Diddy 'kidnapped aide at gunpoint' to confront rival rapper, court hears

Sean "Diddy" Combs kidnapped a former aide at gunpoint to join him as he attempted to confront love rival rapper Kid Cudi, his sex-trafficking trial has been told.

Capricorn Clark, who worked for the Bad Boy Records co-founder in different roles on and off for several years, told the court he banged on her door and told her: "Get dressed, we're going to kill Mescudi." Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, last week testified himself about the alleged incident in December 2011. Ms Clark became tearful a few times as she gave evidence - which marked the start of the third week of the high-profile trial.

She told the court her situation working for the hip-hop mogul was "complicated". Combs, 55, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, is accused of subjecting his former long-term partner Cassie and others to years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial: Day 10 - as it happened While giving her own evidence in the first week of the trial, Cassie told jurors she dated Cudi briefly during a difficult period in her on-off relationship with Combs. On Tuesday, Ms Clark said she warned Cassie about seeing Cudi, saying she took her to buy a burner phone as she thought it could be dangerous given how Combs might react.

"The way she was moving, she was going to get us all killed," Ms Clark said. Combs arrived at her home with a gun in his hand on the morning of the attempted confrontation with Cudi, she told the court, and looked "furious".

She says she told him she did not want to go with him, to which he allegedly replied: "I don't give a f**k what you want to do." Ms Clark said she had never seen "anything like this before.
