"I was really abusing it," rapper KId Cudi writes about marijuana in his new book, Cudi: The Memoir, according to People. "I was smoking maybe 15 blunts a day, wake up in the mornings, get high. It truly ruled my life.
"Granted, it's not like it hinders me in any type of way because I was smoking so much that I wasn't really getting high," he added.
But after taking a two-month break, Cudi started smoking again, but at a lower volume and just joints instead of joints instead of blunts:
"Now I just get after it at night or on the weekends when I have the free time and I'm just relaxing, but I'm not smoking nowhere near as much weed as I was smoking before. A joint lasts me all day, damn near. So my relationship has changed with that in a major way. And I'm just more interested in being sober a lot more and being more present."
Cudi points to acting while high ("blitzed out iof my mind") as something he doesn't do anymore:
"People have seen me act for years and they love my acting. They love the stuff I've done, but it's just something different when you're on set and you're sober and you can feel the emotions. Because in this movie [Happy Gilmore 2], I cried a handful of times and it was easy to get there because I was sober. There's no way I could have done this if I was high as shit."
Previously, Cudi commented:
"I smoke weed to keep me sane. If I wasn't high 99.9% of time, then I don't know, man. It makes me just numb to all the bullshit."
Cudi (nee Scott Mescudi) has appeared in more than 20 movies since 2013, including the Oscar-nominated Don't Look Up (2021), Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020), House Party (2023), Entourage (2015). Crisis (2012) and Happy Gilmore 2 (2025).
Howeverm he's best known for his laid-back rap style on albums like the Man on the Moon series; his latest, just released, is Free. Cudi has five Grammy nominations and a win for "All of the Lights," a 2010 Kanye West song he was featured on with Rihanna and Fergie.
