Complex did a really dope interview that addresses a lot of the stuff the has been going on in Cudi’s life, however I’m going to sensationalize the negative aspects of the interview.  He addresses his heavy cocaine use, and also throws Wale under the bus.  I kind of half to co-sign what he says though.  Especially how drug use is a camouflage for peoples problems, and how Wale is a simple a$$ rapper.  Plus I’m not even really the biggest CuDi fan.  You should check out the whole interview.  He also touches on having a kid on the low and punching random fans in the face.

• 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.

  So is that it for cocaine?
  Kid Cudi: Yup. No more blow. People do drugs to camouflage emotions and run away from their problems. Now I’m going to deal with certain things as they come, prioritize shit-man up, so to speak. Just for the record, it bugged me out that people said it was liquid cocaine. No, I’m just fucking rich, and my blow comes in a jar. There was no liquid in it-that shit makes no sense.

  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?
