Kid Cudi reevaluated his marijuana use and performance process after his rehabilitation work last fall, ahead of his memoir and latest album release.
The 41-year-old artist, born in Scott Mescudi, told people he checked himself in November 2024 for treatment to address his dependence on weeds.
“I just abused it in this place,” he said. “I’m really abused it. I smoked maybe 15 bluntly every day, woke up in the morning and became high. It really dominated my life.”
Kudy said he gave up smoking completely for two months before reintroducing smoking.
“Now I just have free time in the evening or weekend, I’m just relaxing, but I’m not as much smoking as I used to be,” he said. “A joint lasted me all day, damn it. So my relationship changed with a big way. I’m more interested in becoming more awake and more present.”

This change has affected his work on the screen. Cudi said during the filming that he is known for his role of “don’t look up to” and how to make it in the United States. But in a recent project, he stayed awake and noticed the transition.
“Of course, it’s not like hindering me in any form because I smoke so much that I’m not really getting higher and higher,” he said. “So people have seen my behavior for years and they love my performance. They love what I do, but when you’re ready, you’re sober and you can feel the emotion, it’s just a difference.
“Because in this movie, I cried a few times and it was easy to get there because I was sober.

Released along with his 11th studio album Free, Cudi’s memoir, Cudi explores his growth in Cleveland, his rise in hip-hop, and his personal battles of addiction and recovery. Since then, the book has been on the New York Times’ best-selling list.
“I hope it gives [fans] Some people want you to be on the other side and the light, and God lets us go through things because He wants to teach us something,” Kudy said, “It’s always a lesson. Even if it seems impossible, because at the moment, everything seems to be missing, do you know what I mean? But if you really think about it, everything has a reason. ”
