Kanye West reportedly steered clear from meeting Diddy at the Rolling Loud festival earlier this month - despite the music mogul hoping to speak with him.
TMZ reports Diddy, 54, had attended the event to watch Kanye's performance and informed the rapper's entourage he had wanted to say hello to West personally.
But, when Kanye, 46, was notified of Diddy's request, he was reportedly not interested in speaking with him. At a minimum, he reportedly wasn't enthusiastic at the prospect of seeing the Making The Band veteran.
Ultimately, Diddy never ended up linking up with West, insiders told the outlet.
The festival occurred weeks before Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Diddy's appearance at the festival sparked speculation he had ended his feud with West. The duo have been beefing since 2022.
Before their feud erupted, Combs was one of Ye's only famous friends to defend his increasingly bizarre behavior and social media posts, calling him a 'free thinker' and insisting that the Golddigger rapper's message had been 'misconstrued.'
But then Kanye brought out his infamous White Lives Matter T-shirts and that's where Diddy drew the line.
Diddy got in touch with Kanye directly and shared his misgivings about the shirts, prompting an argument over text.
However, Diddy was then seen at Ye and Ty Dolla $ign's Rolling Loud set in Los Angeles with his children - a move which suggested they had ended their feud.
The Rolling Loud concert came weeks before Diddy's homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the rapper, broke the Combs camp's silence just over 24 hours after the Homeland Security investigation with a statement to DailyMail.com.
'Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,' Dyer said.

'Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities,' he added. 'Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.'
Combs was seen speaking to customs agents at an airport 15 minutes from his Miami Beach Monday evening but never arrested.
'This unprecedented ambush -- paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence -- leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,' Dyer continued.
'There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.'
Armed agents entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead.
The agents, who were wearing vests, gathered in the home's backyard near the pool.

There was no immediate official confirmation about what precipitated the raids, but Diddy is currently embroiled in several lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault.
It comes just weeks after one of Diddy's accusers was ordered to reveal her identity.
The rapper and music mogul has been fighting various legal battles, including one against an unnamed woman who claimed he and two friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
After allegedly supplying the woman with 'copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,' Diddy and two pals are accused of taking turns violently raping the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, according to her complaint.
She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, drug-addled hotel orgies and rape.

Combs denied the claims in that case and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement barely 24 hours after the suit was made public in November 2023.
After the flurry of subsequent allegations, Diddy tweeted out a new statement under the heading 'Enough is enough.'
Combs is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop´s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.
While the woman's identity has yet to be revealed in the lawsuit, a judge just ruled she would no longer be able to stay anonymous if the suit proceeds.
Diddy has filed a motion to have the woman's case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.
The accuser was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault in quick succession last year after his ex, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023, with the two settling out of court.
Douglas Wigdor, an attorney for Cassie and another one of the Jane Does accusing Diddy, responded to the search in a statement to DailyMail.com
'We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.'
Music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones Jr., who worked with Combs on 'The Love Album: Off the Grid,' is among his accusers.
He filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming he was ordered to recruit sex workers and have sex with them for the star's pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Combs's 'serious illegal activity'.
