Kid Cudi was the victim of a home burglary that went on a little longer than it should have after the perpetrator was caught making himself a bit too comfortable and was eventually caught. The man was seen on Kid Cudi’s security system having a meal, a shower, and even using the bathroom before authorities nabbed him.
TMZ reports that the Los Angeles home of Kid Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi, was burglarized this week, with footage from Wednesday (Jan. 15) showing the shirtless man using the shower, having a meal, relieving himself, and generally enjoying the fruits of Cudi’s labor tax-free. Police arrived at the home around 5 PM local time and took the unidentified suspect into custody without incident.
Cudder wasn’t home when the crime took place so thankfully he was unharmed. It wasn’t listed in the report if any items from the home were stolen or if the man was just making a much-needed pit stop being going about his day. As the outlet notes, the breaking and entering came with a high ticket of. felony burglary and theft of utilities along with being held behind bars on $150,000 bail.
Cudi has been busy on both the acting and music front with his role in the Knuckles series starring Idris Elba, along with a role in M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap film. Cudi also released his two studio albums, Isano and Insano (Nitro Mega).
So far, Kid Cudi hasn’t made a public statement about the crime or the arrest.

Kid Cudi has been branching out of the music game as of late and after making a few film appearances in movies including as X and Trap, the Man On The Moon artist is now tackling… funnel cakes?!
Surprisingly enough that happens to be the case as Kid Cudi recently took to Instagram to introduce his latest venture, Cudi’s Funnel Cake Mix, in partnership with Bisquick, and truth be told, we did not see this coming. Available now on Cudi’s website, the new funnel cake mix will also be accompanied by some merchandise to commemorate it’s debut including tees, aprons and of course some plates.
In his Instagram video post announcing his new product, Kid Cudi included a caption which made no bones about his excitement over his new venture writing, “Introducing CUDI’S FUNNEL CAKES! I’ve partnered with #Bisquick to bring you an at home funnel cake mix and I can’t wait for you to try it! Hit up shop.kidcudi.com tomorrow at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST to snag a box. DIS AINT NO PANCAKE BABYYY!”
In the video the “Better Place” rapper whipped up some of these bad boys in his own kitchen and speaking honestly, the joints looked hella delicious. Even though it seems like most of society are on their health kick these days, we’re sure many will flock to purchase Kid Cudi’s funnel cake mix to indulge in that sugary goodness he’s helped bring to the kitchen table. Especially the stoners because when those munchies kick in the door waving the 4-4 they ain’t taking no prisoners. Diet’s be damned!
Check out Kid Cudi’s post advertising his Cudi’s Funnel Cake Mix below and let us know if you’ll be trying it out in the comments section.

Over the weekend a video of Kid Cudi jumping off stage at Coachella and breaking his foot began to make the rounds and now it seems like that injury will keep Cudi off the road for the foreseeable future.
On Wednesday (April 24), the Man On The Moon artist took to his Instagram page to let his fans know the extent of his injury saying that he has a broken calcaneus and not only will it require surgery, but unfortunately it also means that he’ll have to cancel his tour as he recovers from the injury.
“The injury is much more serious than I thought. Anyone who bought tickets will get a full refund, you’ll get an email soon. We will be back with new tour dates as soon as possible, and I can’t wait to get back out there with you guys and turn up how we do. I’m so sorry fam and I love you all so much, thanks for the endless love and support.”
We’re sure fans are disappointed with the news but the man needs time to heal. We doubt many people want to see him performing from a wheelchair. Well, some might. You never know.
As we said the injury happened while Cudi was doing his set at Coachella this past weekend and though the jump from the stage to the ground wasn’t a big one, it seemed like Cudi landed wrong and that was enough to cause some serious damage.
Check out the video of the incident below and wish Kid Cudi a speedy recovery, y’all.

