Kid Cudi has checked himself into rehab.
On Tuesday night, via Facebook, Kid Cudi announced that he has checked himself into a treatment center for “depression and suicidal urges.” In a heartfelt letter to his fans, Cudi expressed that he is not at peace, and rehab is something that he has to do for his family, daughter, fans, and most importantly – himself.
Cudi wrote, “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.”
He went on to say, “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.”
As far as his music, Cudi says his upcoming album, “Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin” is still on the way, and that he wanted to “square away all the business” so he could focus on his recovery. He concluded his letter with an apology to his fans.
We at Inyaearhiphop wish Cudi a speedy recovery!
