Wed, 28 May 2025
“Did Diddy try to kill Kid Cudi?” In 2012, only a few gossip pages were wondering this question with the vast majority of readers wondering - “who even comes up with these crazy rumors?” Now, in 2025, it might not just be a rumor. Kid Cudi takes the witness stand to testify against Sean Combs. The man who allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s house, lit his car on fire, and according to a former assistant - the man who wanted Kid Cudi dead. This is Kid Cudi’s full testimony in the USA v. Sean Combs case and the reactions of celebrities turning on him after his story.
Chapter 1: What led to Kid Cudi's testimony?
And now he's sitting in that courtroom, and I will say, it does look like there's 90,000 other places Kid Cudi wants to be. but he does sit up there rather casually. Like, he looks like he might not want to be there, but he doesn't look afraid. He doesn't look intimidated. He looks like he's making a pit stop on a road trip to the federal courthouse before the long weekend.
His destination is the Hamptons. Prosecutor Johnson is in the middle of asking Kid Cudi a bunch of questions in front of the jurors. Why were you concerned about your safety? Kid Cudi is about to open his mouth and respond, but defense attorney Brian Steele, Young Thug's former attorney, passionately, I don't want to say scream, but he states into the mic, objection, your honor.
The judge is glancing over because, I mean, I don't know, maybe he's thinking what I'm thinking, which is, I feel like that's a valid question. Grounds, speculation, future dangerousness. The judge does not agree. That's overruled. And the prosecutor continues. Prosecutor Johnson looks back up at Kid Cudi. You just said you were concerned for your safety and Miss Ventura, Cassie's safety.
Why were you concerned about your safety? Because I kind of... Brian Steele stands up again. Your Honor, objection. Can we approach? The objection is overruled. Could you just ask the question again, Ms. Johnson? Sure. We were talking about when you broke off your relationship with Ms. Ventura. Do you remember that? Yes. And that was around the end of the year 2011, is that right? Yes.
And you mentioned that you had safety concerns. yes why did you have safety concerns because i knew that sean combs was vi brian steele is more aggressive this third time objection your honor can we approach now in the midst of this oddly heated exchange there is a sidebar where brian steele asks the judge may i yes Your Honor, I'm going to move for a mistrial.
This is Sean Combs' defense attorney. He says, Your Honor, I'm going to move for a mistrial. The government knows that the answer is about to be that Mr. Combs has had other people killed. This is an outrageous question. I'm sorry, what? The minute that you read this sidebar, because you don't hear this sidebar in court, you get the transcript at the end of the day.
Brian Steele, Sean Combs' defense attorney, is saying that the government knows that Kid Cudi is going to tell the jurors that Sean Combs has other people killed.
Yeah, that's some crazy things.
The judge argues back because that's just not how it works. He didn't say that, Brian Steele argues, but he will say that. He hasn't said that. Well, he's about to say it. I'm putting the court on notice. This is where the judge draws his boundaries. No, you don't get to put me on notice.

Chapter 2: What happened during the courtroom objections?
I'm back, they think I'm living life paranoid, mother fuck that man, they got me twisted, they don't know that boy, I'm just getting busy killing it, I just wanna watch it burn baby burn. That song was released in 2023. Another one is called Dennis hook me up with some of that whiskey. So these are like netizen speculations before Kid Cudi is testifying.
So I think the minute that people found out he's testifying on what day, the day before the internet is like, let's try to dig up anything we can find. Because so far, all we know is Cassie's civil lawsuit stated that Sean Combs allegedly tried to blow up Kid Cudi's Porsche. through a Molotov cocktail in there.
And then Cassie testified and she briefly also kind of mentioned it, but it didn't go in depth. And now people are like, okay, now that we know a general timeline, let's go through his music catalog. Another one is Dennis hooked me up with some of that whiskey. It was released the same year his car was set on fire.
A few months after actually, like two months later, the lyrics read, they really want me dead. Hate. Not my fault. I'm intriguing. Here I go with my second wind, bitch. You already know I'm going in. I've been waiting. I've been waiting to shit on you. Now, side note, screenshots show, old screenshots, allegedly show that he tweeted around this time when he released this song.
Do you guys want to know whose girl found me intriguing?
Wow.
And then he deleted it and allegedly he said that he was hacked. Even Kid Cudi's 2013, so this is a year after his car blows up, his 2013 album called Indie Cut, the album cover is just an explosion that's framed. It's like the red flames of an explosion with the parental advisory in the corner.
And netizens are now wondering, is that about Diddy allegedly trying to blow up his car because of Cassie? And everybody's confused. Are these songs about his car being set on fire? Which, side note, nobody even knew up until like a few years ago. I mean, how did they keep this under wraps for so long? That's what some netizens are wondering.
And I think a lot of the reason that netizens have taken it upon themselves to search into Kid Cudi's lyrics is he's pretty well known for his artistry. People will say that you can clearly see what type of era in life he is in by his music. His creative process feels a lot more raw versus manufactured like this sequence of lyrics will go TikTok viral, which nothing's wrong with that.

