Diddy’s legal team is gunning to blow up a major moment from Kid Cudi’s testimony — asking the judge to strike everything about the disgraced rapper’s Porsche firebombing … claiming it’s all based on suspicion, not proof.
EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONYTMZ.com
TMZ has obtained the legal docs filed in Diddy’s criminal case — where his lawyers argue Cudi’s claims about Diddy’s alleged involvement in his 2012 car explosion are nothing but opinion and shouldn’t be allowed in court. In short … they’re saying Cudi thinks Diddy did it, but there’s no hard evidence, no confession, no receipts.

As we reported, KC told the court last week he ‘knew’ Diddy had something to do with the Molotov cocktail attack on his Porsche after ending things with Cassie — but admitted there were no witnesses, fingerprints, or proof linking Diddy to the arson.

When Cudi asked Diddy point-blank about the explosion, he denied it. Cudi testified he didn’t believe him, and claims Diddy even apologized for “all that bull****” when he ran into him years later.
Diddy’s team is now pushing hard to erase that entire exchange, arguing it’s legally irrelevant and unfairly prejudicial.
No word yet on how the judge will rule, but Diddy’s team clearly wants to torch this part of the trial. Stay tuned …

Cassie is getting trashed by a witness in the Diddy criminal trial … all while Cassie is in the hospital because of her pregnancy.
Capricorn Clark, a former Diddy employee, is being cross-examined by Diddy defense attorney Marc Agnifilo … and she’s telling the jury how their relationship changed over time.
Department of Justice
Clark previously said she used to manage Cassie, and Agnifilo asked her why they sometimes did not get along. Clark said in 2008, Cassie went from being a sweet model to a feisty girlfriend, getting more “bravado” as her relationship with Diddy progressed.

Agnifilo asked Clark if she thought Cassie was talented and Clark responded that Cassie had talent and was very beautiful … but was not talented.
Clark said Cassie was more of a studio musician who wasn’t the greatest live performer … and for her, talented meant Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
CC also testified Cassie was at times a hard worker, but told the jury Cassie preferred to be with her boyfriend.

Clark said Diddy supported Cassie with all the components to make a star … producers, stylists, musicians, choreographers, and says from 2007 to 2012 Cassie got more attention and resources than other Bad Boy artists.
Clark’s testimony is still going on as we’ve learned Cassie is in a labor and delivery unit of a New York hospital, which we first reported, but it’s unclear if anyone inside the courtroom knows what’s going on with Cassie’s pregnancy.
