What scandal is breaking in the Diddy trial?
Hey, welcome to the Friday edition of The Nerve. And here in the States, we are going into our first holiday weekend together. It's a milestone. I'm Maureen Callahan, your host, and I am here to serve you, to serve all of you troublemakers a fresh batch of scandal, sin, celebrity gossip, plus audience emails and what we call real talk about fake people. We also have a great segment about what we are now told. I think this is the perfect segment going into a big holiday weekend to kick off the summer. So we are now being told that the perils of drinking alcohol are so grave that even a single drop will kill you. Okay. Now these are warnings I have been skeptical of since they were leveled towards us. And you know, It may be the Irish in me, okay?
But we are going to have a smart, nuanced, challenging conversation about this with two experts who I am so excited to have on the show and I know you guys are going to love. But first, we are wrapping up week two of the Diddy trial here in Manhattan. And the past few days have seen bombshell after bombshell. So we have got an incredible, incredible expert to break all of this down. Kayla Brantley is a correspondent for the Daily Mail, where I call them twice a week. She's been in the courtroom since the beginning, and she is also the host of The Mail's incredible podcast, The Trials of Diddy. We are so happy to have her. Welcome, Kayla. Thanks for coming to The Nerve. Hey, Maureen. Thanks for having me.
So give me your post-traumatic stress disorder level on a scale of 1 to 10, now that you've been in there two weeks.
Yeah, you know, I'd say we're maybe at a six. I think I'm able to keep it together a little bit. But it's just been crazy. Like you said, bombshell after bombshell. Today we had Kid Cudi on the stand. I mean, that's what you expect from a high-profile case like this.
Yes, we have to get into Kid Cudi's testimony. For any of the audience members who are not familiar, he was a fairly prominent rapper. And he and Diddy, I think they were fighting over Cassie. He had told this to the New York Times, but we got a lot more detail today, that his Porsche, which I believe is how you pronounce it. I'm not trying to be a pretentious asshole. I just think that's how it is pronounced, was blown up. Like, a Molotov cocktail. He was pretty sure Diddy had done it. And also, we got more detail, like, Diddy broke into the house and, like, locked up his dog. Like, please, Kayla, explain. Explain.
Yeah, well, exactly like you just said, Maureen. I mean... This was a bombshell testimony. We first heard about this blown up Porsche back in Cassie's lawsuit in 2023. And that was a bombshell in and of itself. But today was the first time that we really heard that confirmed out of Kid Cudi's mouth to say, yeah, actually, Diddy broke into my home in December of 2011. And then a few weeks later, in January of 2012, his Porsche blows up by a Molotov cocktail.
Kayla, how did he know that it was Diddy who had broken in? And where is this house? Is this New Jersey? No, this was in Los Angeles. L.A.? Okay. So does this sort of go to the feds piecing together this multi-state criminal enterprise that's sort of the spine of their prosecution?
Well, it would appear that that's what they're really leading up to here because that's what everyone's waiting for, for them to really prove that this was a big racketeering conspiracy, an enterprise, if you will. But yeah, so the way that he knew or felt that he knew, of course, you know, did he never admitted it? But he was dating Cassie at that time while Cassie... Kid Cudi was. Yes, Kid Cudi was dating Cassie while Cassie and Diddy were on a break. She ended up going back to Diddy. And... He actually testified that Cassie had told him that Diddy had gotten violent with her, that he had never seen it with his own eyes, but he knew, and this is what he said, he knew Diddy to be a violent man, that he had wanted to talk to him and Diddy had ignored him.
And then finally, after his Porsche caught on fire, Kid Cudi reached out to Diddy to say, all right, let's meet. They met up at Soho House, spoke man to man. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
