Sean “Diddy” Combs might be the only celebrity defending Kanye West right now.

The rapper and record exec, 52, shared his thoughts on Ye — and the “White Lives Matter” T-shirts he included in his Yeezy show during Paris Fashion Week — in a new interview on “The Breakfast Club.”

“My boy is a super, super, super free thinker,” Diddy said. “And a lot of times, what he means is, like, misconstrued, you know what I’m saying?”

The media mogul added that people “don’t have to condemn Kanye or cancel him,” but called the shirts “very tone-deaf.”

“I understand white lives do matter, but it’s not that,” Diddy said.

“[‘Black Lives Matter’] was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else … Because right now, we’re the ones that are dying, that are incarcerated, that are left in poverty.”

West opened his Yeezy show wearing the shirt, which also featured a photo of the Pope on the front.
