The musician and actor Kid Cudi took the position on Thursday in Sean “Diddy” combs sex trafficking and spletering trial to testify that the rap magnate, in an attack of anger and jealousy, broke in his home and believed that he coordinated the bombing of his high -end sports car.

The testimony in the trial full of stars could play a fundamental role as prosecutors try to build a case that combs used violence and threats to direct a criminal company that used to damage their rivals and protect entertainment and the cultural kingdom he had built.

Kid Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, told the jury that he briefly came out of Star Witness and the ex -girlfriend of Combins Cassie Ventura in 2011. The romance was canceled, according to his testimony, due to combs’s threats, but Mescudi said he suspected that the combs coordinated sincerely the sign of their car from their car Combs to the rival.

“I knew they were combs,” Mescudi said, adding that Ventura confided that ComBs “hit her, sometimes would kick her.”

The combs lawyers have denied having had some participation in the alleged bombardment of fire, and Mescudi testified that Comps said he was not aware of the incident when they met in 2012 to solve their differences. Mescudi caused some laughs in the court room when he described how he met Com Coms in an exclusive club in Los Angeles, finding the rap tycoon “looking out the window with his hands behind the back as a Marvel supervillain.”

Prosecutors have alleged that ComBs committed multiple crimes, including the fire caused, to orchestrate an expanding criminal conspiracy. Combs has denied the charges against him and declared himself innocent. The trial ended his third week on Thursday, when the judge released the jury for a weekend recess of Memorial Day extended.

Mescudi’s relationship with Ventura was brief, but was marked by violent threats of the combs that took him to him to stop seeing, according to Mescudi.

After starting a romance with the singer and model that was involved with combs from time to time, Mescudi said he received an abrupt phone call from Ventura to warn that Comink had learned that they were being seen.

“I was confused, but she asked me to pick it up. It rang really stressed by phone, scared, nervous. So I went to pick her up,” Mescudi testified, saying that he soon received a call from the combs assistant informing him that ComBs had entered his house.

“I said: ‘m —-, are you in my house?’ And he said: ‘What’s wrong?’ “Are you in my house?

Mescudi said he quickly led to his house but that he did not find Peines, although there were traces of his visit. He said that the Christmas gifts he bought for his family had been open and his dog was locked in the bathroom.

Mescudi said he and Ventura finally separated because “things were getting out of control” and felt worried about their safety.

During his testimony last week, Ventura said that combs threatened to hurt her and Mescudi if her relationship continued and promised to fly the rival rapper car. Mescudi testified that he suspected that the combs continued with the threat in early 2012, telling the jurors that someone had cut the soft upper part of their Porsche and placed a Molotov cocktail on inside. The results of that episode were shown to jurors when prosecutors showed several photos of the carbonized vehicle.

Mescudi said he gathered to talk with Combs about the incident a few days later in Soho House Los Angeles. His goal was to reconcile, but combs said he did not know about the fire pump.

“We stood up, we set our hands and while I was shaking, I said ‘What are we going to do with my car?'” Mescudi said. “He looked at me directly, a very cold look, and said ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ ‘

Years later, Mescudi said he ran into combs once again in Soho House, where Comps said he wanted to “apologize for everything.”

The combs assistant says he resigned after witnessing abuse

The trial began on Thursday with a return to the witness post of the combs personal assistant, George Kaplan. Tyling under an immunity agreement so that it cannot be prosecuted for whatever it admits, Kaplan said he left after 15 months because he could no longer continue “solving problems to the combs after the repeated acts of violence of the tycoon.

Kaplan testified that he saw that the combs became violent on three occasions, including an episode in which he was summoned to the combs room just to find Ventura crying and bruised in bed. He also reported to see Comps holding a glass of whiskey on Ventura’s head during a flight to Las Vegas and another instance in 2015 when a “very angry” hairstyle threw apples to another of his girlfriends.

“I was not comfortable to be aligned with the physical behavior I had seen during the course of the months,” Kaplan said, explaining his decision to leave the combs staff.

Because working for combs was his first professional work, Kaplan said he did not feel he could intervene, worried about being able to fly what he thought could be his door to the entertainment industry.

“In my heart, I knew what was happening and I felt an element of guilt that I did nothing to stop it,” he told the jurors.

Fourth witness says that she witnesses Ventura suitcases

The prosecutors called the makeup artist Mylah Morales to testify about a 2010 incident when combs allegedly assaulted Ventura in his hotel suite. According to Morales, Comps broke into the room they rent at the Beverly Hills hotel after one night.

“Where the f- is she?” Combs allegedly shouted before entering the bedroom where Ventura was and closed the door, according to Morales’s testimony.

Morales said he heard “screams and screams” before Comong left the hotel room. She said Ventura had a swollen eye, broken lip and “knots in the head” after the incident.

According to Morales, Ventura stayed with her for a few days to recover after the incident. Morales testified that a friend who was a doctor reviewed Ventura to see if he had a brain shock and suggested that he visit an emergency room, according to his testimony, but Ventura allegedly said it was “his desire not to go to the emergency room.”

In the interrogation, combs’ lawyers stressed that Morales did not witness directly from the alleged assault because he was out of the bedroom.

Morales’s testimony marks the fourth witness to tell the jury that they saw combs committing acts of violence against women. Previously, witnesses Dawn Richard and Kerry Morgan alleged that witnesses of Comuns Abuse Ventura, and Kaplan testified that he said that he saw that the combs were violent with Ventura and another woman.

Prosecutors move through their witness list

Federal prosecutors called two additional witnesses on Thursday afternoon, including a federal agent who conducted an analysis of electronic devices belonging to Ventura and the manager of a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills.

The general manager of L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, Frederick Zemmour, said that combs frequently stayed at the hotel, and his guest profile pointed out some features that other witnesses said they were characteristics of the sexual parties fed with drugs called “Freak offs” that the combs would receive.

“Always spill candles wax in everything and use excessive amounts of oil, place rooms out of service when leaving a deep cleaning,” said Zemmour, citing notes that the hotel kept the combs.

When Ventura testified last week, he said that combs often reserved rooms at L’Emitage Beverly Hills to organize “Freak offs.” She reported an instance when combs allegedly requested that she get into an explosion pool that was full of “lubricant and oil.”

“Did you want to enter a pool of baby oil?” The Emily Johnson prosecutor asked.

“No, especially not in a hotel room like that. It was a disaster,” Ventura said on the stage.
