Kid Cudi Confirms Cassie’s Story That Diddy Allegedly Blew Up His Car
The "Day 'n' Nite" rapper says, “This is all true"
Former “Bad Boy” recording artist Cassie has filed a lawsuit against her former boyfriend and label owner, Sean “Diddy” Combs. In one of her accusations, she claimed that Diddy allegedly blew up the car of an artist that she was seeing at the time. Kid Cudi has confirmed that her version of events.
According to The Huffington Post, in the lawsuit that Cassandra Ventura, aka Cassie, filed, she stated that Diddy purportedly threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car, and shortly after that, his car allegedly exploded in the driveway of his residence. This took place in 2012.
“In February 2012 … Mr. Combs told Ms. Ventura that he was going to blow up Kid Cudi’s car and that he wanted to ensure that Kid Cudi was home with his friends when it happened,” the complaint says. “Around that time, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway. Ms. Ventura was terrified as she began to fully comprehend what Mr. Combs was both willing and able to do to those he believed had slighted him.”
In a statement published by The New York Times, through a spokesperson, the “Day ‘n’ Nite” rapper stated, “This is all true.”
Social media users on X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the news of Diddy carrying out this alleged act.
An old post from Gavin Godfrey was seen on the site, confirming that this isn’t the first time this story has been told. The post is from 2014.

“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” Cassie said in a statement.
The New York Times reported that she filed the suit in Federal District Court in Manhattan and claimed the abuse against her started not long after meeting Diddy in 2005 when she was 19.
