New York — 50 Cent has not shied away from expressing his views on social media during Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial, recently commenting on the testimony of fellow rapper Kid Cudi. Cudi alleged that Combs vandalized his Porsche 911 convertible with a Molotov cocktail in 2012, an accusation that has gained renewed attention in the courtroom.
On Thursday, during the trial, Cudi—whose real name is Scott Mescudi—testified about a disturbing incident that he claims involved Combs breaking into his home. Cudi recounted that while he was with actress Cassie Ventura, he received a call indicating that Combs and an associate were at his residence. In a moment of confrontation, he called Combs to ask if he was indeed at his home, to which Combs reportedly replied, “I am here waiting for you.”
Cudi returned home to find signs of a disturbance: Christmas gifts meant for his family had been opened, and his dog was locked in the bathroom. Disturbed by the situation, he attempted to contact Combs again, prompting an uncertain response from the Bad Boy Records founder. Ultimately, Cudi decided to call the police for assistance.
In a twist to the ongoing drama, 50 Cent took to Instagram to share images of the charred remains of Cudi’s vehicle, humorously mocking Combs by referring to him as “Molotov Diddy.” His commentary underscores the longstanding feud between the two hip-hop figures, bringing additional public attention to the case.
The trial has also witnessed testimony from Ventura, who described Combs as threatening towards both her and Cudi during their turbulent relationships. She recounted instances where Combs expressed jealousy, which included alarming threats about damaging Cudi’s car. Ventura claimed Combs suggested he would orchestrate the attack while ensuring he would not be in the vicinity when it happened.
Combs is currently facing serious allegations, including sex trafficking and conspiracy racketeering, among other charges. He has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all accusations leveled against him. His legal team has characterized the allegations as unfounded, insisting that he is a victim of false claims arising from complicated personal relationships.
As testimonies continue to unfold, the courtroom drama not only examines the serious legal implications for Combs but also unveils the underlying tensions that have marked his interactions with notable figures in the music industry.
