Kid Cudi has opened up about his experience testifying in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial, admitting he found the process deeply uncomfortable but felt compelled to support his former partner, Cassie Ventura. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, the rapper explained that although he initially resisted, he ultimately complied with a federal subpoena to appear in court.
Cudi revealed that he declined to testify several times before authorities forced his hand. When asked about his courtroom appearance, Cudi explained his choice to dress casually instead of wearing a traditional suit and tie, opting for authenticity over formality.
The testimony focused on Cudi’s past romantic involvement with Cassie, which reportedly angered Diddy. On the stand, Cudi recounted an incident in which Diddy allegedly broke into his home and suggested that the hip-hop mogul’s associates may have firebombed his Porsche using a Molotov cocktail. His statements supported Cassie's broader claims of harassment and abuse during her relationship with Diddy.
Cudi said he chose to testify primarily to show support for Cassie, describing her time with Diddy as “living a nightmare.” Reflecting on the love triangle between himself, Cassie, and Diddy, he described it as “just some wild s*** that happened in my rock-and-roll life.”
Though Diddy was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, he remains in custody in New York on prostitution-related offenses and is awaiting sentencing. Cassie, who took the stand late in her pregnancy, has since given birth to her third child.
Cudi concluded by expressing his happiness that Cassie is now doing well, noting her strength and resilience following the ordeal.
