Sean “Diddy” Combs: His lawyers go on the offensive

The defense of Sean “Diddy” Combs (55) is now going into a legal offensive: It demands from the court to completely remove the statement by rapper colleague Kid Cudi (41) about the explosion of his Porsch. That reports. The reason: the allegations would only be based on assumptions, not on tangible evidence.

According to the report, Combs’ lawyers argue that Kid Cudi’s alleged participation in the 2012 auto explosion from 2012 argue that Kid Cudi’s allegations. “In principle, a witness cannot say that in his opinion a accused lied,” the application said.

On May 22nd, Kid Cudi, bourgeois Scott Mescudi, said in court that he “knew” that Diddy had something to do with the Molotow cocktail attack on his Porsche. The explosion occurred after he had ended a relationship with Cassie Ventura (38), which was at the time with Combs. “The top of my Porsch was cut open and there they put the Molotow cocktail into it,” said Mescudi. He was called by his dog sitter with the news that his “car burn”. A friend sent him a photo of the burned -out vehicle on the way home.

Diddy later confronted Kid Cudi directly with the allegations. “What will we do about my car?” He asked. Combs’ answer: “I don’t know what you talk about.” Mescudi said in court that he believed that the music mogul “log”. Years later, Diddy is said to have apologized at a random meeting in the Soho House. “He wanted to apologize for everything,” said Cudi. He found “peace” with what happened.

Diddy’s lawyers refer to Mescudi’s allegations as “mere speculation” and warn of “considerable dangers of unfair prejudice”. They argue that the statement is legally irrelevant and that your client is putting your client in a bad light without any evidence. The defense emphasizes that there are no witnesses, fingerprints or other evidence that did not connect to the arson. Mescudi’s conviction that Combs is responsible is not sufficient for a trial.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is on trial for sex trade, blackmail and promotion to prostitution. He vehemently denies all allegations. The process has been going on for weeks. How the court will decide on the defense application is still open. According to media reports, there are no more records about the alleged auto explosion from 2012 more – the retention period for the authorities has already expired.
