Rapper Kid Cudi Expected To Testify In Diddy Sex Trafficking Trial

Rapper Kid Cudi is expected to testify this week in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, where prosecutors allege Combs committed various crimes including arson and violent threats. Kid Cudi's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, the prosecution's star witness, testified that Combs reacted violently and threatened both her and Cudi after learning about their 2011 relationship, including an alleged incident where Combs threatened to blow up Kid Cudi's car, which was later firebombed. Cassie's mother also testified that Combs demanded $20,000 from her as retribution for the relationship and threatened to release explicit videos of Cassie and to harm both her and Kid Cudi physically. Prosecutors indicated that Kid Cudi will likely address these threats and the arson attack on his car during his testimony. The trial has also featured testimony from a Homeland Security agent, a clinical psychologist, and a former employee who witnessed Combs' alleged physical abuse. Kid Cudi's testimony is anticipated to provide critical insight into the prosecution's claims against Combs and his associates.
