Kid Cudi may be the "Man on the Moon," but he's revealing the peaks and valleys of his life on Earth to fans in a new book.
The rapper, actor and fashion designer born Scott Mescudi opens up about his early career, substance abuse struggles and redemption in "Cudi: The Memoir" (out now, Simon & Schuster), a raw look at an artist known for moody introspection and vulnerability.
In "Cudi," Mescudi delves into his Cleveland upbringing and bopping around New York City in his early career during the blog-era rap scene. The book also features stories about his famous friends in music, film and fashion, including his bond with late Louis Vuitton director Virgil Abloh, falling outs with Shia LaBeouf and Drake, and a turbulent period with Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
For fans of his music, the memoir includes the inception of some of his biggest songs and projects, including breakout hits "Day 'N' Nite" and "Pursuit of Happiness" and collaborations with Kanye "Ye" West. For admirers of his acting and style, he details his introduction into Hollywood with projects like HBO's "How to Make It In America" and Members of the Rage, his brand that debuted at Paris Fashion Week in 2023.
