Prosecutors Prepare For Explosive Testimony From Kid Cudi In Diddy’s Federal Case
Prosecutors are getting ready to bring in a high-profile witness—none other than Kid Cudi—to testify against Sean “P. Diddy” Combs in his ongoing sex trafficking trial. While the exact date of his appearance hasn’t been revealed, sources say Scott Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi, is expected to take the stand sometime this week.
Internal documents and prior reports have tied Kid Cudi to Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura—identified as Victim-1 in the federal indictment.
One of the wildest claims? That Diddy, out of sheer jealousy, threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car.
Cassie’s Explosive Allegation: “He Was Going To Blow Up Kid Cudi’s Car”
According to Cassie’s civil lawsuit, obtained by The Mirror, “in February 2012, during Paris Fashion Week, Mr. Combs told Ms. Ventura that he was going to blow up Kid Cudi’s car, and that he wanted to ensure that Kid Cudi was home with his friends when it happened.”
Soon after, Kid Cudi’s car mysteriously exploded in his driveway.
That act of intimidation left Cassie shook. She described a follow-up meeting at Soho House where the topic came up. According to her, when Kid Cudi mentioned the car, Diddy coldly replied, “What vehicle?”—completely brushing off the terrifying moment.
The complaint states that Cassie “was terrified, as she began to fully comprehend what Mr. Combs was both willing and able to do to those he believed had slighted him.”
Once her suit became public, a rep for Kid Cudi confirmed to The New York Times, “This is all true.”
Behind The Scenes Of Diddy’s Explosive Legal Battle
Cassie’s civil case against Diddy, filed in November 2023, was settled out of court within 24 hours. No wrongdoing was admitted, but it triggered a wave of public scrutiny that hasn’t let up since.
Now, Diddy is staring down five federal charges across three separate indictments. They include:
Sex trafficking
Conspiracy to commit racketeering
Transportation for prostitution
He has pleaded not guilty and denies every single accusation—criminal and civil.
But the Kid Cudi angle adds more fuel to the fire. Not just because of the explosion, but also because of Cassie’s sworn testimony that Diddy tried to physically attack her after learning about their fling.
“He told me about videos that he had that he was going to release, and that he was going to hurt Scott and I,” Cassie told the court, referring to damaging footage he threatened to leak.
From Romance To Retaliation: Cassie and Cudi’s Short-Lived Relationship
Cassie and Kid Cudi’s romance didn’t last long, but the fallout clearly did. Though brief, their connection reportedly caused chaos behind the scenes, especially for Cassie—who found herself in a nightmare of jealousy, fear, and manipulation.
