Kid Cudi Testifies in Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sex Trafficking Trial

Kid Cudi testified that Cassie Ventura contacted him in December 2011, sounding distraught, because Combs had found out about their relationship. He picked her up and took her to a hotel to ensure her safety.

Cudi stated that Combs' employee, Capricorn Clark, informed him that Combs and an associate were at Cudi's home. Upon returning home, Cudi found his security cameras repositioned, Christmas gifts opened, and his dog locked in the bathroom.

In 2012, Cudi's Porsche was set on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Cassie Ventura had previously testified that Combs threatened to blow up Cudi's car, suggesting he would have someone else do it and would be out of the country at the time.

George Kaplan, Combs' former executive assistant, testified about witnessing violent incidents involving Combs, including one on a private plane where Cassie Ventura cried out, 'Isn’t anybody seeing this?' He also stated that Combs ordered him to buy makeup to cover bruises on Ventura's face.

Kaplan described the demanding nature of working for Combs, noting that Combs made exacting demands and regularly threatened to fire him. Despite this, he acknowledged that working for Diddy was a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.'
