Cudi’s testimony in the Manhattan federal court detailed his brief romantic relationship with R&B singer Cassie Ventura in 2011 and the troubling incidents that followed. He recounted how Combs allegedly orchestrated a break-in at his Hollywood Hills home, describing how Combs and an associate entered without permission. Cudi found evidence of the intrusion, including opened Christmas gifts and his dog locked in a bathroom, visibly distressed. He contacted police and filed a report.

Weeks later, Cudi testified that his Porsche 911 convertible was set ablaze outside his home. Prosecutors presented photos showing fire damage and a Molotov cocktail found inside the vehicle. Although no direct evidence linked Combs to the arson, emails surfaced revealing threats from Combs toward Cudi and Cassie.

Despite tensions, Cudi described a later meeting with Combs and Cassie where Combs appeared “calm” but “off-putting.” Under cross-examination, Cudi admitted feeling “played” by Cassie, acknowledging she had misled him about her ongoing relationship with Combs.

The trial continues with prosecutors advancing allegations of abuse and retaliation by Combs, who denies all charges. Cudi’s testimony has drawn wide attention, sparking discussions in the hip-hop community about loyalty and the boundaries of testimony in high-profile legal cases. Following the testimony, rapper Young Thug briefly called Cudi a “rat” on Twitter, a comment he quickly deleted, fueling debate over loyalty and snitching in hip-hop culture.