Chapter 3: What did Kid Cudi say about his safety concerns?
Before Kid Cudi walks into the courtroom, everybody's already turned looking at the door behind the pews. Like we are physically turned 180 degrees. Sean comes included. So I'm like looking at him through my peripheral. He's staring at the back doors for a second. And then I think he realizes that he doesn't want to be doing that because suddenly he's the only one facing forward.
He like refuses to look at the back now. When Kid Cudi walks in, everybody's staring. Everybody's body is shifting as he's walking down the aisle. Kid Cudi's eyes, just like many of the other witnesses, are trained to the front. He does not look at Diddy. He goes straight to the very front where the judge is. I mean, there's got to be at least a few fans in the courtroom, right?
Like, that's what I was thinking, because that was a lot of people in the press, the public, the gallery. I mean, hopefully not the jury, because they're not supposed to know who he is. Now, Sean Combs is a statue. Like just a statue again. He watches Kid Cudi when he's already in eyesight. And then he watches him sit all the way down on the witness stand. And it's a very intense look.
At some points during the direct, Combs looks like he's just staring in a trance. And all you hear are like the sketch artists going crazy on their canvases. And I will say they did do Kid Cudi a little dirty.
Now, Kid Cudi... Okay, now that you say Diddy is like a statue again.
Yes.
It sounds almost like when whoever's sitting there is a little more high stake for him or for the media, he's like a statue because he has to really watch everything because likely maybe he will want to show some reactions. So he put more emphasis on his own body languages.
When someone is more high stakes, he's definitely more statuesque, especially if it's a personal relationship. So I feel like there are other high stakes witnesses here and there, but it seems like the people...
But what about all the assistants that you mentioned that has came before Cuddy?

Chapter 4: How did Sean Combs react to Kid Cudi's testimony?
Now the sad part is even afterwards, Kid Cudi's dog was basically never the same. Kid Cudi does describe his dog as being very jittery and kind of on edge all the time afterwards. which I'm sure the defense attorneys really did not like that he said that. After you got to your home, what did you do after that? I got in the car and that's when I called Sean Combs. Why did you call Mr. Combs again?
Because I was looking for him. Why were you looking for him? Because I wanted to confront him. I wanted to fight him, you know? Did he answer? Yes. Can you describe that conversation for the jury? I can't remember my exact words, but I was kind of like asking him where he was and he was like, I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
So at that point, I hung up and I thought to myself, I was like, okay, you're angry. You're angry. Just think about this, you know? And like, I just thought like, I don't know who he has with him. I don't know what his intentions are. What were your concerns, if any, about going to your house that day? I didn't really know what I was walking into, but I was so angry at first.
Then once I thought about it, not really knowing if they had any weapons or if there was any type of situation like that, that's when I called the police. Mr. Muscati, what did you do after that phone call with Sean Combs? I thought about the reality of the situation, not knowing what I was walking myself into, so I decided to call the police.
Kid Cudi says the police arrive at his house, they make a report, and he goes back to Cassie, who just seems really stressed out. Now, since it's right around Christmas time, and I don't know if this was planned, I don't think that this was the original plan, Cassie had plans to go be with her family in Connecticut. Kid Cudi ends up flying out with her.
So perhaps it's like this event startled them. So he got tickets or he already was going to go. I don't know. He flies out with her, stays with her and the family. Can you generally describe Miss Ventura's demeanor when you were in Connecticut for the holidays with her family? I think being around her family really did a lot for her at the time. She really needed it.
But while they're still there, Sean Combs is still reaching out to Kid Cudi, texting him. I mean, it wasn't every day. It kind of stopped at some point when I responded to him and I told him I didn't want to talk. His text messages were always along the lines of him wanting to speak. Just get to the bottom of it. When you say get to the bottom of it, what are you talking about?
Just figure out what's going on, I guess. He was in the dark about things and wanted to talk. But at that point, you know, post break in, I don't want to talk to him. Did you respond to Mr. Combs text? Yeah, I told him, you know, specifically told him you broke into my house. You messed with my dog. Like, I don't want to talk to you. This is December of 2011. They get back in January of 2012.
So like weeks later, Cassie and Kid Cudi aren't even hanging out much anymore. So according to Cassie's testimony, she mentioned that she wanted to end things with Kid Cudi because it was just escalating to be too much. And she felt like this was the safest way for all the parties involved.
