“Did Diddy try to kill Kid Cudi?”   In 2012, only a few gossip pages were wondering this question with the vast majority of readers wondering - “who even comes up with these crazy rumors?”   Now, in 2025, it might not just be a rumor.   Kid Cudi takes the witness stand to testify against Sean Combs. The man who allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s house, lit his car on fire, and according to a former assistant - the man who wanted Kid Cudi dead.   This is Kid Cudi’s full testimony in the USA v. Sean Combs case and the reactions of celebrities turning on him after his story.

Two full days after the start of the “Diddy Trial” - a new lawsuit is filed. A woman is accusing Sean Combs of SA and states that she recalls his private part being an “itty bitty Diddy.”    She includes a photo of a teeny tiny tootsie roll for reference.    This is just one of the many civil lawsuits filed against Sean Combs. Many of the people that have sued him are also showing up to the trial to testify against him. Which begs the question, how many more witnesses will be coming to get justice?   Dawn Richards, a former band mate of Sean Combs, shows up in court seemingly ready to take him down. To finally tell her story.   She says she watched him attack Cassie with a skillet. That the next morning he threatened her and everyone around them to stay silent. Or else…   But once the cross examination by Diddy’s attorneys begin - it feels like her entire story starts unraveling. Or is that just what Diddy’s attorneys want us to think? This is the truth behind her brutal testimony.        Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com [http://rottenmangopodcast.com]

This is the first time they have seen each other since their break up in 2018. Over 6 years.    And now they’re going to be on opposite sides of the courtroom - she’s going to be up on the stand testifying against him.    Detailing all the things she didn’t want to do. The urination. The inflatable pool in the middle of a hotel room filled to the brim with baby oil. The seedy green “adult activity” club in Las Vegas. Even breaking up with Kid Cudi.    And he will sit there and listen for 2 days straight while she tells the jurors about the injuries he gave her. How he stomped on her face and blackmailed her with explicit videos.    All their private messages, photos, and emails will be shown to the court. This is the testimony of Cassie Ventura against Sean Diddy Combs and the reactions of her, her husband, and Sean Combs in the courtroom.

The energy in the courtroom has shifted. Sean Combs no longer looks like a statuesque wax figurine. He is now much more animated, literally jumping out of his seat to look at the evidence screen, there is almost an air of anticipation.    But why? For the past 2 days Cassie Ventura, a government witness and victim in this case, has been testifying against Sean Combs. Now, the defense will begin their cross examination.    Sean Combs’s attorneys will attempt to poke holes in Cassie’s story, discredit her, and show the jurors that she “wanted freak offs.”   Everyone seems to be under the impression that the defense has very slim evidence to accomplish this. Then why is Sean Combs so happy? Do they know something we do not?
