Combs' federal sex-crimes trial resumed in Manhattan on May 15, and the one-time mogul's lawyers continued asking Cassie about what they have called her own history of domestic violence. The rapper's lawyers have also alleged she was motivated by money to get back at him.

In 2011, she met rapper Scott Mescudi, whose stage name is Kid Cudi. At the time, she was “not in the greatest place” with Combs, and began dating Mescudi, she told a Manhattan jury on Wednesday as the third day of Combs' sex crimes trial wrapped up.

Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura returns to the witness stand Thursday in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s Manhattan sex-trafficking case for cross-examination, following two days of direct testimony where she described a decade of harrowing abuse — including an alleged rape in 2018 after breaking up with him.
