Kid Cudi<\/a> has admitted that he was reluctant to testify against Diddy<\/a> in his sex trafficking trial earlier this year.<\/p>\n Speaking to CBS News<\/em><\/a>, Cudi said he did it for the sake of Cassie.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cIt was really hard. I didn\u2019t want to do it. I got subpoenaed and I knew I was helping Cassie and I just wanted to be there for her and help her out. It was a tough situation.\u201d<\/p>\n Cudi also addressed the backlash to his testimony: \u201cThe backlash was swift. I had a lot of people that supported me, but there were a few that were \u2014 you know \u2014 had some opinions about it. It was interesting because I\u2019m not no street dude. I don\u2019t live by no code, you know? I guess it\u2019s because I\u2019m a rapper, people just threw that on me. But, like, my music has never been about that and I have never tried to pretend I was about that. I\u2019m from the suburbs, baby, you know what I\u2019m sayin\u2019? Straight up.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cBut I ain\u2019t let it faze me, so I know I was doing the right thing. Fuck \u2019em, you know. Let those motherfuckers think whatever they want.\u201d<\/p>\n Cudi also described what it was like being on the stand: \u201cIt was weird, man, because that was the first time I had seen him in a while. We made eye contact a couple times. It was fucking weird, but I\u2019m glad I got through it. Got it behind me. I know I did the right thing, so that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
