Diddy's Former Assistant Testifies The Rapper Kidnapped Her At Gunpoint In 2011 In A Plot To Kill Kid Cudi
As the third week of testimony continues in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal trial, in which he faces up to life in prison for charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, one of his former assistants has shared a shocking new claim.
On the stand, Capricorn Clark, who worked for Diddy from 2004 to 2011, testified that the "Making the Band" creator showed up at her home with a gun, allegedly part of a plot to kill rapper Kid Cudi.
On Tuesday, May 27, Clark, who began working for Diddy as his personal assistant, testified that the rapper allegedly threatened to kill her, Kid Cudi, and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, whom he dated on-and-off from 2008 to 2018.
According to USA Today, Clark alleged that after Diddy learned Cassie was dating Cudi during one of Diddy and Cassie's relationship breaks, the rapper showed up at her home "visibly upset" with a gun.
Following that, Clark told the court that Diddy made her get dressed and said, "We're gonna go kill this n—a," allegedly speaking about Cudi.
Clark testified that Diddy's behavior had her on edge, adding that she'd "never seen anything like this" before saying the "way he was acting, I just felt like anything could happen."
Clark later testified that she rode with Diddy and one of his security guards to Cudi's home, where she called Cassie to inform her about what was happening.
Later, Clark told the court that Diddy said he wouldn't let her go unless Cassie came to get her from him.
She also said that the rapper allegedly told her to convince Cassie and Cudi not to call the police because if they did, he would "kill all y'all motherf-ckers."
Last week, Cudi shared similar details about Diddy allegedly breaking into his home while he was dating Cassie.
After receiving the call from an assistant "on the verge of tears" that the father of seven was allegedly inside his home, Cudi claimed that he said to Diddy: "Motherf-cker, you in my house?" to which the rapper reportedly replied, "I just want to talk to you."
Cudi testified that when he arrived at his residence, Diddy and his assistant weren't there. However, he told the court that he noticed someone had opened Christmas presents meant for his loved ones and locked his dog in the bathroom, claiming the dog was "very on edge all the time" after the incident.
On the stand, Cudi also testified about his Porsche 911 convertible, which had been destroyed by fire.
Cudi told the court that he received a call from his dog sitter, who informed him that his $100,000 luxury vehicle was on fire. "What the f-ck?" he remembered thinking.
"I immediately went to my house," Cudi testified before revealing he learned a Molotov cocktail, or an "incendiary device," started the fire.
'The top of my Porsche was cut open and that's where they inserted the Molotov cocktail,' he said.
Following that, Cudi testified that he met with Diddy at Soho House in Los Angeles, where he found the "Diddy" performer waiting for him with his hands behind his back "like a Marvel supervillain."
When Cudi was asked in court why he arranged a meeting with Diddy after learning his car was set on fire, Cudi testified, "Because I knew he had something to do with it."
Cassie shared a similar story when she testified on the stand the week of May 12, adding that she had to stop seeing Cudi to keep them out of harm's way.
'Too much danger, too much uncertainty of what could happen if we continued to see each other,' the "Me & U" singer stated.
Days after Cudi's testimony, Diddy's lawyers have asked the court to strike the "Day N Nite" rapper's statements from the record, stating a "witness generally cannot testify that in his opinion, a declarant was lying when making a statement."
Diddy's defense team added that Cudi's testimony was "mere speculation," according to PEOPLE, and that it poses "significant dangers of unfair prejudice" against him.

Morgan Wallen sets negative headlines ablaze during 'I'm the Problem' tour opener
Morgan Wallen marked the opening night of his "I'm The Problem" Tour with a fiery performance at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, including what seemed to be his reaction to recent news headlines. According to multiple videos from fans in attendance at the June 20 concert, Wallen displayed a montage of negative headlines − including one that read "Morgan Wallen breaks COVID mask protocols" − during his performance of "I'm the Problem." After the song's performance, Wallen appeared to pour gasoline on the stage and then picked up a lighter, cueing a pyrotechnic show. "You say I'll never change, I'm just a go around town with some gasoline," Wallen sings during the opening lyrics of the song. "Just tryin' to bum a flame, gonna burn the whole place down." Wallen posted an Instagram video walking out before the concert with retired NFL legend Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Wallen and NRG Stadium for comment. "Morgan Wallen burns the place down while bringing the receipts," wrote one X user. Another user on TikTok wrote, "Morgan Wallen claps back at all the negative headlines and sets the stage on 'fire.'" Wallen has spent his fair share of time in the headlines. Earlier this year, he caused quite a stir by making an early exit from "Saturday Night Live" during a March episode of the NBC sketch series. In an unusual moment, he hugged Oscar-winning host Mikey Madison during the signoff before walking off stage and then taking to his Instagram stories to post a photo of a plane and wrote, "Get me to God's country." Morgan Wallen teases new album 'I'm The Problem' and announces 2025 tour The walk-off moment sparked a wave of criticism for the "Just In Case" hitmaker, who pleaded guilty last year to misdemeanor reckless endangerment after throwing a chair off the roof of a bar. In 2020, Wallen was uninvited from "SNL" after videos surfaced that showed him partying without a mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The next year, he shocked the music industry when he was captured on tape in a TMZ video using a derogatory racial slur commonly used to describe Black people. The "Kick Myself" singer will also perform Saturday, June 21. Wallen's tour is named after his fourth studio album, in its fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 top albums chart. His previous album, "One Thing at a Time," spent 19 weeks at No. 1 — the most weeks any country album has ever logged at No. 1. "One Thing" followed "Dangerous," which spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on its way to becoming Billboard's most successful album of the century so far.

Putin says 'the whole of Ukraine is ours'
The Russian president also wouldn't rule out taking the Ukrainian city of Sumy. Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested during an economic forum that the "whole of Ukraine" belongs to his country, even though Russia only controls about a fifth of Ukrainian territory. He made the comments on June 20 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, where he also indicated that he wouldn't "rule out" taking the northern Sumy region, which Russian troops have been rapidly advancing into in recent weeks. The regional capital of 250,000 people is located just over a dozen miles from the Russian border.

Ukraine's foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, condemned Putin's remarks, which he called "deranged." "Putin's cynical statements demonstrate complete disdain for US peace efforts," he wrote on X. "While the United States and the rest of the world have called for an immediate end to the killing, Russia's top war criminal discusses plans to seize more Ukrainian territory and kill more Ukrainians." The back-and-forth comes nearly two weeks after Russia launched one of its largest air attacks on Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, in over three years of war.
