Diddy wanted a word with Kanye West at an L.A. concert this month, but Ye ended up ducking the convo — which is interesting, considering what’s gone down in the Bad Boy mogul’s world since then.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Diddy was hanging out backstage at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago … he and his entourage had rolled up to watch Ye’s performance, and he told people close to Ye he wanted a face-to-face to say what’s up, personally.

However, we’re told Kanye had no interest in the proposed meeting when it was brought to his attention — or at the very least, we’re told he wasn’t champing at the bit to meet up.
In any case … our sources tell us the meet and greet Diddy wanted with Ye didn’t go down.
As we reported … Diddy appeared supportive of Kanye at the festival, and even brought his kids to the show to watch. A picture of Diddy with a man — who appeared to be his son, Justin — at the side of the main stage circulated widely online.
It’s interesting … the two had beef dating back to 2022, when Kanye very publicly accused Puff of threatening him on behalf of unnamed Jewish people — and all that came after Diddy called out Ye for selling “White Lives Matter” shirts.
That’s why Diddy showing up for Ye was fascinating … on its face, it would seem they’d put their differences aside — or, at least Diddy had — but based on Ye’s non-interest, maybe he isn’t ready to forgive and forget.
Also, in the heat of their feud, Ye posted one of their text exchanges, where he flat-out accused Diddy of being a “fed.”
Cut to 18 months later, and the feds are all over Diddy — as we reported, Dept. of Homeland Security agents raided his homes Monday in L.A. and Miami, seeking evidence to support allegations he engaged in sex trafficking.
Diddy spoke with agents himself Monday, on a Miami airport tarmac, as a member of his entourage was arrested on drug charges — and, a short time later, he was seen pacing around outside the airport.

Diddy’s denied all wrongdoing thus far, and his attorney called the raids a gross show of excessive force, as well as a “witch hunt.”
We obtained footage showing the inside of his L.A. home — after the feds’ search — and it was torn to shreds, with the place turned upside down.
Hard to tell exactly how Kanye’s feeling about Diddy these days, but it sure seems icy.
