Federal authorities have disclosed how Diddy allegedly orchestrated an explosive attack on musician Kid Cudi’s vehicle. Diddy’s downfall started in November 2023 when Diddy’s former partner Cassie Ventura filed a startling lawsuit.

Ventura accused the Hip-Hop titan of sexual and physical abuse, setting off a federal probe into his multifaceted criminal activities. Within the lawsuit, Ventura recounted a disturbing narrative from early 2012.

Diddy, seething with rage over her relationship with Kid Cudi, allegedly threatened to blow up the rapper’s car, a threat that soon turned into a chilling reality when Kid Cudi’s vehicle exploded in his driveway.

Now, prosecutors have detailed an elaborate plot in which associates of the Bad Boy Records founder executed premeditated arson on Kid Cudi’s car as it sat in his driveway.

The incident, documented extensively in police and fire reports, involved slicing open the convertible top and igniting a Molotov cocktail inside. Witnesses later recounted hearing Diddy boast about his involvement in the high-profile destruction.

The troubling revelations come on the heels of his arrest in Manhattan on Monday (September 16) after a grand jury delivered an indictment.

Less than a day after his apprehension, Diddy stood before the Manhattan federal court, facing serious charges: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

After pleading not guilty to all counts, Diddy was denied bail and remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, classified as a flight risk.

Kid Cudi, through a spokeswoman, validated Ventura’s claims, stating, “This is all true.”

Casting light on the violent measures used to sustain his dominance, United States Attorney Damian Williams addressed the violence.

“[Diddy] and other members and associates of the Enterprise were also capable of premeditated violence, resorting to kidnapping and arson when [Diddy’s] power and control were threatened. [Diddy’s] violence—whether spontaneous or premeditated—had the effect of exerting his continued control over these individuals. For decades, [Diddy] has spent significant time and resources ensuring that his criminal conduct avoids public scrutiny.”