Kid Cudi is now officially on the injured reserve. He recently broke his foot after stage diving at Coachella.
As spotted on TMZ the Cleveland, Ohio native is down bad. Last week he brought his distinctive discography to life at the popular music festival. On Sunday, April 21 while performing on the Sahara Stage he decided to take flight but was not cleared for landing. After jumping off it was obvious he landed funny and was seen on the ground writhing in pain. Unable to get up on his own, two security guards rushed to his aide, offered assistance and helped him walk but he was unable to finish his set.
Later in the day he updated his fans via X, formerly Twitter, admitting he took a major bump. “Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. 🤦🏾♂️ just leavin the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”
On Monday, April 22 Mr. Rager shared a video from his bed explaining the moment saying “um sh*t got real yesterday. This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26.” He went on to say he learned a very valuable lesson. “No more prancing around jumping off stages. I am hoping I will be healed up in time for tour. That’s the plan.”

Kid Cudi’s pursuit of happiness regarding finding a wife has ended.
Spotted on Page Six, Kid Cudi is now engaged. The New York Post’s celebrity gossip section reports the rapper/actor revealed his engagement to menswear designer Lola Abecassis Sartore.
The “Day ‘n’ Nite” crafter announced the news in an Instagram post featuring a photo of the couple, writing, “My fiancé Lola and me at the Knuckles premiere.”
He continued, “This amazing woman makes me so happy, she is everything to me and im so excited to share this news w u all. Life is wild, and right when I felt my future was uncertain, it became crystal clear with Lola. Happy Cud in full effect.”
Satore followed Cudi’s post with her own, sharing the same photo and writing in the caption, “I never thought I could love someone this much! I’m so proud to call you my fiancé, Scott.”
She also commended Cudi’s performance in the upcoming Paramount+ series Knuckles, a spinoff from the Sonic The Hedgehog films starring Idris Elba as the popular video game character.
“I can’t wait for you all to see this amazing man in the new Knuckles show!” Satore wrote in her post.
Cudi hopped in the comment section, responding to his fianceé, “U have me forever.”
Awwww, we love to see the couple loving on each other on social media, and so do other celebrities like Amber Rose, Ty Dolla $ign, and Bryan Greenberg, who also sent their well-wishes.
Congrats to Cudi and Sartore.

