Kid Cudi Checks Into Rehab For Depression, Shares Moving Message For Fans

Kid Cudi has checked into rehab after sharing a hugely emotional Facebook message detailing his battle with depression.

The hip-hop star revealed that he’s been battling with depression and suicidal urges, and is seeking help for himself, his family and his fans.

Read his full message below.

Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi, assures fans that not only is his album on the way, but that he hopes to be out of rehab by the time of ComplexCon, scheduled for 5-6th November in Long Beach, California.

More important than his career or his music is his mental health, and his admission that he’s been battling with the mental illness for his whole life is welcomingly frank. That he feels ashamed about even admitting he needs help is a reminder that there’s an upsetting and completely unwarranted stigma around seeking help for mental health.

We wish you the speediest of recoveries, Kid.
