Kid Cudi and Young Thug are making headlines after a surprising moment thats turning heads online. What started with Cudis revealing courtroom testimony quickly led to a head-scratching response from Thug, adding fuel to the fire in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Diddy.
It looks like Young Thug wasnt here for Kid Cudis recent testimony in Diddys sex trafficking and racketeering case. Thugger took to X on Thursday, shortly after Cudi testified that Diddy allegedly set his car on fire and broke into his home over a brief relationship with Cassie. In a now-deleted tweet, Young Thug reportedly wrote, “Dam cudi a rat lol.”
While its unclear if Thugs comment signals support for Diddywhos currently facing a wave of sexual misconduct and abuse allegationsit’s worth noting that Thug has his own history with the courtroom. Just last year, he walked free after a lengthy RICO trial.
Social media is lighting up with reactions, and many users arent holding back when it comes to Young Thugs deleted post. Some fans backed up Thugger, while a wave of support poured in for Cudi. Some of Thuggers’ fans came quickly to his defense:
Meanwhile, countless X users clapped back to defend Cudi:
Kid Cudis testimony in Sean Diddy Combs ongoing trial highlighted a December 2011 incident where his Porsche was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail. He alleged it happened because Combs was angry about his brief relationship with Combs ex, Cassie Ventura.
Cudi also described a tense encounter when Combs broke into his Hollywood Hills home. Recalling this incident, Cudi said, “Sean Combs and an affiliate were in my house and [Cassie] was in a car and she was forced to go with them over there.” Later, Combs denied involvement in the car fire but reportedly apologized to Cudi years afterward.
What makes this even more interesting is that Brian Steel, Young Thugs attorney during his trial, is now on Diddys criminal defense team. Steel, who played a key role in securing Thuggers release, has already made his presence known in court. After Kid Cudis testimony, Steel pushed for a mistrial, calling a prosecution question outrageous when they asked if Diddy had ever had someone killed. Though the judge sustained the objection, the bold question raised eyebrows and added even more heat to an already explosive trial.
