Details On Kid Cudi’s 2012 Porsche Damage
TMZ released photos showing the aftermath of Kid Cudi’s car fire from January 2012. Kid Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, told jurors that someone cut a hole in the convertible top of his Porsche and a Motolov cocktail was found on the passenger seat inside the vehicle, according to PEOPLE. The photos show a large slash in the soft top and significant damage to the red interior. Additionally, the driver’s seat appeared burned and covered in black residue.
On the stand, Kid Cudi also recalled police responding to his home for a suspected break-in. The musician remembered getting a call from his dog sitter at the time, who told him his car was on fire. He told the court he believed Diddy was responsible for the fire, saying the incident happened after he found out about his relationship with Cassie in 2011.“I knew he had something to do with it,” Cudi told the jury. However, Combs denied having any involvement. Last week, Cassie testified that Diddy had threatened to blow up Cudi’s car and harm him after learning about their relationship.
