During the trial, Kid Cudi — real name Scott Mescudi — took the stand as a key witness, having dated Ventura after her split with Combs in 2011. ‘I hated every minute of it. I did not want to do it,’ the Grammy winner revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Kid Cudi has said that he declined to testify in court against Sean “Diddy” Combs twice before being subpoenaed. The disgraced music mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation for engaging in prostitution, but was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking in July, and pleaded not guilty to all five charges.

Kid Cudi turned down testifying in the trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs twice before being subpoenaed to take the stand. “I hated every minute of it,” Cudi, 41, said during the Wednesday, August 13, episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
