Kid Cudi storms off stage at festival after fans throw objects at him
Rapper Kid Cudi was filmed storming off stage during his performance at a music festival after becoming angered by fans throwing objects in his direction.
Last night, the Day ‘n’ Nite musician began his set at Rolling Loud, having replaced Kanye West as a headliner at the event in Miami, after West ‘decided that he [would] no longer be performing’.
While the Gold Digger rapper ended up making a surprise appearance during Lil Durk’s performance, Cudi’s set reportedly came to an abrupt stop when he addressed the crowd, ordering them to stop chucking objects his way.
In a video captured by someone in the audience, the singer, 38, – whose real name is real name Scott Mescudi – could be heard saying: ‘If I get hit by one more f**king thing, if I see one more f**king thing on this f**king stage, I’m leaving. Don’t f**k with me.’
Seconds later, an object could be seen flying past his head, as he then turned and walked off as the crowd booed and jeered.
According to NME, the rapper’s set is said to have ended after just 30 minutes because of the incident, lasting for only four tracks.
It’s claimed that people in the audience for Cudi’s set were chanting West’s name before he exited the stage.
Cudi and West, 45, were previously close friends, but their relationship has become fractured as of late due to Cudi’s personal connection to comedian Pete Davidson, who’s dating West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Earlier this year, West announced that Cudi had been removed from the sequel to his 2021 album Donda, stating in a handwritten note: ‘Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who. We all speak in Billie language now.’
He then added: ‘I just wanted my friend to have my back the knife just goes in deeper.’
Cudi reportedly wrote in a now-deleted social media post: ‘Too bad I don’t wanna be on ur album u….. dinosaur. hahah. Everyone knows ive been the best thing about ur albums since I met u. ima pray for u brother.’
He added: ‘We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE.
‘Oh man im too blessed.’
