Kid Cudi Discusses Cocaine & Wale

Friday, September 17 2010 11:39 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

Kid Cudi covers the front of Complex’s October/November 2010 issue. The entire feature is ready to read here, but in the excerpt below, he discusses his affiliation with that white girl and Wale.

Complex: How heavy did the drug use get?
Kid Cudi:
I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.

Did you ever feel like you had a problem?
Kid Cudi
: I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times. It took a lot for me to talk about shit like this on the album. I don’t feel like I need to explain myself to anyone besides the fans. My fans don’t believe shit until they hear me say it. And those are true Kid Cudi fans. I want them to know the story.

…Speaking of Wale, when you hit that fan at your show last December, he came out with a line about it ["Throwin' 'round wallets like the dude that Kid Cudi hit," from "Thank You Freestyle"].
Kid Cudi: It wasn’t a shot, it’s just a simple-ass rhyme by a simple-ass rapper. You can’t let that shit faze you. That’s one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.

Are your peers not seeing that?
The last album, I let people dis me, throw out those jabs in their verses and have their little slick remarks. This time around, I’m not fucking around. I have no time to think about other niggas. These other motherfuckers like feeding off another nigga’s energy, so they mention their name. You hear me talk about niggas? I don’t even talk about Kanye, and that’s my homeboy! They talk about Kanye like they’re bosom buddies with this nigga. Talking about “I be in Hawaii”—man, shut the fuck up, why you got to tell everybody everything? Then people like Wale get mad that ‘Ye ain’t give him no beats—’Ye ain’t give you no beats because we ain’t fucking with your raps. It’s not a conspiracy theory. We don’t fuck with you musically, so we’re not going to provide music for you. The shit is a service, it’s a quality of a certain standard. Niggas are just so thirsty it’s ridiculous. I’ve been eating humble pie forever, and people still call me an asshole. These people don’t know my fucking life—now I’m going to give them something to talk about.

  20. Jason says:

    Ima true fan. When i heard bout that powder shit i aint believe it till Cudi said it. Thats wat real fans do. Yall believe everything every Blog site post without hearing from the source. Wale last album flopped. Yall wanna talk record sells. Talk Wale before yall bring up Ross. Kid Cudi did numbers and his album was named one of the greatest albums of the decade. Kid Cudi’s creativity is beyond Wale. How many features Wale album have. As many as Ross lol. Fuck outta here

    Ultra co-sign. I can’t stand it when these rapper act like their current lives are so hard. This hipster ass nigga snorting cocoaine to get through interviews? Seriously, personal questions in interviews got you sniffing cocaine. These faggot ass, tight pants wearing, hipster emo niggas are emasculating HipHop. it’s a damn shame

  28. Up Early In The Morning says:

    “Everybody think they Hov. Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.” Kid Cudi

    This nigga must still be doing bumps before interviews. This nigga think he a witch, what a bitch.

  29. slowbot10 says:

    jus last year Cudi was praising Wale during a MTV interview saying he should be on the 2009 hottest MC list…and now he’s saying Wale is a simple as rapper…Cudi’s confused

  30. L-Dubb aka Ironman says:

    Wale is sick with the bic. He actually puts time into his lyrics. Cudi is a decent song writer but bar for bar Wale is on a different level than Cudi. What is Cudi gon’ do against him? Sing a hook? Lol.

  31. spizzo says:

    nigga wale all day eatin cudi

  32. Dissin Wale is not a good move, Cudi “Trippin off that powder”…Let the games begin…

  33. Kidd Rapp says:

    Wale is simple as fuck and hes whack… DC niggas are wack…. Tabi Bonney? Is that you? I smell pussy

  34. mac DIESEL says:

    THAT TIGHT JEAN WEARIN’ NIGGA WENT IN ON THIS CLOWN!!!! HA!!!! WALE IS TRASH AND SO IS THIS NIGGA!!!! TWO WACK CORNBALL NIGGAS DISSIN’ EACH OTHER!!!! HA!!!! FUNNY!!!!

  37. Andoi says:

    Damn, I thought this guy had it in him to survive the fame. Guess not.

  38. EDD says:

    @jason
    Cudi is one of the worst rappers ever to try it. kanye like his monotone when he found him at the same time he was doin 808′s. All of cudi fans are kanyes fans. and if you think that is one of the greatest albums of this decade your blowin just as good of shit up your nose as dude himself

  39. Android says:

    They both wack. A junkie nd a bum.

  40. Killer says:

    “Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.”

    Bitch please. Shut your emo ass up and continue sniffing that powder. I’m tired of these new “rappers” acting like they own the game. These two wack cocksuckers dissing each other is more wack than listening to Nick Cannon’s failed attempt of dissing Eminem. You have no power, all you got is that powder. Now Cudi, I’m damn sure that you are reading these comments. Because you are one nerd ass emo faggot. This shit is just plain ridiculous. Now let me rate these new rappers.

    J.Cole = Dope
    B.o.B = Dope
    Drake = Meh
    Kid Cudi = Wack Cocksucker
    Wale = Wack Cocksucker

  41. Ryan says:

    Bitch please, I’m tired of commentors acting like the shit they say matters

  42. Realniggashit says:

    One word DAMN!

  43. biglo says:

    “Im a Wizard and i know it” LMAO yea nigga im a fuckn NINJA..
