Today, Kid Cudi became the third famous artist to testify in the case and while on the witness stand, Cudi told the story of how his Porsche was allegedly firebombed during the brief period that he and Cassie were dating. When Cassie sued Combs for alleged rape and alleged physical assault in 2023, her lawsuit mentioned that Combs once allegedly threatened to blow up Cudi’s car and that the car allegedly exploded in Cudi’s driveway shortly thereafter.
A spokesperson for Cudi confirmed the incident happened and when federal prosecutors brought charges against Combs, they cited the story of the alleged firebombing. As The New York Times reports, Cudi appeared in court to further talk about the alleged story.
In his testimony, Cudi confirmed that he and Cassie were friends and that they “dated briefly,” beginning in 2011, as Pitchfork reports. Cudi said that Cassie and Combs “had some problems and they weren’t dating” at the time. Cudi testified that he got call from Cassie one morning and that she told him that Combs was allegedly “abusive” and that he had learned about the relationship.
Cudi picked Cassie up and brought her to a Los Angeles hotel. The same morning, Cudi said that he got a call from Combs’ employee Capricorn Clark, who told Cudi that Combs was allegedly in his home at that moment. Cudi was not at his home when he got the call and he said he allegedly called Combs and that he allegedly cursed him out and told him, “I’m over here waiting for you.”
Cudi testified that he returned to his Hollywood Hills house to discover that Combs was not there but that the house was allegedly “in disarray” and that his dog, who was “very jittery,” had been locked in a bathroom. Cudi said that he called Combs afterward: “I wanted to confront him. I wanted to fight him.” But he decided against it, instead reporting the break-in to the police. Soon afterward, Cudi and Cassie broke up.
Kid Cudi testified that he got an early-morning phone call in January 2012 from his dogsitter, who told him that his Porsche convertible was on fire in the driveway. The court displayed photos of Cudi’s car, which had its roof cut open, as well as the Molotov cocktail that was found nearby. Last week, Cassie testified that Combs allegedly threatened to blow up Cudi’s car at one point.
