Kid Cudi Shared Details About the Burglary
Meanwhile, Kid Cudi addressed the incident on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He confirmed that the suspect was not a homeless person but a “crazed” fan.
“Hey, so I wanna clear this up cause I see the internets running [with] things and making jokes and this s— is not funny,” he wrote. “The person that broke into my house was a crazed fan that has been stalking me for years without me knowing.”
Cudi then said the alleged stalker attended his shows and events in the U.S. and abroad. He drove across the country to break into the rapper’s home. The suspect initially planned to talk to Cudi about a potential collaboration.
“There is nothing funny about this,” Kid Cudi pointed out. “My privacy was violated, and now I have to protect myself. I don’t feel safe now. He rummaged through personal things, my fiance’s stuff, took a shower and ate, all while thinking he was actually gonna have a conversation [with] me. This was an unhinged 34-year-old man. Not homeless.”
“I’m gonna take some serious security measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” he further shared. “I’m not online to see the comments, but word got back to me. People are making light of this, and it’s not okay. If I’m standoffish when u see me in public now, this is why.”
The Cudi previously took a break from social media, he writing on X last month, “Just projects and things I got goin on will be posted by my team. I’ve been thinkin’, I see too much bulls— on here, and life is much cooler being disconnected. I think I’ve been too accessible, now, when u hear from me, it’ll be through my art. I love yall, its been real. Goodbye.”
