Kid Cudi Has This To Say to Fans After Speaking at Diddy Trial
Kid Cudi is speaking out after playing his part in Sean 'Diddy' Combs federal sex trafficking trial. And trust us when we say, it's something we all needed to hear.
As we previously told you, on Thursday, the 'Entergalactic' rapper took the stand where he divulged some of the alleged wrongdoing done to him by Diddy. Chief among it was his corroborating account that the Bad Boy mogul allegedly blew up his car after finding out he was romantically involved with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Cudi also alleged that Diddy broke into his home a month prior to the incident, opened gifts, and locked his dog in the bathroom because he wanted to get specifics on him and Ventura's relationship dynamics. He also described him as a 'Marvel supervillain.'
In the immediate aftermath of him sharing his testimony, Cudi was met with mixed reactions on social media. Some people felt as if he shouldn't have said anything and 'should've kept it hip-hop' and 'not snitched.' Others, however, applauded him for his bravery (mind you, he wasn't the one who brought it up in the first place and only confirmed it happened after he was subpoenaed) and offered positive words.
Now, after seeing all the love online, Cudi decided to address all the chatter later on Thursday after finishing his testimony. Speaking in a video message posted on his official X/Twitter page, the 'Day 'n' Nite' rapper said that while the situation has been stressful for him, he was deeply appreciative for the love and support he was being shown.
'I just wanna say thank you so much man. People have been hitting me up the past week just checking in. Even today, it really means a lot to me. You guys are the best, I love y'all. This was a stressful situation, I'm glad it's behind me. And yeah, I love y'all man. Big love,' he said.
As to be expected, fans flooded his comments section with more admiration and gratitude.
'I know how hard it is to hold someone accountable in a public space. You did the right thing for yourself and others today. Hope this helps you heal,' wrote one user.
'You know we got your back big bro,' said another.
Added one other user, 'Sending love man, sorry you had to experience all of that sh*t.'

Death toll from quarry collapse in Indonesia rises to 14
CIREBON, Indonesia (AP) — At least 14 people were killed after a quarry collapsed the previous day in Indonesia's West Java province, officials said Saturday. More than two dozen people were trapped in the rubble when the Gunung Kuda quarry in Cirebon district collapsed on Friday . Rescuers pulled a dozen injured people and 10 bodies from the debris during a grueling search effort. They retrieved three more bodies late Friday, and another worker died in hospital, bringing the death toll to 14, said the National Search and Rescue Agency in a statement. Five people have been hospitalized with serious injuries. Local television reports showed emergency personnel, along with police, soldiers and volunteers digging desperately in the quarry in a steep limestone cliff, supported by five excavators, early Saturday. Authorities said six to eight people are still believed to be trapped. The cause of the collapse is still under investigation, and police have been questioning six people including the owner of the quarry, said local police chief Sumarni. West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi said in a video statement on Instagram that he visited the quarry before he was elected in February and considered it dangerous. 'It did not meet the safety standard elements for its workers,' Mulyadi said, adding that at that time, 'I didn't have any capacity to stop it.' On Friday, Mulyadi said that he had ordered the quarry shut, as well as four other similar sites in West Java. Illegal or informal resource extraction operations are common in Indonesia, providing a tenuous livelihood to those who labor in conditions with a high risk of injury or death. Landslides, flooding and tunnel collapses are just some of the hazards associated with them. Much of the processing of sand, rocks or gold ore also involves the use of highly toxic mercury and cyanide by workers using little or no protection. Last year, a landslide triggered by torrential rains struck an unauthorized gold mining operation on Indonesia's Sumatra island, killing at least 15 people. ___ Associated Press writer Niniek Karmini in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributed to this report.

Mexican band Grupo Firme cancels US show, saying their visas were suspended by Trump administration
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The popular Mexican regional music band Grupo Firme announced on Friday that it was canceling a performance in a music festival in California over the weekend after the United States government suspended the musicians' visas. It comes after the U.S. State Department has revoked visas of a number of Mexican musicians for playing a genre of music that it says glorifies cartel violence. The group, which has soared to international fame playing Mexican regional music, said in a statement posted on its Instagram account that the visas of them and their team are currently under 'administrative review by the U.S. Embassy" and that it would make it 'impossible' for them to perform in the La Onda Fest to be held in the city of Napa Valley, California on June 1. But the post didn't detail what it would mean in the long term for the musical group. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico said that visa cases are confidential according to U.S. law and couldn't provide more information on the case. The suspension is just the latest in a series of moves the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has taken targeting Mexican artists in the genre, who in some cases have glorified the leaders of cartels as sort of Robin Hood figures. While the genre of 'narco-corridos' has stirred controversy, much of the music also speaks to the harsh realities facing Mexican youth caught in cartel violence. Two months ago, the Mexican musical group Los Alegres del Barranco was sanctioned after it projected images of the leader of the feared Jalisco New Generation Cartel at a concert in the western state of Jalisco. 'I'm a firm believer in freedom of expression, but that doesn't mean that expression should be free of consequences,' U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said at the time. 'The last thing we need is a welcome mat for people who extol criminals and terrorists.'
