivienne Westwood dresses she donned for her nuptials. But it's not the first time similarities could be drawn between stars when it comes to Vivienne Westwood wedding dresses. Earlier this year, fans noticed a striking resemblance between Demi's wedding gown and Miley Cyrus's from when she married Liam Hemsworth in 2018. Both appeared to wear the same off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood dress for their nuptials - and Miley even shared the snaps writing 'Twinsies' as she made the comparison. Miley's version featured a similar whimsical neckline, but opted for a bone color rather than the brighter white that Demi wore. Both women looked stunning in their chosen gowns, with fans taking to social media to talk about the similarities - with some pointing out Demi and Miley have famously had an on-again, off-again friendship over the years. 'Demi Lovato wore the same wedding dress as Miley for her wedding omg?' one stunned user posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. 'Demi's dress reminds me of Miley's,'; 'Wow, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus rocking similar Vivienne Westwood wedding dresses is such a cool Disney Channel throwback!'; 'What do you mean Demi has worn an almost if not identical Vivienne Westwood wedding dress to Miley's in 2018,'; Others defended Demi, pointing out it's one of the late British designer's famous silhouettes and is loved by brides worldwide. They said: 'Demi and Miley are both grown women and we are not little girls arguing in middle school. We don't care if Miley wore the dress first. They look stunning,'; 'The same designer with the same signature styling. Demi did it before, keeps choosing this all the time if you ever seen the things they wear,'; 'Demi's only copying herself. And I can't believe we're talking about dresses, like there's not wedding dresses that look similar.' Demi told Vogue she has been a fan Vivienne Westwood's designs for a 'long time.' 'I love everything about the dress,' she told the publication. Miley and Demi both shot to fame as teens on the Disney Channel but had a fraught relationship at times. The duo have candidly spoken about their on-off friendship through the years. They appeared to have rekindled their relationship in 2020 during an Instagram Live chat as apart of an afternoon talk show on Miley's Instagram, called Bright Minded: Live With Miley. 'Life is moving so fast that it's usually hard to slow ourselves down and appreciate people in our lives, and you've been that person for me for so many years and we've been friends for so long,' Miley told Demi at the time as per People. She added: 'We can not talk forever and then some bulls**t will go down, and I'll just know you're the person I want to reach out to. In dark times, it's really important to reach towards those who are illuminated. I just think that you're such a light — even if it took this crisis to get us connected again.' Miley and Liam had been dating on and off since 2010, when they met on the set of the Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Last Song. They were initially engaged in June 2012, but they called it off in September 2013, before rumours stemmed in January 2016 the engagement was back on. Miley confirmed they were engaged during an October 2016 appearance on the Ellen show, and they were married on December 23, 2018 at their home in Franklin, Tennessee. She was married to Liam for eight months, with the pair filing for divorce in August 2019.
