Diddy's Former Assistant Corroborates Murder Plot Against Kid Cudi Over Relationship With Cassie

Diddy's Former Assistant Corroborates Murder Plot Against Kid Cudi Over Relationship With Cassie

Yahoo27-05-2025
Capricorn Clark, a former assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, testified on Tuesday that the armed rap mogul drove her to rival Kid Cudi's house in 2011 and told her, 'We're going to kill Cudi,' according to The Associated Press.
The 'Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare)' rapper, whose given name is Scott Mescudi, testified on Friday that Combs broke into his house and set his car on fire because Mescudi was dating Combs' longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Clark, who referred to Combs as 'Puff' (his given stage name at the time) during her testimony, confirmed Mescudi's statements.
She testified that Combs and his bodyguard entered Cudi's Los Angeles home while she was made to wait in the car and call Cassie. '[He] got me with a gun and brought me to Cudi's house to kill him,' Clark recalled telling Cassie.
She recalled hearing Mescudi in the background asking, 'He's in my house?' Clark added that she told Cassie, 'Stop him, he's going to get himself killed.'
Mescudi was not yet home, but when Combs heard his car drive up, they chased him, only giving up when they passed police cars that were heading for Mescudi's house.
Afterward, Combs allegedly told Clark and his bodyguard to convince Cudi that someone else has broken into his house. 'If you don't convince him of that I'll kill all you,' Clark said quoting Combs.
Clark and Cassie later went back to Cudi's house, where they tried to convince him not to file a police report about Combs. She said she and the bodyguard later saw Combs assault Cassie, kicking her legs with '100% full force' as she cried. Clark said her 'heart was breaking from seeing her get hit like that.'
Clark also said that Combs threatened to kill her on her first day working for him in 2004 if her past work for other rappers interfered with assisting him. He made more death threats when diamond jewelry he had entrusted her with went missing. Over five days, he subjected her to lie detector tests, telling her, ''If you fail this test they're going to throw you in the East River.'
She worked for Combs until 2018 and considered returning as late as 2023, a point Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo emphasized to suggest that she may have been exaggerating the things that transpired while she worked for the rapper.
Combs has continued to deny all accounts of sexual assault. The federal trial is next expected to delve into the scope of his alleged racketeering enterprise, as well as the pattern of abuse that several witnesses have already testified to witnessing.
Combs is facing life in prison.

Search for answers after Texas' deadly floods brings lawmakers to devastated Hill Country

KERRVILLE, Texas -- Texas lawmakers will take their search for answers following the deadly July 4 floods to the heart of the devastation in Kerr County, where local officials were expected to face questions over their response to the disaster that swept away homes and campers along the Guadalupe River. The hearing Thursday is the first time a panel of lawmakers is visiting the hard-hit Texas Hill Country since the floods, which killed at least 136 people. Most were in Kerr County, including 27 young campers and counselors at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp. Among those invited to testify were local leaders who have defended their preparations and response to the fast-rising waters. Residents will also be given the chance to address lawmakers. The hearing comes as authorities have begun publicly releasing records and audio — including 911 calls — that have provided new glimpses into the escalating danger and chaos in the early hours of the July Fourth holiday. They include panicked and confused messages from residents caught in trees as well as families fleeing with children from homes with water creeping up to the knees. 'People are dying,' one woman tells a 911 operator in call logs released by nearby Kendall County. She says she had a young relative at a church camp in Kerr County who was stranded along with his classmates because of the high waters. 'I don't want them to get stuck in a low-water crossing. And what are they going to do? They have like 30 kids," the woman says. Kerr County officials have denied several Texas Public of Information requests filed by The Associated Press for 911 calls and body-camera footage related to the floods. Lawmakers have had to address flood relief amid a busy 30-day legislative special session that has included a highly-partisan sprint by Republicans to redraw the state's maps to pick up five more seats in the U.S. House. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott added flood relief and disaster preparedness to the agenda items shortly after calling a special session in June. He also included redrawing the state's maps after receiving pressure from President Donald Trump, who has said he wants Texas Republicans to squeeze five additional seats. House Democrats have launched a series of protests that have involved fleeing the state to meet with Democratic governors to try and stop Republican redistricting. As the minority party in both chambers, the caucus has few options and lawmakers face up to $500 a day for walking out after they broke a quorum in 2021. Party leaders have said they will not engage in other legislative business until the legislature addresses flood relief. Lawmakers have filed bills to provide funding for early warning systems, improve emergency communications and strengthen flood infrastructure in flood-prone areas. Residents along the Guadalupe River have said they were caught off guard and had no warning when rainfall struck. Kerr County does not have a warning system along the river after several missed opportunities by state and local agencies to finance one. Abbott and Texas Republicans have signaled no appetite for assigning blame for the disaster or second-guessing decisions by local officials, who have described the scale of the disaster as one that no one could have saw coming. At the first hearing by Texas lawmakers this month, Texas' chief emergency management official called for better accreditation for county response officials. Democrats, meanwhile, have questioned if officials had done enough to provide sufficient infrastructure for flood-prone areas in rural counties.

Sophie Cunningham calls Caitlin Clark haters ‘dumb as f–k' for saying she's not the face of WNBA

Sophie Cunningham is already firing shots on her new podcast. Cunningham, speaking Wednesday on 'Show Me Something,' didn't mince words when discussing many fans' discrediting of her Indiana Fever co-star Caitlin Clark. 'It pisses me off when people are like, '[Clark's] not the face of the league,'' Cunningham said with a baffled look on her face. 'When people try to argue that she's not the face of our league or that our league would be where we're at without her — you're dumb as s–t, you're literally dumb as f–k.' 4 Sophie Cunningham takes issue with people discrediting Caitlin Clark as the face of the WNBA. "Show Me Something" podcast The 28-year-old's comments come in just the first episode of her new podcast, which she describes as 'unfiltered.' She surely backed that up by calling out Clark haters on day one — with no filter. Clark has, of course, taken the world by storm in the past several years, being credited by many for the meteoric rise of the WNBA and women's basketball. 4 Cunningham and Clark have made for a good duo for the Fever. NBAE via Getty Images Cunningham noted that there are other 'really good' and 'badass' players in the league, but she scoffed at the idea of not hailing Clark as the face of the league. Cunningham broke the internet in June for tossing Connecticut Sun guard Jacy Sheldon to the ground at the end of a tense game after Sheldon poked Clark in the eye earlier in the contest. 4 Sophie Cunningham fouls Jacy Sheldon during the Fever's June 17 game against the Sun. Screengrab via X/@HeavensFX Cunningham also spoke about this incident, noting how players around the league have gone overboard in trying to 'toughen up' Clark and 'show her what the [WNBA] really is.' 'It's too much, I'm over it,' she said. 'Why bully a person who has a huge role in growing your sport?' Cunningham's co-host, Bravo star West Wilson, asked. 4 Cunningham and Clark cheer on the Fever from the bench in June. AP Cunningham sees Clark's WNBA impact firsthand, and it appears she'll have no issue filling the world in on this in the new podcast that launched Wednesday through Colin Cowherd's media company, 'The Volume.' Cunningham will work on it with Wilson, a longtime friend from their hometown of Columbia, Missouri.
