Kid Cudi Testifies in Diddy Trial, Recounts Molotov Cocktail Attack on His Home

New York, USA – In a dramatic development in the ongoing federal case against music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs, rapper Kid Cudi took the witness stand this week, claiming his home was the target of a Molotov cocktail attack—an act he suggested was linked to ongoing tensions between the two artists.

The Grammy-nominated rapper, born Scott Mescudi, told the court that he believes the attack was intended as a warning or act of intimidation, though he stopped short of directly accusing Combs of orchestrating the incident.

“It was terrifying. I didn’t know what to make of it,” Cudi testified. “But I knew things had gotten serious.”

Timeline of Allegations

The Molotov cocktail incident, which allegedly occurred in 2022, had not been made public until now. Cudi said he chose not to report the attack to the media at the time out of fear and uncertainty.

Federal prosecutors are reportedly investigating a pattern of intimidation, coercion, and witness silencing tactics surrounding Diddy and his associates as part of a broader probe into alleged sexual misconduct, financial crimes, and abuse of power in the entertainment industry.

Legal Pressure Mounts on Diddy

The testimony adds to the mounting pressure on Diddy, who has faced a series of lawsuits and investigations in recent months. While no formal charges have yet been filed in connection to Cudi’s testimony, the incident is being examined as part of the federal case.

Diddy’s legal team issued a brief statement after the hearing, calling Cudi’s claims “baseless and inflammatory,” adding that the rapper was “exploiting the trial for personal gain or attention.

Music Industry Reacts

Reaction within the music industry has been swift and divided. While some artists have voiced support for Cudi and called for accountability, others have questioned the timing and motives behind the revelations.

“If true, this takes everything to another level,” tweeted journalist Toure. “Molotov cocktails? This isn’t just celebrity drama anymore—this is criminal and dangerous.”

What’s Next?

As the trial continues, more high-profile witnesses are expected to testify. Prosecutors are building a case that could have significant implications for the music industry’s culture of silence and protection of powerful figures.

The Department of Justice has not confirmed whether criminal charges related to the alleged Molotov incident will be filed.
