As much of the Hip Hop community focused their attention towards the 2016 BET Hip Hop Awards, Kid Cudi was cleaning out his closet and giving validity to many fans’ assumptions that his recent tongue-lashing directed at Drake and Kanye West was a cry for help.
Although he seemed confident at the time of the Twitter rant and released a couple of singles from his upcoming Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, apparently, the devil’s minions were still inhabiting his soul.
In an open Facebook post, Cudi, 34, copped to not only be depressed but suicidal and just yesterday, Monday, October 3, he checked himself into an undisclosed rehab location.
Via his Facebook:
Its been difficult for me to find the words to what Im about to share with you because I feel ashamed. Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I’ve been living a lie. It took me a while to get to this place of commitment, but it is something I have to do for myself, my family, my best friend/daughter and all of you, my fans.
Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges.I am not at peace. I haven’t been since you’ve known me. If I didn’t come here, I wouldve done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. Theres a ragin violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I cant make new friends because of it. I dont trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling. Why not me? I guess I give so much of myself to others I forgot that I need to show myself some love too. I think I never really knew how. Im scared, im sad, I feel like I let a lot of people down and again, Im sorry. Its time I fix me. Im nervous but ima get through this.
I wont be around to promote much, but the good folks at Republic and my manager Dennis will inform you about upcoming releases. The music videos, album release date etc. The album is still on the way. Promise. I wanted to square away all the business before I got here so I could focus on my recovery.
If all goes well ill be out in time for Complexcon and ill be lookin forward to seeing you all there for high fives and hugs.
Love and light to everyone who has love for me and I am sorry if I let anyone down. I really am sorry. Ill be back, stronger, better. Reborn. I feel like shit, I feel so ashamed. Im sorry.
I love you,
Scott Mescudi
After initially returning the ill-willed sentiment, Kanye West fell back and called his former GOOD Music go-to man “his brother” and showered him with nothing but well-wishes.
HipHopDX is also wishing Kid Cudi a speedy recovery and doesn’t want anyone suffering from depression to hesitate on calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 24/7.
Grow up and be a man, whiny little shit.
Get off my site.
Fuck yourself, I’ll beat your ass
U wrong and god forgives u
god is a lie
Djf out areare just IGNORANT!..You need to get your mind right!…Go somewhere and pray!
This really hits home, depression is not a joke. I hope you find happiness in life. Get well soon Kudi!
Since when do you go to rehab for depression or suicidal tendencies? There’s mental institutions for that stuff, rehab is for drug abuse. So what is the real story?
Rehab is not for drugs only dummy
Gotta get all those suburban cutters to buy his next release. That is his demographic
just goes to show no matter how much money or fame you have you can still feel like shit……however imma be crying inside my benz grippin that wood grain
“Imma be crying inside my benz grippin that wood grain” Classic ???
This guy would do anything for attention. Like check into a rehab for- wait? wtf? rehab for depression and suicidal urges? Like he’s addicted to depression? what kinda shit is that?
Wealthy ppl are treated better. They are put in luxurious rehab while other broke ppl are put in psych wards with other dangerous ppl together and are drugged from pills. I rather commit suicide like do time in psych ward. Anyway winter is coming so charcoal method around this season gonna be ideal exit solution. Plan properly so you don’t end like vegetable. Think twice before you off yourself. Some things are incurable.
Please get help man. I see you posting on here. There is a better way. You sound like you’re young. Don’t hurt yourself.
looks like he hasnt stopped using the cocaine since he got arrested. got his brain all messed up.
this some bullshit you saying he is crying for help, he got problems he is admitting to it, now he is trying to get help, i don’t see why you people can’t see that some people really have problems, all you can do now is to wish him some speedy recovery and if he released albums later on don’t buy it.
Best wishes Cudi Ill pray for you.
Djf You’re a frigging idiot straight up. if someone in your Family or one of your close Friends was battling issues like this I’m sure you wouldn’t be disrespecting them. Since Cudi has been in the industry he’s always been a honest person about whatever it is he talks about. I’m sure you have things you’re going through or days when you don’t feel so good about yourself. Maybe you should grow up and STOP behaving like a Child. You’re quick to say this on here but I bet you wouldn’t say it to Cudi’s face. He would knock you out real good. I feel bad for your Family you’re an embarrassment.
Get well Cudi keep your head up Bro
