Why Kid Cudi and Michael B. Jordan came up during jury selection at the Sean Combs trial
- During jury selection on May 5, 2025, Michael B. Jordan and Kid Cudi's names were mentioned in the federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs in New York.
- Their names appeared due to Cassie Ventura's 2023 civil lawsuit against Combs, which involved allegations linking her relationships with both men during breaks with Combs.
- Ventura alleged Combs became enraged after finding communications with Kid Cudi in 2011 and threatened him, while she claimed a 2015 flirtatious relationship and New Year's Eve spent with Jordan.
- Combs settled Ventura’s lawsuit quickly, denying wrongdoing, and Michael B. Jordan will not testify despite his name appearing on juror lists shown during selection.
- The jury will determine Combs' guilt on charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, with potential life imprisonment if convicted on all counts.
