Rap-Up.com || Kid Cudi Gives Up Drugs: ‘Those Days Are Over’

The Lonely Stoner has freed his mind at last. Notorious pot smoker Kid Cudi announced that he has given up drugs and embarked on a new chapter in his life. “I dont smoke weed anymore,” revealed the “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper. “I know most of you wanna see me all drugged out and fucked up and i know misery loves company, but im sorry those days are over.”

The G.O.O.D. Music signee, known for his weed-smoking anthems, is happy with his new sober lifestyle. “Im happy being a new me,” he shared. “Theres always light at the end of the tunnel. Hell does have an exit, and i found it.”

The 27-year-old MC, who has a young daughter, explained that he made the change so that he can “be alert and focused with my mind strong,” and has a message for those who don’t support his decision. “Giva fuck who thinks of me different, you didnt care about me in the first place if you cant be proud and happy for me for growing and starting a new chapter.”

It should be noted that today is April Fools’ Day but Cudi insisted, “This is not a joke.” Read the sober star’s revelatory words below.

I dont smoke weed anymore. Ill leave it to the kids. Im 27 with a business to run and i need to be alert and focused with my mind strong. For those who still get it on, smoke one in my memory as your favorite lonely stoner.

This is not a joke. I know most of you wanna see me all drugged out and fucked up and i know misery loves company, but im sorry those days are over. I had a good run, Amsterdam and all. Im happy being sober. Im happy being a new me. Giva fuck who thinks of me different, you didnt care about me in the first place if you cant be proud and happy for me for growing and starting a new chapter. Im not your puppet or your tap dancing drug addict here to be your miserable muse, i always made music for me to help myself find understanding. I have finally learned from the words in my songs. I love who loves me and who really cares about me.

Learn from this, theres always light at the end of the tunnel. Hell does have an exit, and i found it. For those who are looking for a way out, i left the door open, and ill be waiting for whoever wants to grow with me. Peace and Love, Cudi

@Vera,

wrong is thinking you can go rock after day n’ nite. wayne tried it. flopped. cud’s got some pop phase goin on which trashed motm2, now he’s shifting to rock? dude needs to smoke a blunt n rethink that whole game plan

70% is spot-the fuck-on. retire his jersey n come up with a new name

@Vera, I agree! I’ve never done drugs, never will and connect to his music and message. It’s because hes real, any rapper talking real shit is getting attention these days, just look at Lupe Fiasco. People are getting tired of the “look at my money, hos, drinking and druggin” shit.

I hope it’s true since it april fools and all.. if it is true then that is great. I already see on twitter he is inspiring people to drop weed and get serious about their lives. Why live in a haze when you can grab life by the balls. hahah.

Well i’m a stoner till i die, i don’t care if he’s high or not i just liked his music regardless.

I’ve seen this chapter before, he may actually stop. He may of did it as a joke, he may just want the public to get off his back about drugs. Who cares though cudi still my nigga, and if he aint gon be high i’ll smoke for him.

i don’t really feel the marijuana is something that should be given up just like that, or that it impairs the way one thinks and acts. but if cudi wants to lay off the stuff i wish him the best and hope he sticks with it, because if he goes back now, then it will show his fans that he’s just another low-down addict.
good luck cudi!
