Kid Cudi Testifies: Diddy Broke Into His Home, Opened Family Christmas Presents

The ongoing sex-trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs took a dramatic turn yesterday (Thursday, May 22), as rapper Kid Cudi testified that Diddy once broke into his Hollywood Hills home and unwrapped his family’s Christmas gifts.

Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, appeared in court during the trial’s second week of testimony. He recounted a 2011 incident, which he claims happened after Diddy discovered he was dating Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

According to Mescudi, he had planned to surprise his family with Christmas presents from Chanel. But those gifts were found opened and unwrapped after the alleged break-in. He also testified that his dog was shut inside the bathroom during the incident.

Mescudi said he learned about the break-in as it was happening. That night, he was with Ventura at the Sunset Marquis hotel when he received a call from Capricorn Clark, one of Combs’ trusted assistants. Clark allegedly told him she was outside his house while Combs was inside, adding that Diddy had “physically forced her” to drive him there.

“I called and said, ‘Motherf*****, you in my house?’” Mescudi recalled, describing how he rushed to his home. He claims Diddy, on the phone, told him he “wanted to talk,” and that he was “waiting” for Mescudi to arrive. Mescudi said he wanted to confront Diddy and “fight him,” but hesitated, fearing Diddy might not be alone.

By the time Mescudi reached his house, Diddy had already left. Inside, he found the Chanel gifts for his family had been opened, and his dog was left “very jittery” in the bathroom.

During the proceedings, the defense objected when prosecutors began to question Mescudi about his dog’s long-term behavioral changes, such as urinating on the floor. Defense lawyer Brian Steel argued that such testimony might sway “dog lovers” on the jury. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian agreed and ruled out any discussion of the animal’s lasting trauma.

As the trial continues, these personal accounts are painting an increasingly detailed — and disturbing — picture of the alleged behavior at the center of the case against Combs.
