Anne McCarthy “Saturday Night Live Weekend Update” hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che minced no words on Saturday night while commenting on Ye (aka Kanye West) and Diddy’s respective recent headlines. Referring to a recently filed lawsuit by former Ye employee Trevor Phillips — who accused the musician of anti-Black racism, homophobic and antisemitic outbursts in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday — Che noted, “In a lawsuit against Ye, a former employee claims that Ye compared himself to Hitler, minus the gas chambers.” Che then quipped, “I, for one, am shocked to hear that Ye believes in the Holocaust.” (Ye has served as musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” and once launched into a pro-Trump rant off-air while wearing a MAGA hat.) Moving on to another embroiled hip-hop star, Colin Jost noted an embarassing moment in a “Live with Kelly & Mark” repeat that aired this past week referencing Diddy — taped long before the current investigation over the mogul’s alleged wrongdoings.
“This week, ‘Live with Kelly & Mark’ re-ran an episode from 2023 in which host Kelly Ripa begged to go on Diddy’s yacht,” Jost said, alluding to how that desire hadn’t aged well. Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently being investigated for alleged sexual misconduct and was recently named in a sexual assault lawsuit against his son, Christian Combs.
Christian has been accused of sexual misconduct on a yacht that Diddy chartered. Jost then poked fun at his co-anchor.
“Even crazier, ‘SNL’ is airing an episode right now with a guy who was on Diddy’s yacht last week!” A picture of Michael Che photoshopped onto a yacht with a glass of champagne in hand appeared on the screen. The camera then showed Che shaking his head “no” with a smirk.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music As accusations of sexual misconduct continue to be leveled against Sean “Diddy” Combs — and now his son — the embattled artist and entrepreneur posted a seemingly defiant video and caption on Instagram Friday. He posted the full-length video from his 1998 song “Victory” — in which he is seen running from Los Angeles police for nearly its entire seven minutes — along with the caption “Bad Boy for life,” a frequent catchphrase referencing his long-running record label and a fist emoji. The comments were left open, and Christian Combs, who is reportedly being sued by a woman for sexual assault in 2022 — wrote “Who you know do it better!!” with three fire emojis.
