It was not exactly the rap battle that someone probably considered, but on May 22 will see Sean “Diddy” Combres and Kid Cudi compete as the Happy Gilmore 2 Star gives testimonies in the sex trafficking trial of the founder of the Bad Boy Records.
Kid Cudi (alias Scott Mescudi) will take a stand in the courtroom of the Lower Manhattan of judge Arun Subramanian on Thursday, the prosecutors confirmed today.
The start of the hearing on Wednesday before the jury was in the room by informing the judge and the defense team that the rap star “Man on the Moon” would not testify today, the federals unveiled at the end of the day, after the jurors’ release, that Kid Cudi would now be in the witnesses box on Thursday. According to the assistant American prosecutor Maurene Comey (yes, as we noted previously, daughter of the former FBI director, American lawyer and enemy Trump James Comey), the Federals expect Kid Cudi to be a brief witness. With the Grammy winner, the accusation intends to call a total of five witnesses on Thursday – all to be treated fairly quickly, they insist.

By joining Cassie Ventura, a few male escorts that have been paid for filmed sex with Ventura in the “monsters” so much discussed, Ventura’s mother and some law enforcement, Mescudi will be the 13thth Witness of the American lawyer’s office for the South New York district in the COMBS criminal case. As every day of the trial, the selection of the jury and the preliminary hearings, Combs was in court today and will be tomorrow.
Preserved at eight weeks, the Criminal trial of the Diddy so hooked follows his arrest last September for racketeering, sex trafficking, transport to engage in prostitution and even more. Incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest, after a trio of attempted failure of the $ 50 million deposit, Diddy has always insisted that he was innocent. He has taken the same position in the dozens of civil abuse and assault proceedings that have been deposited in justice tickets in recent months. Rejecting a government advocacy agreement, Combs could face the life behind bars if it was found guilty in this criminal trial.

From the moment Cassie Ventura deposited it very quickly in pursuing abuse and assault roads very quickly settled against the boyfriend Combs at the end of 2023, the name Kid Cudi was connected to the self-written “toxic relationship” between the singer “Me & U” and the player “All About the Benjamins”.
While various deposits, as well as the testimonies of Ventura and her mother declared it, the singer and Mescudi had a short romantic relationship in 2012. With various threats against the duo, a jealous comb promised to explode Kid Cudi’s car in his own entrance to keep him away from Ventura. While the Ventura deposit in 2023 undoubtedly said it: “At that time, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his alley.”
At the time, the representatives of Kid Cudi confirmed the destruction of the car from a decade before.
Cudi will testify just after the jury heard the former executive assistant from Diddy, George Kaplan. On Wednesday, in court, under the constraint of an assignment, like another ex-Aa David James, who testified earlier this week, Kaplan entered the witnesses box around 11:45 pm.
