As you probably already know, Kanye West is no stranger to controversy.
West has been the talk of Hollywood of late after his wife, Bianca Censori, rocked up to the Grammys last weekend wearing a completely see-through dress with no underwear.
Censori quickly went on to become one of the most Googled people on Earth, according to the rapper, who sported a much less revealing ensemble to Sunday night's star-studded affair.

Now, in another controversial move, West has been playing on his apparent friendship with Donald Trump, whom he publicly supported as president over the years.
Currently, disgraced music star Sean 'Diddy' Combs is being held without bail until his trial in May.
Combs is facing serious criminal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he denies.

While he campaigned for bail, a New York judge branded the Combs 'a serious flight risk' and has denied his applications.
But it appears West is now campaigning for his freedom as well, and took to Twitter to appeal to Trump.
"PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF," read one of his tweets that Trump was tagged in.

West also seemed to refer to Combs as his 'hero' and 'idol' in another X-rated post.
"THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT," he wrote. "YALL F***ING KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE F***ING INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM. THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US. THIS MY IDOL. THIS MY HERO."
A third tweet by West read: "PUFF GET ONE CALL A MORNING."

As well as criminal charges, Diddy is facing a series of civil suits from alleged victims.
In a recent filing, a former adult entertainer in Las Vegas claimed Combs instructed him to 'perform acts that were outside the scope of the agreed-upon performance and limitations set by plaintiff and his agency'.
"Combs dehumanised plaintiff and reduced him to a mere object for Combs’ own amusement and to satisfy his own sexual fetishes," the suit goes on to allege.
"Combs gravely exploited plaintiff, effectively imprisoning him and controlling him through surreptitious surveillance and filming."

Combs' lawyer has since denied the additional allegations the music mogul is facing.
His lawyer told Rolling Stone: "No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex-trafficked anyone - man or woman, adult or minor.
"Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to separate fact from fiction, and Mr Combs is confident that he will prevail in court."
