Rapper Kid Cudi has taken stand as a witness in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial, and revealed that his car was torched around the time Combs discovered his relationship with Cassie.
Kid Cudi confirmed he briefly dated Cassie around 2011, after Cassie previously told the court that her relationship with Kid Cudi angered Combs.
She also alleged there were violent threats made by Combs against her and Kid Cudi.
Kid Cudi told the court that his car was torched in 2012, and made the assumption this was because Combs threw a Molotov cocktail - homemade incendiary weapon - in his Porsche.

Cassie had also previously testified to this, citing Combs’ anger that she was dating Kid Cudi as the motivating factor for blowing the car up.
Prosecutors showed the jury photos of a damaged Porsche, including a hole cut in the roof where a Molotov cocktail was allegedly tossed through.
The photo showed a charred interior.
On cross examination, Combs' lawyer Brian Steele asked if Kid Cudi knew that DNA was collected from the Porsche that was allegedly destroyed by a Molotov cocktail, and that tests showed it belonged to a female. He says he never got a follow up from police.
Kid Cudi also testified that Combs broke into his home and locked his dog in a bathroom in 2011, after discovering details of his relationship with Cassie.
He took Ventura to a nearby Los Angeles hotel where he said he thought she’d be "safe, away from him".
While there, the two got a call from Capricorn Clark, a friend who said Combs was inside Kid Cudi's home.
Kid Cudi told the court he immediately got in his car and started driving to his house, calling Combs on the way. Combs allegedly said he wanted to talk and told him and that "I’m over here waiting for you".
Kid Cudi also told the court he arrived at his home to find his security cameras tampered with and not working.
He added presents for his family had been opened and rifled through and his dog was locked in the bathroom. Kid Cudi said he filed a police report.
Kid Cudi also described other interactions with Combs in 2012, including one where he look like “a Marvel super villain”.
He added that he saw Combs a few years later, and says Combs approached him and apologised for everything and all the "(expletive)".
Kid Cudi says he found peace with what happened after that, not expecting he would get anything more.
