In a surprising yet refreshing move, Kid Cudi has announced he’s taking a step back from social media.
The rapper took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share that his time on the platform is over. He plans to keep in touch through Instagram but will limit his posts to updates on projects managed by his team.
Cudi expressed his reasons for disconnecting. He mentioned that there’s too much negativity online, and life, in his view, is a lot better away from the constant chatter. He wants to make his art the primary way fans connect with him moving forward.
“I think I’ve been too accessible,” Cudi said, adding that his presence will now be through his creative work. “It’s been real. Goodbye,” he concluded, bidding farewell to the platform.
Among his upcoming projects, Cudi has announced his memoir, ‘Cudi: The Memoir,’ set to release on August 5 next year. While details like the cover are still under wraps, fans can already pre-order the book through Simon & Schuster.
Cudi believes his memoir will impact readers’ lives, describing it as a unique, raw tale. “It’s crazy,” he commented while reading his draft, confident it’s a story that needs to be told.
The memoir will delve into Cudi’s personal history, including his tumultuous youth and the impact of losing his father to cancer at 11. Fans have loved his music’s vulnerability, and his book promises to open up even more of his world to them.
Cudi started working on the memoir in September 2022, revealing it’s both scary and necessary to share his story in his own words. It promises insight into the life of a kid who transformed his struggles into art that resonates with many.
Kid Cudi’s decision to step back from social media highlights a growing trend among celebrities seeking a more balanced life. His memoir will offer fans a deeper look into the journey of an artist who values authenticity and connection through creativity.
