Kid Cudi’s Car Fire Detailed In New Arson Report After Diddy Denies Involvement

The federal case against Diddy, plus a slew of other allegations, implicates at least a couple of other music industry figures as part of its investigation. Many other celebrities emerged in it thanks to social media, although many references to them claim that they are victims or witnesses, not perpetrators. Such is the case for the accusation that Sean Combs ordered the arson of Kid Cudi’s car back in 2012 for allegedly having a relationship with Cassie after she broke up with the Bad Boy mogul. Her lawsuit is what first brought this allegation forth. Now, according to a Rolling Stone report from Friday (September 27), the Los Angeles City Fire Department issued a new arson report of the incident, which took place on January 9, 2012.

Moreover, the publication reports that Kid Cudi’s Porsche was set ablaze by an “incendiary device” at his Los Angeles home. The L.A. City Fire Department concluded that the fire began at 10:53AM local time and caused an approximate amount of $100,000 in damages. In addition, the report claimed that this fire was “intentional,” although it did not mention any suspects. Rolling Stone further elaborated that this appeared in a 2012 report to the fire department, and that a woman reportedly spoke to officials at the scene of the crime. Cudi stated to The New York Times back in November that the allegations Cassie brought forth concerning his car explosion and Diddy’s alleged orchestration of it are “all true.”

Kid Cudi Car Fire Investigation Continues, Diddy Still Denies His Involvement

However, in a statement to Rolling Stone, Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo denied this accusation. “There is no allegation that Mr. Combs was involved in these actions or directed anyone else to take them,” he alleged. “It’s clear the government doesn’t know who set fire to the vehicle or how it relates to Mr Combs, who denies any involvement.”

On September 17, prosecutors in New York asked the court to keep Puff Daddy in prison. According to court documents reportedly obtained by XXL, prosecutors also brought up accusations that the executive’s associates allegedly ripped off the top of a convertible belonging to “Individual-1” and launched a Molotov cocktail to set it on fire. Not only that, but reportedly, police and fire departments have documented reports of the incident that conclude it was intentional. Prosecutors also claimed that various individuals will provide witness testimony that Diddy bragged about his involvement in this.

Kid Cudi Thanks Pusha T For Being His Only Real Friend At Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music

Kid Cudi and Kanye West have a very strong but very complicated relationship over the years. It’s been a lot of ups and downs, but through it all, few would argue that each individual in this KIDS SEE GHOSTS duo has a more kindred artistic or personal spirit with anyone else that isn’t Cudi or Ye. The only one that comes close to that is another of Kanye’s collab album partners, Jay-Z. But the Cleveland creative has now put that into question, as he recently shouted out someone who he called his only real friend (“How many of us?“) when he was at the Chicago artist’s G.O.O.D. Music label: Pusha T.

“Push has been my closest homie since day 1,” Kid Cudi tweeted on Wednesday (September 18). “He embraced me from jump and always has my back. When I was on GOOD music, he was like literally the only one I had a true relationship with. Thats my big bro and I love him forever. We def gon keep puttin out heat for yall [winky face emoji].” We can only wonder what Kanye West might think of this…

However, earlier this year, Kid Cudi made it clear that he squashed a lot of his issues with Kanye West after Ye apologized to him privately. “The reason we became cool again is he apologized to me,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “And it was sincere. I was like, ‘Wow, Kanye does not apologize to anyone, he doesn’t say sorry to anyone. That’s my brother, man. I know he loves me. There’s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We like the duo everybody loves to see.

“I know that in his soul, there is a good man there ’cause I’ve seen it,” Kid Cudi continued. “You don’t give up on people. He’s learning and he’s growing. He knows he made some mistakes. That’s the beauty of it. The beautiful thing is he knows he’s been on a hell of a ride and he knows he’s said some things that he might not be able to come back from in a lot of realms, a lot of spaces with certain people but we grow. I pray for him. That’s my brother.”

Kid Cudi Announces A Lead Horror Movie Role: “I’ve Been Waiting For This One Moment”

Kid Cudi is still dropping music these days, but it seems like he’s focusing more on his multimedia resumé these days. Moreover, he just announced via Twitter that he landed a lead role in an upcoming horror movie releasing in 2025, and while we don’t have a lot of details, it’s exciting and heartening news. “I cant wait to film this new flick im doin next year,” the Cleveland creative wrote. “Its my 3rd horror movie, and im the lead. Its a pretty f***in intense ride, and im ready show yall what im truly capable of. This whole time Ive been studyin as an actor waitin for this one moment.

