A former aide to Sean “Diddy” Combs testified on Tuesday at his sex trafficking trial that the music mogul kidnapped her at gunpoint to join him in an effort to kill rapper Kid Cudi.

The testimony from Capricorn Clark, the former global brand director for Bad Boy Entertainment, launched the third week of evidence in the trial on a violent note as prosecutors try to prove Combs led a racketeering conspiracy spanning two decades that relied on muscular security employees and others to ensure he got what he wanted.
