The rapper and record executive, 52, discussed Ye and his "White Lives Matter" T-shirts on "The Breakfast Club."

Diddy: "My child is a free thinker." "And he's often misunderstood, know what I mean?"

The media mogul said individuals "don't have to denounce or cancel Kanye," but called the shirts "tone-deaf."

Diddy: "White lives count, but it's not that."

"Our slogan was 'Black Lives Matter.' That wasn't our motto to share... Because right now, we're dying, incarcerated, and poor."

"You must be proudly black and love your people and tribe first," he said.

Diddy had planned to release a T-shirt in support of West, but he stated he "needed a couple of days to get over" them first.

West, 45, held his surprise Paris exhibition Tuesday. Naomi Campbell, Amelia Hamlin, and more walked to a choir of youngsters, including the designer's daughter North.

"White Lives Matter" shirts angered many audience members (and beyond). Jaden Smith left the show, writing, "If I don't feel the message, I'm gone."

Ex-sister-in-law Kendall Jenner loved Smith's tweets about leaving.
