Feds Confirm Diddy’s involvement in Firebomb Incident
Written by Ariel Newbold on September 26, 2024
Federal prosecutors connected the dots to confirm that Sean “Diddy” Combs firebombed Kid Cudi’s car in 2012.
Last year, Cassie’s lawsuit — which Diddy settled within 24 hours – claimed he was behind blowing up Kid Cudi’s convertible because she’d shown a romantic interest in him. Kid Cudi’s next album cover in 2013 featured a fireball.
Paperwork filed with the court this week reports on that 2012 attack without naming the victim. Though the details match with the Kid Cudi incident. The document states (quote) “Mr. Combs and an associate kidnapped Individual-1 [Kid Cudi] at gunpoint to facilitate breaking into his residence. People working for Diddy set fire to Individual-1’s car about two weeks later by Molotov cocktail.”
The case speaks to Diddy’s intimidation and “violence that helped him control a criminal enterprise” that included kidnapping and arson. (New York Times)
