A former aide to Sean “Diddy” Combs, Capricorn Clark, testified at his trial that the hip-hop mogul threatened her life and kidnapped her at gunpoint as part of a plot to kill rapper Kid Cudi. Clark’s statements revealed the violent nature of Combs’ behavior, claiming he was enraged over Cudi’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Clark described how Combs arrived at her apartment holding a gun, demanding she get dressed to accompany him with the intention to “kill” Cudi, according to HuffPost, SFGate, and BBC.

During the testimony, Clark alleged that Combs and a bodyguard went to Cudi's home while she stayed in the vehicle. She described making a phone call to Cassie Ventura, informing her that Combs had kidnapped her and was headed to confront Cudi. Clark recounted hearing Cudi ask, "He’s in my house?" as she warned Cassie of the impending danger, raising concerns about Combs’s violent intentions, according to LA Times and HuffPost.

In a dramatic account, Clark shared how Combs threatened her during her first day on the job and asserted control over her with violent threats. During their ride to Cudi's residence, Combs allegedly expressed the need to ensure that Cudi would not suspect him of involvement in any violence, declaring, "If you don’t convince him of that I’ll kill all you," illustrating the fear he instilled in those around him, according to SFGate and BBC.

Clark's testimony further highlighted a pattern of Combs' abusive behavior over the years, pointing to a toxic work environment where threats were commonplace and violence was often witnessed, with one account mentioning Combs kicking Cassie with "100% full force" while she curled in a fetal position to protect herself. This testimony aligns with other allegations of abuse against Combs that have emerged during the trial, suggesting a long-standing issue of domestic violence, as reported by LA Times.

The trial continues to unfold with numerous witnesses corroborating claims of coercion and violence central to the charges against Combs, who faces significant prison time if convicted. Prosecutors assert that Combs used his influence and power to perpetrate a series of violent and illegal acts, a narrative supported by the testimonies of multiple former associates, illustrating the breadth of the alleged criminal enterprise connected to his music empire, according to HuffPost, SFGate, BBC, and LA Times.
