Rapper Kid Cudi testified that Sean "Diddy" Combs broke into his Hollywood Hills home in 2011 after finding out he was dating Combs' ex-girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, and that someone set fire to his car weeks later.

Combs has pleaded not guilty. Prior to Combs’ criminal case, Mescudi was included in a civil lawsuit filed in 2023 against Combs by his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Mescudi and Ventura had a brief relationship in 2011, when she and Combs were in a “rough patch” in their relationship, according to her lawsuit.
