Kid Cudi is expected to testify in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial about his brief relationship with Cassie Ventura and threats Combs allegedly made to blow up his car.
NEW YORK (AP) — A former personal assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs gave a glimpse into the hip-hop promoter’s world when he worked for him nearly two decades ago, testifying at the hip-hop promotor’s sex trafficking trial about his former boss’ use of guns, lie detector tests and drugs.
Regina Venture told a Manhattan federal jury Tuesday she took out a home-equity loan to pay off the rapper after he threatened to release sex tapes of her daughter.
Regina Ventura, the mother of Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura Fine, told the court on May 20 she was "physically sick" over the rapper's alleged abuse and said she was once pressured to send him $20,000 after he raged at her daughter. "I was scared for my daughter’s safety," Ventura told jurors.
