He met Combs at the Soho House of Los Angeles, where he walked into a room with just Combs standing there, staring out of a window with his arms behind his back, looking like, as Kid Cudi testified, some kind of a Marvel supervillain. That line got a laugh from the jury.

Although Cassie testified she started seeing Kid Cudi when she and Combs' relationship was in a rough patch, Kid Cudi testified that Cassie told him they had been split up. On cross-examination, the defense said both Kid Cudi and Combs were played by the same woman. The person who played you, the person who played Sean, was Miss Ventura, true? One of the lawyers asked. Yeah, Kid Cudi replied.

And this week, the jury saw other photos too, including pictures of baby oil, lingerie, platform heels, and sex toys. You'll recall Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by federal agents back in 2024.

Special Agent Gerard Gannon testified that the feds recovered the parts of two AR-15 assault-style rifles with defaced serial numbers only feet from where Combs allegedly stored supplies for freak-offs. Prosecutors have argued that the threat of violence allowed Combs to coerce his alleged victims to participate in freak-offs.

Jurors also saw baggies of colorful pills and other drugs allegedly found in Combs' home, including marijuana, powders, and other drugs that prosecutors have alleged were used to make participants compliant during freak-offs and would allow them to perform well past the point of exhaustion.

Thursday afternoon, a makeup artist who worked with Diddy and Cassie testified that she saw Cassie with a swollen eye and busted lip and knots on her head after the Grammys in 2010. Altogether, this week, it felt like the prosecution was really beginning to build support for its racketeering conspiracy charges. This is Bad Rap, the case against Diddy.

I'm Brian Buckmeyer, an ABC News legal contributor and practicing attorney. This episode, prosecutors go for the big fish. As we wrap up the second week of USA v.

My guest, Moira Penza, is a trial attorney working in private practice. She's not involved in the Diddy prosecution, but she's got a lot of interesting insight because back in 2019, she was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Moira was the lead prosecutor on a RICO and sex trafficking case the government brought against a man named Keith Raniere.
