RAPPER Kid Cudi testified that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly broke into his home and hurt his dog in a jealous rage over his relationship with Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

The musician, born Scott Mescudi, also testified how weeks after Combs learned about his relationship with Ventura, his Porsche was set ablaze in the driveway of his home in Los Angeles in January 2012.

The courtroom was shown evidence photos of the damage to Mescudi’s Porsche after the sportscar’s convertible roof was cut open before a Molotov cocktail was thrown in it.

Photos showed the driver seats leather red interior heavily charred from the flames.

The interior driver seat door was suffered burned damage.

Ventura previously testified during week one of the trial how Combs became irate when he learned about her relationship with Mescudi.

A visibly pregnant Ventura told the courtroom that Combs made a series of threats against her and Mescudi.

During Mescudi’s testimony, prosecutors asked him about a break-in at his Los Angeles home that occurred in December 2011.

The break-in occurred as Mescudi went to met Ventura at a hotel after she told him that Combs found out about their relationship.

Mescudi said he called Combs, who said, “What’s up,” to which he responded, “Motherf**ker are you in my house?”

Combs allegedly told him, “I am here waiting for you,” the rapper testified.

When Mescudi arrived at his house, he recalled the exterior as appearing normal, but once he got inside he realized his security cameras had been moved.

Mescudi said some gifts he had bought for his family were opened, and his dog was locked in a bathroom.

When prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Mescudi about his car, the rapper said his dog sitter called him one morning in January 2012 and told him his Porsche was on fire.

Mescudi, who was at an ex-girlfriend’s sister’s house 45 minutes away, said his Porsche had been bombed by a Molotov cocktail.

When prosecutors asked about a photo of the car they showed him, Mescudi told them it was “the hole they cut in the roof of my car to put in the Molotov cocktail.”

Mescudi’s car bombing was mentioned in Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs, which she filed in 2023.

Combs and his defense team have denied being involved in the alleged arson.

During her four-day testimony, Ventura said Combs and Mescudi eventually met to discuss the relationship and detailed their conversation for the court.

At one point, Mescudi asked Combs, “What about my car?” And Combs replied coldly, “What car,” Ventura testified.

COMBS’ FORMER ASSISTANT TESTIFIES

Mescudi, 41, is among six witnesses prosecutors will call forward on Thursday.

The day’s proceedings began with George Kaplan, Combs’ former assistant, back on the stand.

Kaplan testified on Wednesday about his time working at Combs Enterprises between 2013 and 2015.

The former assistant said he would routinely book hotel rooms for Combs under the name Frank Black, which he said was a reference to the late Bad Boy Records rapper Biggie Smalls, whose nickname was “Frank White.”

Kaplan described working punishing “80 to 100-hour” work weeks, which would involve ensuring Combs’ breakfast was cooked and his bathroom was stocked with all his essentials.

The assistant told jurors his job would also involve prepping hotel rooms for Combs’ alleged freak-offs.

He recalled stocking the rooms with candles, Astroglide lubricant, baby oil and clothing.

Kaplan said he would often clean up after the alleged sex marathons in order to protect Combs’ public image.

“It was implied, protect his public image. I was keen on doing that,” Kaplan testified.

“I found hotels would sell photos to newspapers to shame guests.”

Combs’ attorneys have insisted that while Combs might be guilty of domestic violence against Cassie, he’s not guilty of any of the charges against him, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The music executive has pleaded not guilty to all charges as prosecutors continue to paint him as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise.

He has denied all allegations against him and insists he’s only engaged in consensual sex.
