Kid Cudi has historically bucked convention — from rocking a dress on the Saturday Night Live stage to being brutally honest about his struggles with mental health. So his real fans weren’t exactly surprised when he decided to show off his painted nails on social media over the weekend.
But apparently, there were so many other people who criticized Kid Cudi’s multi-colored manicure, he decided to shut down the noise in his Instagram comments.
“Turned my comments off on Instagram,” he tweeted on Saturday (July 17). “Seems people really have a problem w me painting my nails. I got tired of blockin so many accounts. I really need u to understand, if u don’t like me doin this or anything I do, please don’t buy my albums, don’t come to my shows. Fuck way off.”
Kid Cudi again felt the need to defend himself earlier this month after he noticed people disrespecting him online. On July 3, he hopped on Twitter to remind his fans how he’s one-of-a-kind.
“I’m inspired by myself,” he said in a series of tweets. “I look up to me. I’m my own hero. MOTM3 was inspired by my life. As all my other albums. The sound of the album is my own fusion of everything Ive done thus far and some new ideas. I sound like no one else. When u hear a Cudi record, u know.”
Although he never revealed specifically what triggered the rant, he later told a fan, “I gotta let em know sometimes I be seein people talkin crazy.”

The Man On The Moon mastermind also fired back at anyone supporting the recent and unexpected prison release of embattled comedian Bill Cosby.
The 83-year-old, who was convicted in 2018 of drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand over 17 years ago, was released on June 30 after Pennsylvania’s highest court found an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case.
While Boosie Badazz celebrated Cosby’s newfound freedom and Timbaland made a poorly-received Instagram joke, Kid Cudi was seemingly disgusted by those who were happy about the development. Shortly after the news broke, Cudi tweeted, “People that are celebrating Bill Cosby being released are fuckin idiots.”
Kudi doesn’t have the catalog to back it up

Hey Kid Cudi, also, to celebrate pride, go ahead and stick your penis in a man hole. Show how confident you are in your sexuality. smh
It’s so funny to me how homophobic people are the most vocal and vulgar about gay sex. There’s alot of anger coming from your closet
Ya u wouldn’t have been saying then when we bought your albums to get you where you are now. Clown. Fuck way off
That does not mean you should be an arse?.
When that album flops, make sure those comments stay off.
You lost me Cud. As a fan I’ve withstood some pretty borderline shit from you, mostly because I know what it’s like to be different in the hood so I related. But that dress and this nails shit I can’t support. If you gay be gay but don’t try to play with their movement because it’s popular.
Shoulda put that song with Em on the album so it would’ve of flopped, then you wouldn’t have to resort to this b ull s h i t
This dude sucks anyways honestly who cares
As I said about Snoop’s daughter and the hate she gets from social media, stay the fuck off social media and go live your damn life with all of the money you have that we can ever dream of.
Why not just come out the closet? Doesn’t the lbgt get offended by people who won’t come out and be gay? Sounds like there should be outrage and backlash from the gay and tranny community cause this guy offended of being called gay lol

is he wanting a sex change?
most logicial folks have been largely off the streets for 18 months now. So they are really trying to push their agenda on us now. Got Pusha and Kanye taking orders from TYLER now. Cudi wearing a dress and painting his fingernails because he’s not gay. Lol. Diddy sooo happy about Lil Trans X. They want to push all this filth and bad choices on us and our kids. Make it seem like it’s all good just get you some HIV meds and you straight. Hip hop was supposed to give you the knowledge to over stand these times. Choose positive outcomes for yourself. Don’t choose misery and loneliness and despair.
This guy wears dresses and now paints his nails man gtfoh!! Damn clown with female tendencies smh..
That’s right Cudi. Post your content on the world wide web and expect people to comment who agree with you only. Grow up dude and be yourself publicly and accept that everyone doesn’t agree with you or turn your camera off and be you. I don’t get it. Stop trying to get attention. The hardest truth to live is that of a black man. You made it through that so you can make it through some people not liking your nails. Dafuq
