Kid Cudi Says He Won’t Release Another Album For A Long Time

Kid Cudi has told fans that he is set to take an extended break from music after releasing his latest album, Free.

On X, Cudi announced plans to step back from recording and focus on some of his other interests for a while.

He wrote: “Fam!!! I just wanna say thank you to all my fans for supporting Free, spreading the word and sending love. I’m so grateful I have y’all in my corner. Free was my last album on a major label (which is part of the reason I called the album Free) and now I’m lookin forward to a new chapter and being independent. I’m so proud of this album and the reception it received.

“So many people hit me and my friends about how much they loved it. And this last 2 weeks has been really special for me. When u take chances and see people feel u and take the ride w u, it’s a beautiful thing. Please keep runnin it up, tell ur friends, I got a new short film I directed myself for Mr Miracle droppin in a matter of weeks that ur gonna fuckin love. I love y’all man. All day everyday.”

Kid Cudi reveals he’s now fully independent after the release of his new album ‘FREE’, and says he’s stepping back from dropping albums.

Cudi added: “I think ima officially take a step back for a while from droppin albums and focus on directing, more acting, painting and fashion for sure. Its gonna be a while til y’all hear another album from me but I promise when I do come again, it won’t be boring.”

The Cleveland native recently revealed that he had found peace after marrying his wife earlier this year.

Cudi tied the knot with Lola Abecassis Satore earlier this year and revealed to People the profound impact it has had on his life.

He said: “I got a homie that’s going to be there for me, [who] ain’t going to leave me alone. No matter where we are on the planet, she’ll be here. I’ll be there. We’re halfway across the country from each other and I still know that I could call her, that I can connect with her, that she’ll be there for me if I ever have a moment of weakness. If I ever need some help, she’ll lift me up.”

Cudi added: “So I think that’s the illest part about the whole thing. I mean, of course, there’s so many awesome things that come with marriage, but I think the biggest thing is that I got a homie with me now.”
