In a stunning revelation during her ongoing testimony, Cassie Ventura told the court on Thursday that she continued participating in sexual encounters—referred to as “freak-offs”—with Sean “Diddy” Combs, even while secretly dating rapper Kid Cudi during a break in their relationship in 2011.
Cassie: “The Freak-Offs Were My Job”
Under cross-examination, Cassie admitted that she was romantically involved with Kid Cudi while on a break from Diddy, yet still returned to Diddy for the so-called freak-offs. When asked why, she stated plainly, “It was my job.” This assertion underscores Cassie’s earlier claims of coercion, alleging she felt trapped in a controlling and dangerous environment orchestrated by Diddy.
The singer added that she was using a burner phone to communicate with Kid Cudi at the time, fearing for their safety. She told the jury she wasn’t sure if Diddy considered them “on a break,” but her fear of him finding out about her new relationship was real—and rooted in genuine concern for Kid Cudi’s well-being.
Alleged Threats and Explosive Consequences
During Wednesday’s testimony, Cassie dropped a bombshell: she claimed Diddy once found messages about her relationship with Cudi while going through her phone during a freak-off. That’s when he allegedly made a chilling statement—that Kid Cudi’s car would be blown up, and he wanted Cudi’s friends to witness the explosion.
In her 2023 lawsuit against Diddy, Cassie stated that Kid Cudi’s car did, in fact, explode in his driveway, an incident later reported in the New York Times. Cassie settled the lawsuit for $20 million within 24 hours of filing.
Diddy Introduced Cassie to Kid Cudi
Adding an ironic twist, Cassie testified that Diddy himself introduced her to Kid Cudi in 2011 so they could collaborate musically. The very person who connected them would later become the alleged source of threats, violence, and surveillance, according to Cassie’s accounts.
Case Continues With Shocking Testimony
The courtroom continues to hear disturbing details as the case unfolds, painting a complex picture of emotional manipulation, alleged sexual coercion, and threats of violence. Cassie’s testimony has become a pivotal piece of the prosecution’s effort to establish a pattern of racketeering and criminal conspiracy involving Diddy and his inner circle.
Despite some skepticism from Diddy’s supporters and courtroom pundits, music journalist Touré recently argued on TMZ Live that the government is making strong progress in proving racketeering, based on evidence and testimony so far.
As the trial continues, eyes remain locked on the courtroom — and on how the jury will interpret these explosive claims.
