Diddy Ex-Assistant Testifies Kidnapping, Murder Plot Over Cassie-Kid Cudi

Capricorn Clark, a former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, testified in his federal sex trafficking trial that Combs threatened her life on her first day and later kidnapped her at gunpoint in 2011 to confront rapper Kid Cudi over his relationship with Combs’ then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Clark described how Combs arrived at her home armed and furious, forcing her to accompany him and his bodyguard to Cudi's residence, where Combs broke in while Clark warned Cassie by phone. She testified that Combs violently assaulted Cassie afterward and issued threats to prevent anyone from contacting the authorities, creating a climate of fear and silence among his staff. Clark also revealed enduring years of threats, abuse, and coercive control, including being subjected to lie detector tests and fearing for her safety if she left the job. The testimony supports prosecutors' claims that Combs led a racketeering conspiracy involving intimidation and violence to maintain control over his associates and relationships. Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces up to life imprisonment if convicted.
