Diddy’s Lawyers Ask To Exclude Shocking Moment From Kid Cudi’s Testimony

Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs want the judge to toss out Kid Cudi's story that the mogul tried to blow up his car over a decade ago because there's no hard evidence to prove he did it.

According to a report TMZ published Monday, May 26, Combs' lawyers asked Judge Arun Subramanian to strike the portion of Cudi's testimony in which he accused the incarcerated artist of setting his car ablaze. The artist's legal team argued Cudi's recollection of the incident is merely his opinion, with no proof to support his claims. Combs' lawyers argued that it shouldn't be allowed in court since there's no concrete evidence linking him to the crime.

During his testimony, Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, told the court that Combs targeted him after finding out about his relationship with Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura. He accused Combs of breaking into his home, tearing up gifts and locking his dog in a bathroom. Afterward, he described the day when his dog sitter called and told him that his Porsche had burst into flames. He testified that someone cut a hole in his roof and threw a Molotov cocktail inside.

Cudi pointed the finger at Combs and said he believed he had something to do with the incident. The Cleveland native told the court that Combs denied his involvement when he asked about it. He even claimed Combs apologized for the incident years later. However, he also admitted no actual evidence connected Combs to the fire, and no witnesses were identified.

Combs' attorneys argue Cudi's story about the firebombing has nothing to do with the case and want it removed from the record. As of this report, Judge Subramanian hasn't ruled on Cudi's testimony. The third week of the trial is expected to begin this morning with testimony from Combs' former assistant, Capricorn Clark.
