Sean Diddy Combs' former global brand director accuses rapper of kidnapping her at gunpoint, reveals details of plot to kill Kid Cudi

A former top aide to Sean 'Diddy' Combs testified Tuesday that the hip-hop mogul threatened to kill her during her first day on the job and kidnapped her at gunpoint as he sought to kill rapper Kid Cudi. Capricorn Clark’s account of Combs’ volatility and violence launched the third week of testimony at his federal sex trafficking trial in Manhattan. Prosecutors called Clark, the former global brand director for Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment, as they work to prove he led a two-decade racketeering conspiracy that relied on beefy bodyguards, death threats and the silence of frightened staff to ensure he got what he wanted.

55-year-old Combs has pleaded not guilty to an indictment alleging he abused his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, and others. If convicted he could face 15 years to life in prison.

Clark's testimony came days after Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi, testified that Clark called him from a car outside his home in December 2011 and told him Combs had forced her to accompany him to Cudi's house.


Combs was angry Cudi was dating Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, Clark said.

Clark, who mostly referred to Combs as 'Puff' during her testimony, said he came to her home with a gun in his hand, demanded that she get dressed and come with him because "we're going to kill Cudi".

Clark, her voice shaky at times, said they rode in a black Cadillac Escalade to Cudi's Los Angeles home, where Combs and his bodyguard entered the residence while Clark sat in the SUV and called Cassie.

Clark testified she told Cassie that Combs “got me with a gun and brought me to Cudi’s house to kill him.” Clark said she heard Cudi in the background asking, “He’s in my house?” She said she told Cassie, “Stop him, he’s going to get himself killed.” Cassie told her she couldn’t stop Cudi, she recalled.

Combs returned to the Escalade and asked Clark who she was talking to, Clark testified. He grabbed the phone and called Cassie back, she said.

They then heard Cudi driving up the road, she said. Combs and his bodyguard got back in the SUV and chased after Cudi, finally giving up when they passed police cars that were heading for Cudi’s house.
