Diddy Allegedly Aimed To “Kill” Kid Cudi Per New Trial Testimony
More information about the animosity directed at Kid Cudi by Diddy was revealed during his racketeering trial on Tuesday (May 27), during testimony by the mogul’s former assistant. Capricorn Clark was on the witness stand, stating that on the morning of Dec. 22, 2011, she went to the door of her apartment in Los Angeles, California, after hearing someone banging on it loudly. Clark opened it to find Diddy there, agitated and holding a gun. “Why didn’t you tell me? Who is Scott?” she claimed he said to her before ordering her to get dressed. “We’re going to kill this n****,” she testified he said.
Kid Cudi, aka Scott Mescudi, had been dating Diddy’s ex-partner Cassie Ventura after their split. Clark testified that she knew of the relationship but didn’t tell Diddy. She went on to say that she, Diddy (who had the gun in his lap and sat in the backseat next to her) and a bodyguard named Ruben drove 20 minutes to Kid Cudi’s house. Upon arriving, Diddy and Ruben forced their way into Cudi’s home, allowing her to call Cassie on a burner phone before Diddy interrupted trying to seize the phone. At that moment, Kid Cudi drove up, with the police following close behind. Diddy, Clark and the bodyguard left, with Diddy telling Clark to tell Kid Cudi not to say anything to the police. Clark wept repeatedly during her testimony, sharing that she sent Kid Cudi a message saying, “If you tell on him, he’ll hurt us all.”
Clark also testified that Diddy threatened her at least 50 times and that he fired her over allegedly “improperly taken vacation.” That termination left her without retirement and health benefits, as well as her car. She detailed that at one point, Diddy aka Sean Combs had locked her in a run-down building in midtown Manhattan and subjected her to several lie-detector tests over five days after the disappearance of three pieces of high-end jewelry entrusted to her. She testified that if she failed, she would be “thrown into the East River” by his crew.
The testimony was challenged by Diddy’s lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, who went after inconsistencies in Clark’s testimony and asked her why she kept going back to work for Diddy repeatedly if she had endured such treatment. Clark testified that it was because she was unable to find other employment in the industry.
