Kid Cudi to Testify in Sean 'Diddy' Combs Trial
Yara Sameh
Federal prosecutors have called rapper and actor Kid Cudi is set to testify in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex-trafficking and racketeering trial in New York this week.
Prosecutor Maurene Comey announced Tuesday that the rapper, who had a brief romantic relationship over a decade ago with Combs' ex- partner Cassie Ventura, is expected to take the stand on Wednesday or Thursday.
Ventura testified last week at the trial that Combs learned she was dating Kid Cudi while going through her phone messages at one of the 'freak-off' events the couple would have at various hotels.
Combs, Ventura said in her testimony, threatened to blow up Cudi's car in early 2012.
She also testified that Combs threatened to release two explicit tapes featuring her and that the rap mogul would send an individual to harm both of them.
After Ventura first filed her 2023 civil lawsuit, which also included the allegations about Cudi's car, a rep for the rapper confirmed that a vehicle of his had exploded, but provided no more details.
'This is all true,' the rep told the outlet.
Cudi will testify after George Kaplan, a former employee who Ventura testified had quit after witnessing Combs' abuse.
'I feared for my career. I feared for my family. It's just embarrassing, all of it,' Ventura said while testifying last week. 'It could ruin everything I worked for.'

Suspect in Custody after 6 People Burned in Colorado
Taarek Refaat FBI Director Kash Patel announced Sunday that the bureau had received information about a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, and was conducting a comprehensive investigation. Patel did not provide further details, but said in a social media post, "Our agents and law enforcement are already on the scene and will share updates as soon as more information becomes available." CBS News quoted witnesses at the scene as saying that a person attacked a group of people with Molotov cocktails during a solidarity march for Israeli prisoners held in Gaza at Boulder's Pearl Street Mall in Colorado. The Boulder Police Department said it was responding to a report of an attack in the city that included multiple victims. It did not provide any further details. The attack comes weeks after a Chicago-born man was arrested in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.

Arab League Chief Visits Jordan Amid Gaza War
Nada Mustafa Secretary-General of Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, arrived in Jordan on Sunday as part of a delegation from the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee tasked with following up on developments in the war in Gaza. Jamal Rushdi, official spokesperson for Secretary-General, stated that the delegation is expected to meet with His Majesty King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
