Kid Cudi Testifies at Diddy Trial: “He Broke Into My Home, Killed my Dog, Unwrapped Christmas Gifts, and Fire Bombed My Car”

In a stunning moment during the ongoing trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, rapper and artist Kid Cudi took the witness stand to deliver explosive testimony alleging that the hip-hop mogul once broke into his home during the holiday season, vandalized his property, and tampered with personal belongings — including unwrapping his family’s Christmas presents.
A Chilling Holiday Incident
Testifying under oath, Cudi (born Scott Mescudi) recounted the bizarre and deeply unsettling experience. According to his testimony, the incident took place several years ago at his Los Angeles residence. Cudi claimed that Diddy, uninvited and unannounced, entered his home while he and his family were away during the holidays.
“He unwrapped every single Christmas gift under our tree,” Cudi told the court, visibly shaken. “It wasn’t just petty — it felt like a message, like an invasion. My daughter’s presents were ripped open. My personal gifts were scattered everywhere.”
The courtroom fell silent as Cudi continued, revealing that his family dog had been found locked inside a bathroom, barking and clearly distressed when they returned.
Allegations of Intimidation and Harassment
The testimony forms part of a larger narrative in the prosecution’s case against Combs, who faces multiple charges, including intimidation, racketeering, and other criminal allegations. Prosecutors are seeking to demonstrate a pattern of behavior that includes threats, harassment, and retaliation against industry peers, collaborators, and rivals.
“This wasn’t just about breaking and entering,” one prosecutor stated. “It was psychological warfare — designed to humiliate and assert control.”
Cudi’s relationship with Diddy had reportedly soured years earlier over creative and personal disagreements, but the depth of animosity suggested by this incident took many in the courtroom by surprise.
Diddy’s Defense Fires Back
Combs’ legal team dismissed the account as “unsubstantiated, sensationalized, and strategically timed,” accusing Cudi of seeking attention and revenge. Lead defense attorney Marcus Hill stated, “This is a coordinated smear campaign against a successful Black entrepreneur. There is no evidence Mr. Combs ever set foot in that home.”
However, prosecutors indicated they have supporting evidence, including home security records and witness testimony that may corroborate Cudi’s version of events.
Industry Shockwaves
Cudi’s testimony is sending shockwaves through the music industry, where Diddy has long held influence. Several artists and former collaborators have taken to social media expressing support for Cudi while also sharing their own unsettling stories about working with the Bad Boy Records founder.
The revelations add to a mounting pile of legal and public relations troubles for Combs, whose image as a music mogul and business tycoon is rapidly unraveling under the weight of damning testimony and ongoing investigations.
What’s Next
As the trial continues, more high-profile witnesses are expected to take the stand in the coming days. The case has morphed from a focused criminal investigation into what many are calling a landmark reckoning for abuse of power in the entertainment world.
