Kid Cudi Details Diddy Break-In at LA Trial

During Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, rapper Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) testified that Combs broke into his Los Angeles home in December 2011 after learning Cudi was involved with Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Cudi stated Ventura contacted him sounding frightened, prompting him to take her to a hotel for safety, and upon returning home, he found tampered security cameras and unwrapped Christmas gifts. In January 2012, Cudi's Porsche was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in his driveway, with a Los Angeles Fire Department report confirming the use of an incendiary device, though Cudi admitted there is no direct evidence linking Combs to the crime. Cassie Ventura also testified that Combs threatened to blow up Cudi's car after discovering their relationship. The trial has seen emotional testimony and legal clashes, including a judge's rebuke of Combs' attorney for inappropriate questioning about Ventura's sexual history. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
