KID CUDI QUITS RAP - BEFORE DEBUT RELEASE
Rapper KID CUDI has vowed never to release another solo album following his forthcoming debut record - insisting he doesn’t want to deal with the pressures of the music industry.
The Day ‘N Nite star is slated to release his first album, Man on the Moon: The Guardians, in the summer (09).
But Kid Cudi - real name Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi - is already finding it hard to adjust to the difficulties that accompany fame, because of negativity he has faced so early on in his career.
He writes on his blog, "After the release of my first LP this summer, I am not making any more solo albums.
"I am falling back on being an artist. The drama that comes with it is more overwhelming than the s**t I was dealing wit (sic) when I was p**s poor broke. My friends get mad at me, say I’ve changed.
"I don’t look at it as quitting for I have already accomplished my goal. I have a solid fan base who truly appreciates me and my messages through song. I got multiple big records. I have received worldwide critical acclaim from the biggest tastemakers in the game. No regrets." Despite his early days in the limelight, the star has already received bad press - he was tasered by police following a fight with two event employees at the NBA’s All-Star weekend in February (09).
