The Diddy trial: Kid Cudi, and ‘Mr. Combs's kingdom’

The Diddy trial: Kid Cudi, and ‘Mr. Combs's kingdom’

Federal prosecutors called a slew of witnesses this week to bolster their racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Many of them corroborated incidents that Combs’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura described in her testimony last week – but others added details that pushed against her narrative that he was controlling and coerced her into sex acts. And musician Kid Cudi took the stand to talk about the molotov cocktail he said was thrown into his Porsche.

Style reporter Anne Branigin breaks down the key testimony from this week and how the trial is going for each side so far.

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Carla Spartos and Shayna Jacobs.
