West, who was accompanied by two security guards, shook hands with members of the public as he was swiftly escorted inside the federal courthouse.
Combs’ son, Christian Combs, met West at the courthouse main entrance, as video showed the two embracing before heading to the security check-in.
When asked by reporters if he was in attendance in support of Combs, West nodded and replied, “Yes,” ABC affiliate WABC-NY reported.
Inside the gallery, Combs was surrounded by his defense team and speaking with his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, and lawyers Nicole Westmoreland and Xavier Donaldson when West arrived at the courthouse, Inner City Press reported.
Notably missing beside West was his wife, Bianca Censori, who was pictured alongside the rapper in New York City on Thursday evening.
West had been in contact with Christian about attending the trial, according to CNN.
Combs’ family have attended the majority of the disgraced music executive’s trial.
The start of Thursday’s proceedings were delayed as prosecutors and the defense discussed several issues with Judge Arun Subramanian in the robing room.
One of the concerns the defense raised was the potential presence of an individual who was not on their list.
The defense asked the court to notify the US Marshals to not allow that person to be present in the gallery.
The individual was not identified and did not attend Thursday’s proceeding.
