Professionally known as Kid Cudi, rapper Scott Mescudi is expected to testify this week at the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs‘ trial.
Prosecutor Maureen Comey confirmed additional witnesses will include Dawn Hughes, a psychologist who specializes in sex trauma; George Kaplan, a former Combs assistant; and Mescudi, with whom Cassie Ventura testified she had a brief romantic relationship.
According to Ventura’s testimony, Mescudi met her in December 2011. In an 11-year relationship with Combs at the time, the star witness previously testified that she was “up and down” at her fling with Mescudi, and stated that she and Combs “weren’t in the greatest place”. She added that when the defendant found out Ventura was seeing Mescudi, he was “irate”, and grew so infuriated about her dating the young rapper that he threatened to blow up the singer’s car and wanted Cudi’s friends to see it.
“Sean wanted Scott’s friends to see Scott’s car get blown up,” Ventura confirmed.
Combs is accused of being the ringleader of an alleged enterprise that “abused, threatened and coerced women” into prolonged, drug-fueled orgies with male prostitutes, which he called “freak offs”, and then threatening them into silence. The disgraced music mogul said that all of the sex was consensual, and that while his relationships sometimes involved domestic violence, he wasn’t engaged in trafficking.
