Kid Cudi Announces Release Date for Deeply Personal Memoir “Cudi: The Memoir”
As fans eagerly await new music from Kid Cudi, the genre-defying artist is opening up in a different way. Cudi has officially announced the release date of his long-awaited memoir. Titled Cudi: The Memoir and written under his real name, Scott Mescudi, the book is set to hit shelves on August 5.
Described as “therapeutic” by the artist himself, the memoir promises an unfiltered glimpse into the life of one of hip-hop’s most emotionally transparent voices. From pain to triumph, darkness to light, the book captures the raw and layered journey that has made Kid Cudi a symbol of resilience for millions around the world.
A Vulnerable Look at the Man Behind the Music
Cudi: The Memoir isn’t just a celebrity autobiography—it’s a heartfelt testimony. Cudi revisits his childhood growing up in Cleveland, the trauma of losing his father at just 11 years old, his battles with depression, and the pressures of fame. It’s an exploration of everything that shaped the man behind Man on the Moon and Mr. Rager.
In a message to fans originally shared in 2022, Cudi opened up about what the book means to him:
“Goin thru my life and the journey it’s been so far is bringing me so much peace just talkin about certain things and how they made me feel. Moments, people, the fun, the madness, the darkness—such a beautiful ride.
I know this book will inspire you to live your life to the fullest every chance you get, reach for your dreams and work hard to bring them to reality, and keep God close.
My hope is that after u read this, you’ll have the confidence to bet on yourself, and strive to live life as a better human on this planet and spread love.”
More Than a Memoir — A Movement
What sets Cudi: The Memoir apart is its mission. These aren’t just pages filled with stories—they are filled with healing. Cudi offers readers the same honesty and vulnerability that have defined his music, turning his personal story into a source of strength for others navigating their own battles.
The memoir dives into his meteoric rise, mental health struggles, and the road to self-discovery. It reveals the man behind the music with a depth that only Kid Cudi could provide.
A Global Book Tour Is On the Way
In support of the book, Kid Cudi is also launching a worldwide book tour. But don’t expect stadiums or flashy sets—this tour is about connection. Cudi is creating intimate spaces for fans to come together, share in the experience, and engage in real conversations.
It’s another step in his journey to stay present, grounded, and committed to those who’ve followed his evolution from SoundCloud days to silver screens.
What’s Next for Kid Cudi?
While Cudi: The Memoir is poised to become one of the most anticipated releases of the summer, fans are still keeping a close eye on his music. A new album has been teased, and Cudi recently sparked excitement with the emotionally charged track “NEVERLAND”, reminding listeners that his artistic fire is still very much alive.
With a book on the way, a tour to follow, and new music on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for Kid Cudi — and for the fans who’ve grown with him.
