Kid Cudi Shares His Experience Testifying Against Diddy

During a recent episode of the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast aired on Wednesday, Aug. 13, Kid Cudi candidly reflected on his experience being summoned to testify against Combs back in May. “I hated every minute of it,” he stated bluntly, recalling the numerous times he was approached before ultimately receiving a subpoena. “I was there because I had to be. At first they asked, I said no. They asked again, I said no. Then I got subpoenaed and I was like, ‘F—. S––. No.’” Despite his initial reluctance, Cudi made it clear that he showed up primarily to support his former partner, Cassie, emphasizing the importance of being there for someone he genuinely cares about.

What Is the Current Status of Kid Cudi’s Relationship With Cassie?

Kid Cudi didn’t just address the act of taking the stand in the trial — he also revealed the current state of his relationship with his former love, Cassie. Although their romantic involvement was relatively short-lived, he emphasized that his testimony was less about the legal proceedings and more about being a source of support for someone he still holds dear. His commitment to her well-being became the driving force behind his decision to testify.

“I thought about, when I was up there, ‘I’m here to support Cassie,’” Cudi shared. “And, Cassie is my friend and I love her and I want to see her do well. When I saw her get married, I was so happy that she found someone, her person. When I saw that she was having kids, I was like, ‘Oh, this is so awesome.’ I’ve always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy, ‘cause I know she was living a nightmare.”

When discussing what helped him find peace with the decision to testify, Cudi articulated:

“I was just there to support her. That’s what kind of gave me peace with it,” he said. “When I sat down in that chair, it transitioned from, ‘Damn, I don’t want to do this’ to realizing, ‘Oh man, I gotta hold homegirl down and look out for her.’”
