Cassie testified during Sean 'Diddy' Combs's trial, alleging that Diddy made violent threats towards her and Kid Cudi when they were in a relationship, leading her to end things with Cudi due to safety concerns.
In 2011, Diddy reportedly threatened that Kid Cudi's car would be blown up if their romantic relationship continued, a threat that materialized into reality in 2012 when Cudi’s car was set on fire.
Public records and a spokeswoman for Kid Cudi confirmed that his Porsche was intentionally set on fire in his driveway, with the fire department labeling the ignition as intentional and estimating the damage at $10,000.
Diddy's lawyer argues that there is no direct evidence linking Diddy to the car bombing, emphasizing that the government has not identified who was responsible for the act, and Diddy denies any involvement.
The courtroom revelations add to the complex legal issues surrounding Diddy, who faces various charges including sex trafficking, though he has pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
