Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, including sex trafficking and racketeering. His ex, Cassie Ventura, testified against him for four days at the start of the trial,

Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, was called as a witness by the prosecution. Mescudi, the "Pursuit of Happiness" rapper, was once in a brief relationship with Combs' ex, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura .

Sean Combs’ trial continues to unfold in New York, with some high-profile individuals finding themselves in the mix due to taking the witness stand. One of the latest stars to become embroiled in the case is rapper Kid Cudi,

After Kid Cudi took the stand last week in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, lawyers for the music mogul are hitting back.

Combs has pleaded not guilty. Prior to Combs’ criminal case, Mescudi was included in a civil lawsuit filed in 2023 against Combs by his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Mescudi and Ventura had a brief relationship in 2011, when she and Combs were in a “rough patch” in their relationship, according to her lawsuit.

Attorneys for Diddy are asking for elements of Kid Cudi's testimony about a 2012 car-bombing to be struck from the record of the rap mogul's trial.

Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, is expected to begin his testimony May 21 or May 22. Cudi is the one-time fling of Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine, who testified last week that Combs allegedly blew up Cudi's car during their short-lived relationship after he found out about the pairing.

Kid Cudi testified Thursday against Sean “Diddy” Combs, detailing a Molotov cocktail attack on his Porsche and an alleged break-in he attributes to the music mogul.
