“Did Diddy try to kill Kid Cudi?”

 

In 2012, only a few gossip pages were wondering this question with the vast majority of readers wondering - “who even comes up with these crazy rumors?”

 

Now, in 2025, it might not just be a rumor.

 

Kid Cudi takes the witness stand to testify against Sean Combs. The man who allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s house, lit his car on fire, and according to a former assistant - the man who wanted Kid Cudi dead.

 

This is Kid Cudi’s full testimony in the USA v. Sean Combs case and the reactions of celebrities turning on him after his story.

Kid Cudi Describes Diddy "Like Marvel Supervillain" Then Called Out By Young Thug As A "RAT"

We have been having a lot of weird encounters during the trial of USA v. Sean Combs. Too many people have been persistently asking the same questions and now it’s starting to just feel weird. 

 

There are people outside the courthouse swinging wooden planks at reporters, spitting on news anchors, and threatening to take someone out with a sock filled with pool balls. 

 

These are all the strange encounters we have had during the Diddy trial. 

What is really happening here?

We Ran Into Some WEIRD People During Diddy’s Trial…

The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He’s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination. 

The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD. 

A man passes by him muttering - 

“Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?”

Another citizen points and squeals - 

“He’s the one! He’s the one!”

With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care. 

This man just won $50. 

How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn’t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet. 

There is a lookalike contest for the killer?

Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here?

Is it the one that was shot and killed?

Or is it the shooter himself?

Or is it all of us?

#407: United Healthcare CEO Shot In Public, But Nation Wants Killer Freed: EVERYTHING We Know So Far

It’s not the most captivating livestream. Ash Trevino is on the phone with her boyfriend and we, the viewers, are forced to just listen to their seemingly mundane conversations.

 

Out of nowhere, the 36 year old mom of two starts getting angry. She starts screaming -

 

“He’s innocent. I don’t care what y’all say. He is innocent and y’all are going to see that. My comments are saying RIP to those who lost their lives...”

 

Ash Trevino starts cackling. What is so funny? Is she laughing at the 2 teenage girls her new boyfriend killed?

 

Or is she laughing at all the other victims her other boyfriends in prison have killed?

 

Welcome to the world of Ash Trevino. Dubbed the “inmate hopper” and the “worst mom on TikTok.” The internet is collectively trying to get her accounts closed and are mass reporting her to Child Protective Services.

Worst TikTok Mom Loves To Date Killers In Prison & Makes Daughters Call Them “Daddy”

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense. 

 

After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing. 

 

He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour?

 

What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter?

She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel. 

 

Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?

These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead. 

 

The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible? 

 

Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?

Brian Laundrie Is Alive? His Confession Note For Killing Fiance Similar To Famous Horror Novel

“The prosecutors already told you about lubricant, and you may know of his love of baby oil. Is that a federal crime? No."

"He uses drugs, he is physical... but is that a federal crime? No."

“We accept full responsibility for the domestic violence present in this case. However, domestic violence does not equate to sex trafficking.”

This is day 1 of Diddy’s trial.

“Is baby oil and lubricant a federal crime? NO”- Diddy’s Defense | Day 1

She wakes up in a room with no memory of where she is and even who she is... What's even more alarming is that her kidnapper tells her that she will only survive this if she falls in love with him. 

Anytime the kidnapper believes it isn't going as expected he drugs up the victim and resets her memory once more...

Today's episode is a Baking A Mystery which is a completely fictional story! If you are only into true crime no worries we post every single Wednesday!

Kidnapped Victim Forced To "Fall In Love" With Her Captor

She wore a turtleneck out to the grocery store that day. Sure, a blizzard was coming down on them, but she did it to hide the bruises.

She looked around at all the happy faces. The smiling couples. They were so in love. If only they could see what she was going through at home. She couldn’t tell them instead she suffered silently gathering up her groceries.

Maybe she heard the other families talking about the winter storm or the news of the escaped prisoner.

You know? The one in her living room waiting for her return. The one that had her entire family tied up upstairs? Yeah, that one. She had to hurry back to him.

#192: Escaped Prisoner Holds Entire Family Hostage & Plays Sick Mind Games

Detective Nel was having a rough time falling asleep. She had a debilitating migraine and was throwing up all night long. Sure, her job as a detective wasn’t easy, but she almost always slept like a baby.

The next day she went into work and was rushed to the cell of a young, doe-eyed girl that she personally arrested last night. It was a shocking case. The girl skinned someone’s entire face off. She wanted to be the next Ed Gein it seemed. In the cell, she saw the same girl covered head to toe in blood, deep gashes in her legs, smiling up at her.

There was writing on the walls - in blood. “Along came a little girl” it read.

And next to her?

A voodoo doll with a piece of hair tied tightly around the neck. It was Detective Neil’s hair.

#194: She Wanted To Make A Human SKIN SUIT - The Female Ed Gein & The Welkom Graveyard Murder

Her boyfriend loved a good surprise. Surprise dates and gifts were kind of his specialty, but this one felt a bit different. She was blindfolded and taken into a building.

He tied her to a chair in the middle of an empty room. She was getting giddy. He had been talking to her about buying a house for her soon. Maybe, he had finally done it!

He ripped off her blindfold and got in her face to say, “welcome to my mortuary!” Her eyes adjusted to the light, and she looked around. Around her were 2 dead bodies of women laid out on the ground. On the mattress in front of her was a woman tied spread eagle. She was still moving.

(Such a good deep dive on this case and honestly really dives deep into the terror that everyone involved must have felt)

#196: The Mortuary’s Serial Killer

A man with a briefcase entered the cockpit of Western Flight 701. The man tells the pilots there are 2 bombs on the plane and a grenade in his suitcase. 

For 20 hours - a couple terrorized the entire flight in hopes of having their demands met. They wanted $3 million dollars in cash, 5 parachutes, a woman on trial for murder to be handed over to them, and a flight to Vietnam. 

And for decades they got away with it - because the sky is the limit.
