Kid Cudi took the position today in sex trade with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The rapper-if real name is Scott Mescudi-dated Cassie Ventura in 2010 during one of the breaks in his 11-year relationship with Combs.
Today, Mescudi revealed that she opened to him about the abuse she endured at Combs’ hands.
Kid Cudi remembers the beginning of his relationship with Cassie Ventura
Mescudi told the court that he and Ventura met around Thanksgiving in 2010. They started dating in 2011 and he says he understood at the time “she and Sean Combs had some problems and they were no longer dating (per CNN).
However, it seems that Cassie and Diddy’s relationship had not ended with a pure break.
Mescudi recalls that shortly after he started dating Ventura, his house was broken in.
He and Ventura contacted Combs in the wake of the burglary, and Mogul allegedly told Mescudi, “I just want to talk to you.”
Kid Cudi claims abuse, vandalism from combs
As testimony that may prove to be harmful to defense, Cudi remembered Cassie told him “that [Diddy] would beat her, sometimes kick her, ”
Mescudi said that after he and Ventura ended their short relationship, he felt “the game” and “disturbed” when he was told she had gone back to Combs.
Shortly thereafter, Mescudis Porsche was damaged by a Molotov cocktail. While many believe that Diddy is responsible for that vandalism, no charges were never filed against him.
Cudi told the court that he met with Combs after examining the damage to his car.
“Sean Combs stood there staring out the window with his hands behind his back, like a Marvel Supervillain,” Cudi told the court about their meeting.
Cudi then detailed a conversation he had with Diddy about the car bombing. He told the court that Combs denied any knowledge of the crime.
When asked by prosecutor Emily Johnson how he felt about Combs’ denial, Cudi replied: “That he is lying.”
Cudi is one of many character vitner who may lack direct knowledge of Combs’ crimes, but whose testimony can be valuable to prosecutors in their efforts to produce the disgraceful mogul as a violent, unreasonable tyrann who insisted on absolute obedience from those around him, even in matters related to sex.
Diddy – who has been behind pillars since September last year – is in trial for a counting of racketing conspiracy, two counts of sex trade with power, fraud or coercion and two transport counts to participate in prostitution.
We will have additional updates on this ongoing test when new information becomes available.
