Kid Cudi shares painful struggle with depression

Kid Cudi, the rapper and songwriter responsible for hits like “Make Her Say” and “Day ‘N’ Nite,” has checked himself to rehab for depression and suicidal thoughts. According to a statement on the artist’s Facebook, where he made the announcement, he has suffered from depression and anxiety for “as long as [he] can remember” and that he “deserve[s] to have peace.”

While he’ll be missing out on much of the promo for his upcoming album, Cudi managed to finish it and promises fans that it is on the way.

This news comes on the heels of Cudi throwing some serious shade at rappers like Kanye West and Drake for not supporting him or writing their own rhymes.

Depression is serious business. We are glad that Cudi is seeking the help he needs. Check out his announcement below.
