NEW YORK CITY, NY – As the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial continues, one of his former employees testified that the hip-hop star kidnapped her at gunpoint, then broke into rapper Kid Cudi’s home in a plot to kill him.
According to BBC, the woman, Capricorn Clark, who worked on-and-off for Diddy for more than a decade, told jurors during the trial that the defendant and a security guard had shown up at her apartment in 2011 and forced her to drive with them to Kid Cudi’s home. She recalled Diddy saying: “Get dressed. We’re going to kill this [expletive].”
In her testimony, Clark, who was the global brand director for Diddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment, said that the hip-hop star had arrived at her home after he discovered Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, was in a relationship with Kid Cudi. She said that Diddy was holding a gun in his hand when he arrived and appeared “livid” and told her “we’re going to kill” Kid Cudi.
She told the court he forced her to get into a car and go with them against her will. Under cross examination by Diddy’s lawyer, Clark denied that she went with him voluntarily. Once they arrived at Cudi’s home, Diddy and a security guard went inside while she called Ventura from the car and told her what was happening.
When Diddy returned back to the car and caught her on the phone with Ventura, he became angrier. She said they sped off as Cudi arrived back at his home. Afterwards, the court heard that the defendant told Clark he would not let her go until she and Ventura persuaded Cudi that Diddy was not involved in the break-ins at his Los Angeles home. She testified that Diddy said, “If you don’t convince him of that, I’ll kill all you.”
Live5News said that after that, she watched in shock as Diddy viciously assaulted Ventura, who also goes by the name “Cassie,” over her relationship with Cudi. Clark said that Diddy kicked Ventura with “100 percent full force” to the legs and back as she curled on the ground outside his home in a fetal position and wept silently. Clark said her “heart was breaking from seeing her get hit like that” and that neither she nor Diddy’s bodyguard intervened.
She also told the court that Diddy had threatened to kill her on her very first day working for him. The Kid Cudi incident was first discussed in the trial a week earlier when that rapper, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, took the stand to testify against Diddy. He detailed his relationship with Ventura, an alleged break-in at his Los Angeles home, and an incident in which his Porsche was damaged by a Molotov cocktail, which he believes Diddy orchestrated.
