Rapper Kid Cudi has testified against his friend Sean “Diddy” Combs in a Manhattan Federal Court trial, claiming that Combs broke into his home in 2011 after discovering he was dating Cassie Ventura. The trial is ongoing, with Combs facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Cudi alleged that Combs coerced women, including Ventura, into participating in sex parties over a period of 20 years. Combs’ lawyers argue that the women participated voluntarily, but Cudi claimed that he was scared when he arrived at his home to find it had been ransacked and his dog locked in a bathroom.
Ventura has also testified against Combs, sharing her own experiences of physical and emotional abuse suffered during alleged “freak off” parties. She said the more she healed, the more she could remember, and vowed to help others who have suffered similar trauma.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and his lawyers maintain that the women involved in the parties did so consensually. The trial continues with Cudi’s testimony providing a key piece of evidence against Combs.
