Kid Cudi is stepping away from much of social media—and he’s finding peace in the decision.
On Thursday, December 19, the artist announced his departure from X (formerly Twitter) and shared plans to limit his social media presence overall. “I think my time is done on Twitter,” he wrote. “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.”
Cudi didn’t hold back when explaining his reasons. “I see too much bullshit on here, and life is much cooler being disconnected,” he said. “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.”
His parting message struck a chord with fans, many of whom praised his decision to prioritize mental clarity over the noise of online platforms.
Despite his reduced online presence, Cudi still has exciting projects in the works, including his highly anticipated memoir. In a follow-up post, he expressed confidence in the book’s transformative potential.
“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,” he shared. “My story is unique, real, raw, and truly one of a kind. It reads like a fairy tale—it’s crazy.”
Cudi first revealed plans for his autobiography in September 2022. The book promises a deeply personal look at his life, including his difficult childhood and struggles with identity. Losing his father to cancer at the age of 11 profoundly shaped him, and his vulnerable music has connected with millions of fans worldwide.
When Cudi began writing, he admitted to feeling nervous about exposing his personal history. “Started writing the first chapter of my book,” he shared at the time. “It’s coming together really well. 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.”
Known for baring his soul through music, Cudi’s memoir is expected to continue that tradition, offering fans an intimate glimpse into the journey that shaped him into one of this generation’s most influential artists.