For years now Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi have been embroiled in a weird and unnecessary beef, and though the former seems ready to bury the hatchet and move on from the conflict, Lupe Fiasco isn’t letting anything go too easily.
Over the weekend, Cudi tried to take the high road and attempted to squash the drama between the two rappers by taking to X, formerly Twitter, and apologizing to Lupe saying that he “love’s” him and hopes he can “find it in ur heart to get past this.” He even went out on a limb and told his fans that Lupe actually “love me y’all don’t get it twisted” and that the Chicago rapper is only “beefin’ w himself at this point.”
Seems like those kindish words weren’t enough for Lupe to accept the olive branch that Cudi extended. He responded on X saying, “this ain’t enough…you need to talk to me.” Obviously Lupe wants to air out the situation personally (privately?) with Cudi. Cudder also publicly said he sent him a DM, which left fans scratching their heads.
Thankfully for everyone, the two apparently did actually get on the horn and hashed things out with Cudi tweeting, “Just talked to Lupe. Had a great talk. I know I was wrong and told him I shouldn’t have did that f*ck sh*t I did.” Lupe responded to the tweet with his own two cents saying, “Sincerely appreciate it my guy… peace & blessings.”
The “f*ck sh*t” that Cudi is referring to is when he criticized Lupe for offering fans a personalized verse for $500 a decade ago. While it seems like such a small thing to break a friendship over, whenever you knock someone’s hustle, expect some kind of repercussion to follow.
Still, we’re glad to see the two back in each other’s good graces. Maybe we’ll get a collaboration track from the two sometime in the future.
What do y’all think of Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi finally squashing their beef? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kid Cudi and Kanye West are cool again. During a recent interview, the latter said a sincere apology from Ye is what led to them squashing their latest public fall out.
Cudi hit up Apple Music 1 and spoke to Zane Lowe about a number of topics, but of course the first many want to know is what’s up with him and Yeezy? In case you need catching up, recently the two friends were not on good terms, at all. Back in 2022 (they’d also been on the outs before), Ye dropped his Donda album, and Cudi was noticeably not on it despite being one of his most frequent collaborators. But then Ye threw salt in the wound by specifying that Cudi’s absence was due to him being friends with Pete Davidson, who at the time was seeing Ye’s soon to be ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The “Day N Nite” rapper continued to stress that their friendship was done for almost two years before they were seen hugging it out in late 2023 while Ye was live streaming that Vultures album, that still hasn’t dropped, btw.
But now as Cudi is promoting his latest album, INSANO, he and Ye are brothers, again. “Siblings hurt you the most,” Cudi told Zane Low. “So you go through things, but family is always there. You don’t give up on family. And I think in the thick of it, when it was going down, I wanted to walk away. I wanted to give up, but in thinking about it the past couple years, it’s like this is someone who is my brother ultimately who came into my life and championed me and did things for me that nobody else did for me early on in my career. People don’t even know that Kanye paid for the first day and night video when I didn’t have a deal. This was like, he needs a video, so I’m a pay for it. Guy saw me to shoot it, saw me the first director. Didn’t know me, but was sure just doing a favor and so shit like that.”
True, true. But it was Ye actually saying “sorry” that sealed the deal, this time.
He adds, “He’s learning and he’s growing. He knows he made some mistakes and I think that that’s the beauty of it, is this is a beautiful thing. It’s like he knows he’s been on one hell of a ride and he knows, he’s said some things that he might not be able to come back from in a lot of realms, in a lot of spaces from certain people. But we grow and I think I pray for him, and that’s my brother. And the reason why we became cool again is because he apologized to me and it was sincere. I was just like, ‘Wow.’ Kanye does not apologize to anybody and say sorry to anyone. And that’s my brother, man. I know he loves me and there’s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We like the duo that everybody loves to see.”
Until they’re not. As for Insano, Cudder is quite excited about it. “I want people to arguably have the debate about my sh*t being one of the best albums of the year,” he said. “I didn’t want to have any doubts. I wanted to make something that was completely undeniable.”
Kid Cudi’s new and 11th album Insano is out now. Check out the full interview below.

Drake might consider himself a certified lover boy, but the man does seem to be a bit toxic as he threw some darts Rihanna’s way on his last album, For All The Dogs.
Luckily for Riri, she’s boo’d up with a man by the name of A$AP Rocky, and unlike Pardison Fontaine, Rocky isn’t letting any man slander his queen. On Kid Cudi’s new cut “WOW,” the Harlem rapper shot an arrow right back at the King of the North in the name of his woman.
After hearing Drake subliminally diss Rihanna on “Fear of Heights,” and then taking a shot at Rocky on “Another Late Night,” in which he said, “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, b-tch, this shit get really Rocky/ Damn, what? Dirty how I did him in the Wraith,” Rocky seemingly decided it was time to clap back with a little something of his own. On his verse for “WOW,” he apparently did just that. After dropping some bars speaking about how he and his “vamp bae got our own handshake,” he added “These ni**as can’t stomach me, gotta go get a mandrake.”
Could that have been Rocky rubbing his relationship with Rihanna in Drizzy’s face and then topping it off with a subliminal dart? Could be anybody’s guess at this point, but we feel like this isn’t the end of this back-and-forth. Though a mandrake is a root plant used to treat stomach issues and makes perfect sense to add to a bar talking about the guys not being able to stomach A$AP Rocky, it seems less like a coincidence following lines talking about his relationship with Rihanna. Just sayin’.
Check out the track below. Let us know if you think A$AP Rocky is taking shots at Drake or if this is much ado about nothing in the comments section.
