Kid Cudi just lit up Diddy’s sex trafficking trial with a wild claim — accusing the music mogul of breaking into his house after finding out Cudi was dating Diddy’s ex, Cassie.

Cudi — real name Scott Mescudi — took the stand Thursday (May 22) during Diddy’s ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial, and his testimony was straight out of a Hollywood thriller.
“I had a break-in,” he told the court, according to Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee. “Cassie called me around 5:30 or 6 a.m. She told me Diddy had found out about us and asked me to come pick her up. She sounded stressed and scared — so I got her out of there.”
The Cleveland Native says he brought Cassie to a West Hollywood hotel to keep her safe from a reportedly furious Diddy. But it didn’t end there. He testified that while they were at the hotel, one of Diddy’s employees — who sounded “very scared” — told them that Diddy and an associate were already inside Cudi’s Hollywood Hills home. The employee said he was waiting outside.
On his way back, Cudi says he called Diddy — who allegedly answered with a chilling line: “I’m over here waiting for you.”
Counsel For Diddy Attempted to Get Dog’s Condition Thrown Out of Case
When Cudi arrived, he didn’t find Diddy — but discovered the aftermath. Someone had torn open his family’s Christmas presents and locked his dog in the bathroom. Worse, Cudi says his dog came out of the incident physically hurt and mentally shaken.
“He became jittery and was on edge all the time,” Cudi said, describing how his dog’s behavior changed after the break-in.
Diddy’s lawyer, Brian Steel, tried to block that part of the testimony, arguing that talk of a traumatized dog could sway any “dog lovers” on the jury. The judge ruled that Cudi could describe the dog’s immediate reaction, but not any claims of long-term effects.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Authorities arrested him in September 2024 at a Manhattan hotel, and he now faces serious accusations that he used threats, drugs, and his power in the hip-hop world to control women.
Cassie has alleged that the Bad Boy mogul forced her into drug-fueled sex acts with other men — known as “freak-offs” — that left her emotionally shattered and unable to focus on her music career.
