Scott Mescudi, widely known as Kid Cudi, took the stand during the sex trafficking trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

His testimony shed light on his relationship with Cassie Ventura and detailed the events surrounding an alleged break-in at his home.

Here are 7 key takeaways:

1. Kid Cudi’s Relationship With Cassie Ventura

  • Kid Cudi confirmed that he dated Cassie in 2011. When asked about Cassie’s relationship with Sean Combs, he explained that they were no longer together at the time, though they were dealing with “some problems.”
  • He provided more context about their relationship, indicating a deeper bond than what was publicly known.

2. The Break-In Incident

  • In December 2011, Kid Cudi testified that he received a distressing call from Cassie at around 5:30 or 6 AM, telling him that Combs had discovered their relationship. Cassie was clearly upset and asked for his help.
  • Kid Cudi went to pick her up and took her to the Sunset Marquis, a place he thought would be “off the radar” and safe.
  • Upon returning to his home, Cudi discovered that his security cameras had been moved, and items inside his house, including gifts from Chanel, were disturbed. Additionally, his dog was locked in the bathroom. This raised suspicions that a break-in had occurred, which he believed was linked to Diddy.

3. Vehicle Damage & Molotov Cocktail Incident

  • Cudi shared that he received a call from his dog’s babysitter, informing him that his Porsche had been set on fire. The damage was caused by a Molotov cocktail, which had been placed through a hole cut in the roof of the vehicle.
  • When shown photos of the damage, Cudi confirmed that they depicted his car and expressed his shock, saying, “What the [expletive].”

4. Kid Cudi’s Confrontation With Sean Combs

  • Kid Cudi and Sean Combs had a tense meeting at the Soho House, which Cudi described as awkward. He recalled Combs acting like a “Marvel Super Villain” and offering him water, which Cudi found strange given the circumstances.
  • During their interaction, Cudi confronted Combs about the damage to his car, but Diddy denied any involvement, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
  • Cudi also recounted how Cassie explained that the situation was complicated, mentioning that she had fallen in love with him, which further complicated the already tense dynamic between the three.

5. Cassie’s Alleged Abuse

  • Kid Cudi testified that Cassie had confided in him about being abused by Diddy, although she never mentioned sexual abuse. This piece of information became crucial in the trial, adding weight to the allegations of abuse in their relationship.

6. The Aftermath & Peace

  • Several years after the incident, Kid Cudi ran into Sean Combs again at the Soho House. According to Cudi, Combs apologized for the past, saying he was “sorry for all that bullsh*t.” Cudi revealed that he had “found peace” with the situation, but it was evident that the events had a lasting impact on him.
  • During cross-examination, Diddy’s’ lawyer, Brian Steel, attempted to discredit Kid Cudi’s testimony, suggesting that he had been “played” by Cassie, just as Combs had been.
  • Steel also probed into Cudi’s relationship with Cassie, questioning her supposed use of multiple phones and suggesting that Kid Cudi might have been deceived. Cudi maintained that he was unaware of any such deception at the time.

Kid Cudi’s testimony really pulled back the curtain on the complicated and messy situation between him, Cassie Ventura, and Diddy.

He gave a vivid account of the break-in at his home, the damage to his car, and the tense face-off with Diddy.

Clearly, all of this took a serious emotional toll on him judging by the way he was pulling on the cigarette when he arrived at the courthouse.
