Summary

Testimony today included rapper Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi, a former Diddy employee, and a hotel manager who said Diddy’s stays often ended in property damage.

Mescudi testified that he believes Sean “Diddy” Combs broke into his home and firebombed his Porsche because he was dating singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

The general manager of L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills described Combs, a regular guest, as problematic.

Former employee George Kaplan testified that he quit his dream job after witnessing Combs attack a girlfriend in 2015.

The jury has been excused for the holiday weekend
