Kid Cudi marries fashion designer Lola Abecassis Sartore following his testimony at the Diddy trial.
Kid Cudi, the Grammy-winning artist known for his impactful contributions to the music industry, recently embraced a new chapter in his personal life. The 41-year-old rapper, whose birth name is Scott Mescudi, married menswear designer Lola Abecassis Sartore on June 28, 2025, at Villa Cap Estel in the South of France, as reported by Media News Source.
Cudi and Sartore’s paths first crossed in 2018 during designer Virgil Abloh’s inaugural show for Louis Vuitton, where Sartore was employed. This serendipitous meeting blossomed into a romance, culminating in their engagement at the end of 2023. Cudi proposed while in Kyoto, Japan, although the couple kept the engagement news under wraps for nearly four months before making it public.
The couple’s wedding occurred shortly after Cudi made headlines for testifying at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial involving charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, highlighting a contrast in his personal milestones against a backdrop of significant legal turbulence within the entertainment industry. Cudi’s testimony included an alarming account of an incident in 2012, where he alleged that Combs blew up his Porsche following Cudi’s involvement with Cassie Ventura, who had a lengthy, tumultuous relationship with Combs marked by accusations of abuse.
Ventura’s shocking lawsuit against Combs in late 2023 unveiled severe allegations of sexual assault and prolonged abuse, which subsequently ignited a federal investigation into the music mogul. Although Combs and Ventura reached a settlement within 24 hours for million, the case had severe implications for Combs, including a trial where he faced serious legal ramifications.
In a courtroom verdict earlier this month, Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have resulted in a life sentence. However, he was found guilty on two separate counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution, leading to potential sentencing that may range from 21 to 63 months. His sentencing is slated for October 3, 2025, as legal experts and the public await the consequences of this high-profile case.
Cudi’s marriage marks a personal high point amid the chaos surrounding the music industry, demonstrating that while legal battles dominate headlines, personal joys can still blossom in the lives of those in the public eye.
