Kid Cudi 'Hated Every Minute' of Testifying During Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Trafficking Trial — But Was There 'to Support Cassie'

Kid Cudi has broken his silence on Sean "Diddy" Combs' intense trafficking trial.

During a Wednesday, August 13, appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the 41-year-old opened up about what it was like taking the stand at Combs' high-profile trial earlier this year.

Cudi said he tried declining a request for him to take the stand twice before he was subpoenaed to testify.

"I hated every minute of it," Cudi admitted. I did not want to do it, but then I thought about — when I was up there — I’m here to support Cassie.”

"Cassie is my friend, and I love her and I want to see her do well," he explained of Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura — whom Cudi briefly dated while she and the Bad Boy Records founder were on a break in 2011.

Cudi testified in May about his romance with Ventura, claiming Combs once broke into his home while he and the "Me & U" singer were together — and about a mysterious fire that occurred in the "Pursuit of Happiness" singer's car in January 2012.

The "I'll Be Missing You" rapper was accused or ordering someone to torch Cudi's car, though there has never been any physical evidence unveiled against him.

“It was crazy, man. In the moment it was just crazy," he recalled during Wednesday's "Call her Daddy" episode. "I had a hard time understanding if it was reality. I was like, ‘Am I in a movie? What the f--- is going on?’ … It was it was just chaotic and intense."

Cudi continued: "Before all this stuff happened and it came out again. Over the years, I just thought about it as like just some wild s--- that happened in my rock and roll life."

While testifying, Cudi claimed Combs was "abusive" during his relationship with Ventura.

"I’ve always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy. I know she was living a nightmare," Cudi confessed during his podcast interview. "I just was there to support her. That’s what, kind of, gave me peace with it. When I sat down in that chair, it was just about, 'D---, I don’t want to do this.' To being like, ‘Oh man, I got to hold homegirl down and look out for her.'"

The "Better Place" singer additionally opened up about how he was feeling in the moments leading up to his court appearance in May.

"I'm thinking about what do I wear, man? Do I have to be like f------ suit or something? I was like, man, f--- this s---. This is what I’m wearing today. I’m going to the f------ s--- in this. I’m not dressing up for this s---," he revealed. "I'm coming in there with my Levis’s and my leather jacket, and that’s it."

A few weeks after Cudi's testimony, Combs was ultimately found guilty of two transportation to engage in prostitution charges and acquitted of more serious counts of trafficking and racketeering. He remains in jail without bail ahead of his sentencing in October.
