  • We are back with another day in court for Diddy, who has recently been described as a “Marvel Supervillain” by our latest witness, Kid Cudi.  

    Kid Cudi took the stand on Thursday to give all the details on his brief relationship with Cassie and Diddy’s reaction to finding out about the two of them.

    We also revisit the testimony from Sharay Hayes, aka “The Punisher”, a stripper hired by Diddy and Cassie for some of the many freak-offs.

    Tune in to hear the word-for-word testimony from these witnesses and so much more.
