Rapper Kid Cudi is reportedly set to take the stand later this week in the ongoing trial involving music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The development follows claims made by Diddy’s former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who alleged in a lawsuit that Diddy once “blew up” Kid Cudi’s car in a fit of jealousy.
According to the lawsuit, Combs became enraged upon learning that Cassie was romantically involved with Kid Cudi. “Mr. Combs grew so angry about her dating the rapper Kid Cudi that he said he would blow up the rapper’s car,” the filing states. It further alleges that shortly thereafter, “Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway.”
Kid Cudi, through a spokesperson, has since confirmed the incident, stating, “This is all true.”
As previously reported, Cassie’s former best friend, Keri Morgan, testified in the Diddy trial as well.
Morgan testified that she’s witnessed Diddy assault Cassie on multiple occasions. She even alleges that Diddy once struck her in an attempt to find out who Cassie was “cheating” on him with.
Morgan recalls visiting Cassie’s home, and listening to music when Combs walked into the living room where she was sitting. As Cassie was in the restroom, Diddy came up behind Morgan, chocked her and hit her on the side of her head with a wooden hanger. She says she sought medical attention following the alleged assault and was diagnosed with a concussion.
Morgan says she hired an attorney following the incident, however, she decided not to press charges against the music mogul. He instead offering her $30,000 and signed an NDA. She says since that incident she has never spoken to Cassie again.
