Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi Testifies 

Testimony Highlights

Musician and Actor Scott Mescudi, known as Kid Cudi, testified about his 2011 relationship with singer Cassie, revealing chilling encounters involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Cudi told jurors that Cassie had assured him she was no longer involved with Combs. But one early morning, Cassie called him sounding panicked. She said Combs found out about their relationship, had asked for Cudi’s address, and she feared he might show up.

To protect her, Cudi took Cassie to the Sunset Marquis Hotel. While there, he learned Combs had entered his home. “When I got back, no one was there,” he said. “All the Christmas gifts were opened, and my dog was locked in the bathroom.” He was asked how his dog’s behavior was after the break-in? He said “his dog was very jittery and kind of on edge all the time.” 

Later, Cudi’s Porsche was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail. Authorities confirmed it was arson. “I didn’t have problems with anyone but Sean Combs,” Cudi stated. After the attack, his manager arranged a meeting between Cudi and Combs.

Cudi alleges, “When I got there Sean Combs was standing there staring out the window with his hands behind his back like a Marvel supervillain.” Cudi recalled, “He offered me water twice. I declined. I wasn’t comfortable.”

Cudi said he was disappointed when Cassie appeared at the meeting, clearly back with Combs. Years later, Combs approached him while with his daughter and apologized for the past.

Mr. Zemmour is at court because he was subpoenaed. Their hotel reservation system, Opera, keeps guests personal information after they enter it, forever.  The profile was created in 2006, the name was changed to Jackie Star in 2009. 

Later names were Frank Black, Frank White, others, and last name change was Ryan Lopez. The room would have to be put out of service for deep cleaning after all of his stays. Authorized $1000 extra for room damages.
