New York, NY – On May 22, 2025, rapper Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, took the stand in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York City.
Cudi shared shocking details about incidents that happened in 2011 and 2012, when he briefly dated Combs’ ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura.
Cudi testified that Ventura told him she was no longer with Combs when they started dating in 2011.

However, he later learned she had misled him about her relationship with Combs and had even shared Cudi’s home address with him. Cudi claimed that Combs broke into his Hollywood Hills home in December 2011 after finding out about their romance. During the break-in, Cudi said Combs locked his dog in a bathroom and unwrapped his family’s Christmas gifts.
A few weeks later, in early 2012, Cudi’s Porsche was set on fire in his driveway with a Molotov cocktail, causing major damage. Photos shown in court revealed a hole cut in the car’s roof where the explosive was placed.

Cudi testified that he believed Combs was behind the car fire, especially since Ventura had previously said Combs threatened to blow up Cudi’s car.
Cudi also shared that Ventura called him in a panic in December 2011, warning him that Combs knew about their relationship and had his address.

Cudi moved Ventura to a hotel to keep her safe, but he got a call from Combs’ assistant, Capricorn Clark, saying Combs was at his house. Cudi confronted Combs over the phone, angrily asking why he was there.
Despite Ventura’s claims to Cudi that Combs was abusive to her, she still gave Combs his address, which led to the break-in and car explosion, according to Cudi’s testimony. The incidents left Cudi’s dog traumatized, and he later ended his relationship with Ventura due to the drama.
