Kid Cudi Testifies Against Diddy in Federal Sex Trafficking Trial

Kid Cudi testified in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial that Combs was responsible for a series of violent acts against him following Cudi's romantic involvement with Combs' then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Cudi described a 2011 home invasion where Combs allegedly broke in, tampered with security cameras, and locked Cudi's dog in a bathroom, leaving the pet traumatized. Weeks later, Cudi's Porsche was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail, an attack he linked to Combs, who denied involvement when confronted at a meeting described by Cudi as resembling a 'Marvel supervillain' scene. Ventura testified that Combs had threatened to blow up Cudi's car, lending credence to the arson claim. The testimonies reveal a pattern of intimidation and violence allegedly used by Combs to control and silence those around him amid the broader charges he faces. Rapper 50 Cent publicly mocked Combs over these allegations, expressing concern over the harm allegedly caused to Cudi's dog and taunting the mogul on social media.
