The American rapper testified in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex-trafficking trial yesterday.
Kid Cudi has said that Diddy broke into his home and unwrapped his family’s Christmas presents.
This comes as the American rapper testified in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex-trafficking trial yesterday, Thursday May 22.
The trial is now in its second week of testimomy.
He claimed the break in occurred after Combs found out he was dating his ex, Cassie Ventura.
Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, reportedly had planned to give his family Christmas gifts from Chanel, which were unwrapped and opened during the alleged 2011 break-in.
Additionally, his dog was shut in the bathroom during the incident.
Mescudi claimed he learned of the break-in in real time.
He had spent the night with Ventura at the Sunset Marquis hotel.
Jurors were told by the rapper that Combs’ trusted assistants, Capricorn Clark, called to say that she was outside Mescudi’s house while Combs was inside.
She is alleged to have told him that Combs had ‘forced her physically’ to drive him there.
Mescudi recalled telling Combs over the phone: “Motherf*****, you in my house?” as he rushed to his Hollywood Hills home.
Mescudi claimed Combs’ said he ‘wanted to talk’ to him.
“I said, ‘I’m on my way over right now,” alleged Mescudi.
“And he said, ‘I’m over here waiting for you,’” the jury were told, claiming that Combs sounded ‘calm’.
Mescudi further added: “I wanted to confront him, I wanted to fight him,” but said he feared Combs might not be alone.
By the time he got to the home, Combs was gone.
“Some gifts that I had bought for my family had been opened,” Mescudi claimed.
“And then my dog was in my bathroom.”
He added that his dog was ‘very jittery’.
The judge barred prosecutors from asking Mescudi about long-term changes in his dog’s behaviour, including that it persisted in urinating on the floor.
“There are some dog lovers, potentially, on the jury,” complained defense lawyer Brian Steel complained to the judge.
US District Judge Arun Subramanian agreed.
“It’s a serious issue.
“I’ll stop any answers that are about the long-term consequences to the dog,” said Judge Subramanian.
