Kid Cudi Testifies in Diddy Trial That His Car Was Set on Fire Weeks After Sean Combs Broke Into His Home

Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, took the witness stand in the disgraced mogul's sex trafficking trial and said he and Cassie briefly dated in 2011.

Cassie testified last week that Combs had threatened to blow up Cudi’s car and hurt him after he learned she was dating the Grammy Award-winning rapper, who is known for his alternative hip-hop style. He denies allegations that he used threats and his powerful position in the hip-hop world to abuse women and others, and force Cassie to take part in drug-fueled sexual performances called freak-offs with other men that she said left her too drained to pursue her singing career. “There was tremendous commotion and a scuffle, and then after the glass crashed, Cassie screamed: ‘Isn’t anybody seeing this?” Kaplan testified, adding that neither he nor any of the security workers or Bad Boy staff on the plane responded to her call for help.
