Molotov cocktail incident explained as 50 Cent takes a jibe at Diddy after Kid Cudi’s testimony in ongoing federal trial

Rapper 50 Cent has taken yet another jibe at disgraced music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, whose ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial recently saw Kid Cudi testify against him.

On Thursday, May 20, the rapper took to Instagram to poke fun at the debacle as he uploaded photos of Kid Cudi's car that was allegedly blown up with a Molotov cocktail by Diddy. Allegedly, the Bad Boy Records founder Diddy acted out of rage when he found out that Kid Cudi was dating his estranged ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, back in 2011.

Complex has reported that photos of the vehicle were shown in court this week, and during his cross-examination yesterday, Cudi recalled an instance of a break-in at his home in 2011 that allegedly left his dog terrified.

"😆Molotov Diddy was doing old school sh*t out here. Old killer Rat Jimmy threw one them at us. LOL @50centaction," 50 Cent captioned his post.

Kid Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, testified for about two hours as he answered questions about his past relationship with Ventura, who testified last week. He was among several witnesses who took to the stand against Diddy, with the latter's lawyers claiming he had nothing to do with Cudi's claims.

Diddy is looking at life in prison should he be convicted on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. He has also been hit with a litany of civil lawsuits brought forth by several alleged victims, the claims of nearly all of which echo the criminal charges against him.

In his testimony, Kid Cudi recalled the first time Diddy found out he and Ventura were dating, back in December 2011, per CBS News. The pair went on to date for a few months. He claimed that at the time, he received a call from a frantic Ventura, who was "stressed, nervous, scared," that Combs had found out about them.

Cudi claimed he took his then-girlfriend to a hotel for her safety when they received a call from a mutual friend. They were informed that Combs and an unidentified individual, allegedly the mogul's employee, had entered Cudi's Los Angeles home, according to Arise.

The latter then alleged that he quickly got in his car and began driving towards his house. En route, he called the mogul up, asking him,

“(Expletive) are you in my house?”

To this, Diddy replied,

“I’m over here waiting for you.”

He testified that he arrived home only to find his security cars facing the wrong way and Christmas presents strewn outside for his family, left in a mess. His dog had been locked up and was behaving “jittery and on edge." He tried calling Combs again, noting,

“I wanted to confront him, I wanted to fight him."

However, he ended up reporting the incident to the cops. The very next month, as reported by CBS News, he claimed a Molotov cocktail was flung at his Porsche, which was parked in his driveway at the time. In her previous testimony, Ventura claimed that Combs threatened her with blowing up a fellow musician's car.

During his cross-examination, Cudi claimed the police never got back to him, and he never heard back about the incidents that took place on his property. Combs' defense team pointed out that no one had ever been charged for either incident.
