Kid Cudi has announced his decision to step away from most social media platforms, citing a desire for peace and mental clarity. On December 19, the artist shared his departure from X (formerly Twitter) and plans to limit his Instagram activity, stating he will now focus on connecting with fans through his art and projects.
Cudi’s Goodbye to Twitter
“I think my time is done on Twitter,” Cudi wrote in his farewell post. “If you want to stay connected, I’ll have my Instagram, but I won’t be posting much there either. Just projects and updates will come from my team.”
Explaining his reasons for stepping back, Cudi expressed frustration with the negativity he’s observed on social media:
“I see too much bullshit on here, and life is much cooler being disconnected. I think I’ve been too accessible. Now, when you hear from me, it’ll be through my art. I love y’all. It’s been real. Goodbye.”
Fans quickly praised his decision to prioritize mental health and privacy, applauding his focus on personal well-being and creativity.
Exciting Projects in the Works
Despite reducing his online presence, Kid Cudi remains active creatively, with several projects in development. Among the most anticipated is his upcoming memoir, which he described as deeply personal and transformative.
“I’m reading this first draft, tweaking and fixing things, and I’m halfway through. I know this book is gonna change so many lives and inspire,” Cudi shared in a follow-up post. “My story is unique, real, raw, and truly one of a kind. It reads like a fairy tale—it’s crazy.”
The memoir promises to explore Cudi’s life in detail, including his difficult childhood, the loss of his father to cancer at age 11, and his struggles with identity.
A Tradition of Vulnerability
Known for baring his soul through music, Cudi’s forthcoming autobiography is expected to continue his tradition of vulnerability. He first revealed plans for the book in 2022, admitting at the time that the process of writing was both intimidating and necessary.
“Telling my story in my own words is scary, but I feel like it needs to be told. I think it’ll help explain why you all met such a troubled boy in the beginning,” he said.
With fans eagerly awaiting the release, the memoir is poised to offer a powerful, intimate look at the journey that shaped Kid Cudi into one of the most influential voices of his generation.
Looking Ahead
As Kid Cudi embraces a life more disconnected from social media, his focus on his art and personal growth offers a reminder of the importance of mental health in the public eye. Fans can look forward to his upcoming memoir and other projects as he continues to inspire through his creativity and resilience.
Stay tuned for updates on his book release and future endeavors.
