Kid Cudi's Testimony

  • πŸ’‘ Rapper Scott Mescudi, also known as Kid Cudi, testified in the Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial.
  • πŸ“Œ He stated that a Molotov cocktail was thrown at his car shortly after Combs learned of his relationship with Cassie Ventura.

Relationship with Cassie Ventura

  • πŸ’” Mescudi testified that he was friends with and briefly dated Cassie Ventura in 2011.
  • ⚠️ He believed Ventura and Combs were no longer dating, but Ventura called him in December 2011 sounding stressed and scared because Combs had found out about their relationship.
  • πŸ’¬ Jurors heard about a phone call where an employee of Combs sounded scared and claimed to be physically forced to go along with Combs.

Incident at Mescudi's Home

  • 🏠 Upon arriving at his home, Mescudi noticed security cameras had been moved, no one was inside, gifts were opened, and his dog was locked in the bathroom.
  • 🚨 He called Combs, intending to fight him, but ultimately decided against it and called the police to report a break-in.

Molotov Cocktail and Confrontation

  • πŸš— The following month, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at his Porsche parked in his driveway.
  • 🎭 Mescudi described meeting with Combs afterward, who appeared like a "Marvel super villain" and questioned Mescudi about his relationship with Ventura, stating, "you knew that was my girl."
  • πŸ€₯ When Mescudi asked about his car, Combs replied, "What car?", leading Mescudi to believe Combs was lying.
  • 🀝 Years later, Combs generally apologized to Mescudi.

Defense Cross-Examination

  • ❓ On cross-examination, Mescudi acknowledged he never heard further from police and had no information linking Combs or his affiliates to his property.
  • 🎭 The defense questioned if Ventura was living two different lives, to which Mescudi agreed.

Testimony from Former Executive Assistant

  • πŸ’Ό Combs's former executive assistant also testified, stating he left the job due to discomfort with "physical behavior."
  • πŸ€• He reported seeing injuries on Cassie's face on one occasion and Combs throwing apples at another girlfriend.
  • πŸ‘ Despite these accounts, the assistant stated he still liked Combs and maintains contact with him.
