Kanye West and Diddy 'deadly serious' about teaming up for a tour so that 'they can save each other'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In an industry already beset by scandals, disgraced music icons Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Kanye West are reportedly eyeing a joint tour.

Despite Diddy being behind bars awaiting a high-profile trial, and West still reeling from a string of antisemitic tirades and public meltdowns, sources say the duo are “dead serious” about getting back on stage together.

Insiders reveal Kanye West and Diddy 'think they can save each other'

According to Radar Online, a high-level music industry insider said, "They're dead serious. They think they can save each other, when really? They're both toxic."

Diddy, 55, and West, 47, have both been shunned by the mainstream, with the former facing the possibility of life in prison for trafficking, racketeering, and other serious charges; West's antisemitic rants have cost him a lot, including his billion-dollar Yeezy x Adidas deal.

Still, insiders claim the pair’s teams are in early discussions to mount a spectacle of a tour, something they would reportedly bill as "Two legends, one stage, uncancellable."

Though the idea of a Diddy-Kanye tour might sound like a PR stunt gone too far, sources suggest the artists believe this could be their comeback.

A former music executive didn’t mince words, "Kanye has burned every bridge he's ever crossed. And Diddy? He might be in prison for the rest of his life."

Diddy, co-founder of Bad Boy Records, has been incarcerated at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest in September 2024, and has since been bombarded with lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and abuse, all of which he has denied.

Despite this, a source revealed that "Diddy really thinks he's getting out and hitting the road like it's 2004."

Another added, "It's delusion at the highest level."

Kanye West's collapse from music mogul to menace

Kanye West's downward spiral began in October 2022, when his first antisemitic rant triggered a cascade of brand cancellations and financial losses.

Since then, he’s attracted widespread backlash, most recently for running a Super Bowl ad that directed fans to a Yeezy website selling a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika and even wearing one around LA. 

West has also launched many rants filled with antisemitic and misogynistic commentary.

Attacking Jay-Z and Beyonce’s seven-year-old twins on X, he has questioned their mental capacities.

His marriage to Bianca Censori has also come under fire, with critics accusing him of controlling and humiliating her by forcing her to wear barely-there outfits in public.

As Diddy’ trial looms, his legal team is scrambling to buy time.

Most recently, they filed a motion to delay the trial, which is currently set to begin on May 12, citing alleged suppression of evidence by prosecutors, including withheld emails from a former employee.

Despite the chaos, the idea of a tour still somehow floats in the ether, with one music agent summing it up bluntly, noting, "The tour is a pipe dream. These two think they're staging a comeback, but it's more like a meltdown."
