In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian in the case of United States v. Combs, the government responded to the defense’s anticipated objections regarding the testimony of Scott Mescudi, known publicly as Kid Cudi. The defense seeks to exclude several portions of Mescudi’s testimony, including his account of a conversation with Capricorn Clark during her alleged kidnapping, which occurred concurrently with a break-in at his own residence in December 2011. Additionally, the defense objects to Mescudi’s testimony about statements made to him by Cassie Ventura regarding alleged physical abuse by Combs. They argue that these statements constitute inadmissible hearsay and are unfairly prejudicial to the defendant.
The government counters that this testimony is indeed admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence. Prosecutors argue that Mescudi’s recollection of events and conversations falls within permissible testimony, especially given the timing and context—such as the kidnapping and break-in happening simultaneously. They also defend the inclusion of Mescudi’s understanding of who was responsible for the arson attack on his vehicle, as well as Diddy’s subsequent 2015 apology to him, as probative and relevant to demonstrating the defendant’s consciousness of guilt. The government maintains that this testimony supports their broader narrative of a pattern of intimidation, abuse, and retaliatory violence.
