Who Has a Higher Net Worth Cassie or Kid Cudi?
Kid Cudi is a name that has come up in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial, and now the rapper is taking the stand as a witness for the prosecution.
Before the trial began, Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, was named in a civil lawsuit filed against the disgraced music mogul in 2023 by his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She claimed that Diddy was upset after finding out that she had a brief relationship with the Happy Gilmore 2 actor and threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car. Cassie alleged that she “was terrified, as she began to fully comprehend what Mr. Combs was both willing and able to do to those he believed had slighted him.”
In 2012, a Porsche Cudi owned was set on fire from what police described as an “incendiary device.”
After the singer filed her suit, a rep for Kid Cudi told The New York Times, “This is true.”
Instead of going to court with Cassie, Diddy settled with his ex for $20 million. Here’s more about Cassie’s net worth, as well as what that is compared to Kid Cudi’s.
What is Cassie’s net worth?
Cassie got her start in the music industry in 2004 when she met producer Ryan Leslie. The two began collaborating and she was eventually signed to Tommy Mottola’s management company. She worked with Leslie on the single “Me & U” in 2006. The track was a success. It climbed the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at No. 3 and going Platinum.
Diddy heard that song while at a club and agreed to release Cassie’s debut album through both Leslie’s imprint and his own label Bad Boy Records and became her manager.
In addition to her musical career, Cassie has also done some acting including in the films The Perfect Match and Step Up 2: The Streets. She had a few endorsement deals with Porsche, Patrick Ta, and Pat McGrath makeup lines and has done modeling campaigns as well with SKIMS and Diesel.
During her testimony on May 16, Cassie revealed she is expected to receive a $10 million settlement from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where Combs was seen on video physically assaulting her as she tried to leave and waited by the elevators.
Currently, Cassie’s net worth is estimated to be around $15 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. Before her settlement with Diddy was announced, it was estimated at $4 million.
What is Kid Cudi’s net worth?
Kid Cudi started rapping when he was in high school. In 2008, he released his first mix tape titled A Kid Named Cudi. When Kanye West heard it, he signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label.
The hip-hop artist released his debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, in 2009. It reached No. 4 on the Billboard charts and its first single “Day ‘n’ Nite” became an international hit. Since then, Cudi has continued turning out successful tracks, which earned him two Grammy Awards and several nominations.
During the course of his career, Kid Cudi has worked with some of the biggest names in music,such as Jay-Z, Common, Mary J. Blige, Shakira, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bolton.
Kid Cudi is also an actor. He appeared in the TV show One Tree Hill and starred in the HBO comedy How to Make It in America, as well as the Indie films Two Night Stand and Tacoma. His other acting credits include roles in Scorpion, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, James White, and Bill & Ted Face the Music.
His current estimated net worth is just a bit more than Cassie’s at $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
