Recent reports shed light on an intriguing encounter between Ye and Diddy at Rolling Loud LA. A few weeks ago, it seems Ye was not in the mood for a heart-to-heart with the hip-hop mogul, Diddy. Despite Diddy's attempts to catch Ye's attention backstage and his eagerness to connect, the Chicago rapper seemed to give him the cold shoulder, sparking curiosity about the reasons behind his aloofness.

As Diddy, along with his entourage, observed Ye's performance from backstage, he expressed a desire to personally converse with Ye. However, when the opportunity arose, Ye reportedly dodged the chance to engage with Diddy, leaving many to speculate about the underlying tensions between the two. This incident adds a layer of mystery to their dynamic, especially considering their past encounters, including a public disagreement over Ye's controversial 'White Lives Matter' T-shirt at YZY SZN 9 show.
