Rapper Kid Cudi To Testify At Sean ‘Diddy' Comb's Hearing, Details Here
Last Updated:
In her lawsuit, Cassie Ventura claimed that Sean Diddy Combs wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car out of anger.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Kid Cudi are all set to come face-to-face, not for a musical battle but the ongoing legal trial against the Bad Boy Records founder. Kid Cudi, who will be giving a testimony in the ongoing sex trafficking case against Diddy, is expected to take the stand in the lower Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.
The update came after the Wednesday hearing when the jury informed the judges and the defence team about the Man on the Moon rap star's absence in the court, with the feds unveiling that Cudi would be in the witness box on Thursday. Kid Cudi's appearance comes days after his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, during her week-long testimony delved into the details of their brief romantic relationship. She also touched upon the allegations about Combs blowing up Cudi's car in the past.
It is yet to be seen how Kid Cudi's testimony sheds more light on the investigation in connection with Ventura's claims and charges against Diddy's involvement in racketeering and sex trafficking.
Cassie Ventura's Lawsuit – Diddy And Kid Cudi
During her testimony, Ventura revealed that Sean 'Diddy' Combs wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car, forcing her to break up with the Happy Gilmore 2 star. She also testified to meeting with Diddy and Cudi in Los Angeles to discuss the end of their relationship. Ventura's lawsuit came with more shocking details, revealing how Diddy discovered her relationship with Cudi during a freak-off, prompting him to lunge at her with a corkscrew, as per Forbes.
While Ventura managed to escape and flee to Cudi's home, she was threatened by Diddy's staff to come back. She was later subjected to physical assault upon attempting to run out of the house. It was during the Paris Fashion Week in February 2012 when Diddy admitted that he wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car. The explosion did happen, leaving Ventura 'terrified and in disbelief."
Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, won two Grammy Awards for his collaborative songs with Kanye West and Rihanna. His Man on the Moon album trilogy was also a big hit. Cudi has also appeared in several films, including Crisis and X.
Sean Diddy Combs is currently charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution amid a number of other lawsuits. The trial began on May 5.

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sanjay Kapur, a well-known Indian businessman, passed away in the United Kingdom at the age of 53. This unfortunate incident occurred when he suffered a heart attack during a polo match. His funeral was held on June 19. In light of this, Karisma Kapoor has traveled to Delhi with her children, Kian and Samaira. Kareena and Saif Ali Khan were also seen accompanying her. Sunjay And His Assets Worth Billions Sunjay Kapur was the son of Rani Kapoor and the late Surinder Kapoor, who were pioneers in India's auto component industry and founded the Sona Group. From a young age, Sunjay was identified as the heir to the family legacy. He joined the family business in 2003 and successfully expanded it on a global scale. According to Forbes, his net worth at the time of his death was $1.2 billion (approximately ₹10,300 crore), surpassing that of many A-list Bollywood actors. Sunjay Kapur worked diligently in the business world, which led to his position as Chairman of Sona Comstar. He was also well-educated; reports from Bollywoodshaadis indicate that he completed his early education at Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. He then attended Doon School in Dehradun and later pursued higher education abroad, obtaining a graduate degree in Business Administration from London. Sunjay Kapur's Marriages While Sunjay Kapur built a strong reputation in the business sector, his personal life often attracted public attention. He was married three times. His first marriage was to Mumbai-based fashion designer Nandita Mahtani, which ended in 2000. In 2003, he married Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor in what was considered one of the most lavish celebrity weddings of that time. They had two children together, a daughter named Samaira and a son named Kiaan. However, their relationship ended in 2016, surprising many. Despite their separation, Sunjay and Karisma remained committed to co-parenting their children. In 2017, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev, who had a daughter named Safira Chatwal from a previous marriage. The couple welcomed their son, Azarius, in 2018.

Ex-assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs says job included buying drugs, setting up sex parties
* Ex-assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs says job included buying drugs, setting up sex parties Brendan Paul testifies about hip-hop mogul's drug use * Paul says he bought Combs drugs but was not a 'drug mule' * Combs' defense says sexual activities were consensual By Luc Cohen NEW YORK, - Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former personal assistant testified on Friday at the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial that he often bought drugs for his boss and set up hotel rooms for sex parties known as "wild king nights." Prosecutors hope the testimony by Brendan Paul, who worked for Combs from late 2022 through March 2024, will help them prove their racketeering conspiracy charge against Combs. Prosecutors say Combs used his businesses' resources to coerce women into ecstasy-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all five criminal counts. His lawyers call the sexual activity consensual. The Bad Boy Records founder, a former billionaire who elevated hip-hop in American culture, could face life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors are winding down their case after six weeks, with defense witnesses expected to testify next week. Paul, testifying under immunity from prosecutors, said he bought Combs about $4,200 of marijuana and hundreds of dollars of ketamine during his employment. Jurors saw a text message in which Paul asked Combs' security staff to be reimbursed for his drug purchases. They also saw a Feb. 14, 2024 text message in which Combs wrote "You get me zans," which Paul said was a request to procure Xanax without a prescription. Paul said Combs ultimately obtained Xanax elsewhere, and used cocaine and ecstasy in his presence. Under cross-examination by defense lawyer Brian Steel, Paul said procuring drugs was a minor part of his job, and he thought the drugs were solely for Combs' personal use. "You were not some drug mule?" Steel asked. "Absolutely not," Paul said. Paul also said that before three or four "wild king nights," he stocked hotel rooms with lubricant, baby oil, liquor and a Gucci pouch filled with hard drugs. When Combs was done, Paul said he would put on gloves and clean up to avoid being billed by hotels for damage. Paul said he was charged with cocaine possession after being arrested on March 25, 2024, at Miami-Opa Locka airport in Florida while traveling to the Bahamas with Combs and other staffers. He said he put the cocaine in his bag after finding it while cleaning Combs' room that day, but forgot about it and did not tell law enforcement where it came from. Asked by prosecutor Christy Slavik why he kept silent, Paul said, "Loyalty." Paul said the cocaine charge was dropped.
