Rapper Kid Cudi To Testify At Sean ‘Diddy' Comb's Hearing, Details Here
In her lawsuit, Cassie Ventura claimed that Sean Diddy Combs wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car out of anger.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Kid Cudi are all set to come face-to-face, not for a musical battle but the ongoing legal trial against the Bad Boy Records founder. Kid Cudi, who will be giving a testimony in the ongoing sex trafficking case against Diddy, is expected to take the stand in the lower Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.
The update came after the Wednesday hearing when the jury informed the judges and the defence team about the Man on the Moon rap star's absence in the court, with the feds unveiling that Cudi would be in the witness box on Thursday. Kid Cudi's appearance comes days after his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, during her week-long testimony delved into the details of their brief romantic relationship. She also touched upon the allegations about Combs blowing up Cudi's car in the past.
It is yet to be seen how Kid Cudi's testimony sheds more light on the investigation in connection with Ventura's claims and charges against Diddy's involvement in racketeering and sex trafficking.
Cassie Ventura's Lawsuit – Diddy And Kid Cudi
During her testimony, Ventura revealed that Sean 'Diddy' Combs wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car, forcing her to break up with the Happy Gilmore 2 star. She also testified to meeting with Diddy and Cudi in Los Angeles to discuss the end of their relationship. Ventura's lawsuit came with more shocking details, revealing how Diddy discovered her relationship with Cudi during a freak-off, prompting him to lunge at her with a corkscrew, as per Forbes.
While Ventura managed to escape and flee to Cudi's home, she was threatened by Diddy's staff to come back. She was later subjected to physical assault upon attempting to run out of the house. It was during the Paris Fashion Week in February 2012 when Diddy admitted that he wanted to blow up Kid Cudi's car. The explosion did happen, leaving Ventura 'terrified and in disbelief."
Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, won two Grammy Awards for his collaborative songs with Kanye West and Rihanna. His Man on the Moon album trilogy was also a big hit. Cudi has also appeared in several films, including Crisis and X.
Sean Diddy Combs is currently charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution amid a number of other lawsuits. The trial began on May 5.

Taylor Swift Shuts Down Rumours About Her ‘Bear' Cameo In Happy Gilmore 2
Last Updated: Taylor Swift officially shut down the rumours that she had a cameo as a bear in Happy Gilmore 2. Taylor Swift has finally put an end to a fan theory that has been circulating online. Among Swifty fans, there has been an ongoing buzz that the pop sensation secretly played the role of a bear in Happy Gilmore 2. Now, the 35-year-old superstar herself addressed and dismissed the speculation during her appearance on New Heights, the podcast hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, on August 13. Taylor Swift Dispelled the Happy Gilmore 2 Rumours When asked directly about the viral rumour, Jason Kelce quizzed her to 'confirm or deny" the speculation. To this, Swift immediately responded, 'I can deny!" She then revealed that the theory has now turned into a running joke between her and Travis. Sharing their private banter, Swift said, 'This is one of those ones where, like, we'll send it to each other and be like, 'Hey, did you hear I was the bear in there?' And he's like, 'Yeah, did you hear we bought a house in Lake Como?' At this point, we're just like, of course they think I'm inside of a bear costume." The Daylight hitmaker also admitted that the rumour, while completely false, still feels flattering to her because of her love for the Adam Sandler starrer. 'I'm honored to be thought of in that context because I loved that movie so much. I watched it multiple times. I loved it so much. Whoever did the bear acting was exquisite," she added with a laugh. Travis Kelce's Cameo and the Infamous Bear Scene The sequel to the 1996 cult classic Happy Gilmore released on July 25 and brought back Adam Sandler along with Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller and Christopher McDonald. Directed by Kyle Newacheck, Happy Gilmore 2 is filled with several celebrity cameos including Margaret Qualley, Bad Bunny and even Travis Kelce. In the film, Travis appears in the role of a waiter. The now-talked-about bear scene appears in a dream sequence where Travis' character is tied to a metal post. Oscar, Happy's caddy played by Bad Bunny, slathers him in honey before a bear is released to devour him. It was this very scene that gave birth to the theory among fans that Taylor Swift might have been the one inside the bear costume. Swift's Reaction to the Film Despite laughing off the speculation, Swift could not stop praising the film. Taking to Instagram shortly after its release, she posted the official poster of Happy Gilmore 2 and wrote, 'Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie. An absolute must-watch. 13/10, go watch it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible." Taylor Swift Announces New Album Beyond shutting down rumours, Swift also used her podcast appearance to share a major update with her fans. She announced her 12th studio album, titled The Life of a Showgirl. The album will feature 12 tracks and is slated to release on October 3.

Kim Taehyung of BTS announces baseball debut with the LA Dodgers; breaks MLB site as ARMY clamours for tickets
The BTS boys have always had a thing for sports. Whether it was Suga — or Agust D as fans know him — taking on his role as a global ambassador for the NBA, or the members popping up courtside just to soak in the fun of a match, ARMY has often seen them mixing music with athletics. But this time, things have taken a whole new turn. The Los Angeles Dodgers just announced that Kim Taehyung, better known as V, will be the guest of honour at their August 25 game against the Cincinnati Reds. Kim Taehyung is all ready to make his baseball debut with the LA Dodgers The team set the internet ablaze when they tweeted: 'ARMY, you ready? V will be at Dodger Stadium on 8/25 to throw out the ceremonial first pitch!' If that sounds familiar, it's because sports leagues are clearly catching on to the 'celebrity effect.' Just look back to when the Super Bowl turned into a cultural event for Swifties. According to a Variety report, 20% of 2024 Super Bowl viewers admitted they were rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs purely because of Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift. The poll by consumer research firm Numerator came right after the Chiefs sealed their 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers. It looks like the Dodgers seem to be aiming for that same magic, and judging by what happened next, they may have hit a home run before the game even started. Right after Major League Baseball shared the announcement, fans began reporting problems online. As one fan tweeted, 'Kim Taehyung will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on August 25th! The ticket website is currently down after the official announcement.' Naturally, ARMY was quick to react. One fan summed it up simply with: 'That's the power of the Kim Taehyung.' Another joked about the timing of their ticket hunt, writing: 'The website crashed the second it was announced, dodgers fans please don't be mad but yall had time to get tickets before us.' And of course, someone else couldn't resist spelling it out: 'LMAO ARMY CRASHED THE WEBSITE TO GET TICKETS TO BE THERE.' None of this is out of character for Taehyung, who seems to carry chaos and charm wherever he goes. This won't even be his first public appearance since enlisting; he's already made headlines at Paris Fashion Week as Celine's ambassador and stirred buzz with high-profile deals, including a controversial campaign with Coca-Cola and a new partnership as the face of Compose Coffee.
