Diddy's former employee, Capricorn Clark, claimed he had wanted to kill Kid Cudi after finding out the latter was dating Cassie.

On Tuesday (May 27), Clark took the stand, and in her testimony, she said Diddy showed up to her apartment with a firearm and was "livid" over the news about Cassie and Cudi. Clark claimed the disgraced rap mogul told her, "Get dressed, we're going to kill this n***a," and after saying she didn't want to go, he replied, "I don't give a fuck what you want, get dressed."

After arriving at Cudi's home, Clark stated Diddy and his security guard left her in the car and entered Cudi's home through the front door. She called Cassie on a burner phone to warn her, and when Diddy came back to the car, he took the phone and called the last number she had dialed.

"He took my phone and called the last number," said Clark, according to live tweets in the courtroom from Inner City Press. "Then I saw Cudi driving up. Mr. Combs saw my face and said, 'There's that n***a right there.' We drove off and saw police driving the other way toward Cudi's house."

Complex's Shawn Setaro also reported that Clark stated Cudi saw her and Diddy in the car and drove off, which led to Diddy chasing after him. Cudi eventually lost them, while Diddy allegedly held Clark hostage until Cassie arrived at his home.

According to Clark, Diddy instructed them to remain quiet about the incident and to persuade Cudi to inform the police that he wasn't involved in the break-in. She also testified to witnessing Diddy beat Cassie after the break-in at Cudi's home, and if she had intervened, Diddy allegedly said she would have gotten a beating, too.

Elsewhere in her testimony, Clark said that Diddy threatened her for being a former employee of Death Row Records and forced her to take a polygraph test for 5 days after being accused of stealing. She also highlighted how Diddy spoke about his issues with 50 Cent and claimed he said, "I don't like all the back and forth ... I like guns."
