Kid Cudi says he spoke to Capricorn Clark, one of Diddy’s employees, who told him Diddy and one of his team were in his house, and she was sitting in a car outside his home.
Cudi says he headed straight back to his apartment, calling Diddy and asking him why he was in his house. He says Diddy told him calmly that he wanted to talk to him, adding, “I’m here waiting for you.”
He says when he arrived home, he found things looking normal, but says his dog was “locked up in the bathroom”, whereas normally “he would run”.
He explains he had had his dog for two years, and that the dog became “jittery and on edge all the time”.
At that point, Cudi says he returned to his car, calling Diddy again.
Cudi tells the court he was angry, adding: “I was looking for him. I wanted to confront him and fight him”.
He says he later thought through “the reality of the situation,” and called the police to report the break-in.
He says Diddy later contacted him several times, saying he wanted to talk, but Cudi says he refused, telling him: “You broke into my house, messed with my dog, I don’t want to talk to you.”