MAKE SURE YALL LOCK IN AND CHECK THIS S**T OUT ITS CRAZY!! CMON ITS M NIGHT MANE!!! And SALEKA, cant wait for the world to see you shine so bright!! U are a treasure,” he added about M.

Hopefully this process continues for him without further hiccups and he can get back on the road to perform with his die-hards. In any case, we’re exciting to see what this next horror acting gig brings next year. This filmography is rapidly growing, and we can only expect things to get better from here.

Kid Cudi Announces His New Podcast For His “Moon Man” Comic Book Series

Kid Cudi has already dropped a couple of singles for his Moon Man comic book series, and it’s going to become even more of a multi-media project. Moreover, he announced on Saturday (July 20) via Twitter that he will launch The Moon Man Chronicles, a podcast series dedicated to breaking down each issue and its corresponding singles. While some Cudder fans might be disappointed that this isn’t more of a broad podcast from an artist as versatile and long-standing as him, it should still make for very compelling and insightful conversations about Moon Man. The show will be available on YouTube, and its first couple of episodes will also invite comic co-writer Kyle Higgins.

“Startin a podcast called THE MOON MAN CHRONICLES,” Kid Cudi announced to his Twitter followers recently. “A full review of each issue of MOON MAN and songs from the soundtrack that’ll be available on Youtube. First episodes im recording in a couple weeks w Kyle Higgins. It will be live streamed and we’ll be taking questions off the feed to answer on our show. Stay tuned, cuz episodes 1,2,3 comin soon.”

Kid Cudi Unveils The Moon Man Chronicles

Moon Man traces the journey of Ramon Townsend, who becomes something of a celebrity after saving his ship and crew in a near-disastrous moon mission,” Variety reported about the conceptual storyline and thematic through-lines of the Moon Man comic book series and its accompanying media supplements like the songs and this podcast. “Townsend is intent on returning to a normal, quiet life back in Cleveland, though the threat of what happened on that mission casts a shadow over his ambitions. In the third iteration of the series, Townsend begins to test the limits of his abilities, until the return of an old friend complicates his life further.”

Meanwhile, Kid Cudi is probably going to offer fans a whole lot more in 2024. He just released a new music video for his INSANO (NITRO MEGA) cut “SUPERBOY,” and hopefully more visual treatments or singles follow. Whether or not these hypothetical new tracks line up with Moon Man, it would be great to see this creative streak continue. Let’s see what insights The Moon Man Chronicles offers once it launches on YouTube very soon.

Kid Cudi isn’t done with his INSANO era, as he just dropped the music video for his wavy and bass-heavy NITRO MEGA deluxe cut, “SUPERBOY.” Moreover, it sees him happily around Japan, taking in city scenery, walking around empty spaces, enjoying a concert and some good food, and connecting with many creative collaborators. It’s a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, and an infectiously fun one thanks to the soaring melodies and the persistent buzzing bass. Hopefully it’s not the last visual treatment we get out of this era, as most of the additional material from the Cudder universe tends to be just as creative and exciting as the music.

Speaking of which, Kid Cudi is releasing some new singles in addition to this INSANO run, but they aren’t notable because of another album being on the way. Rather, these singles correspond to a new issue of the Moon Man comic book series that he developed and is releasing, with two more issues scheduled for wide distribution at press time later in 2024. The latest of these issues and corresponding songs is “DREAMS I SEE,” and it’s just as woozy and ethereal as you might expect. As such, there’s a lot to be excited about these days when it comes to this artistry.

Sadly, most fans won’t get to see this exciting run for themselves for a while, as Kid Cudi had to cancel his INSANO tour due to breaking his foot at Coachella. “Just finished my 2nd surgery,” he shared on his Instagram recently to update fans on his recovery process and his mental state. “It was a success. Feelin goood man!! Send me all ur love, I could really use it.”

In addition, Kid Cudi also let fans know that most of the rescheduling process for the tour is already done, and that we should get a significant update on new dates very soon. Not only that, but he also teased some more new music that he hopes to drop by summer’s end. Whether these new drops are the remaining Moon Man cuts, loosies, or part of a whole ‘nother album cycle is still a mystery. But amid a hopefully speedy and successful recovery, fans will enjoy the rewards of their patience.

Kid Cudi Updates Fans After Breaking His Foot At Coachella: Watch

Kid Cudi had a great time at Coachella this Sunday (April 21)… for a little bit, at least. Unfortunately, his set was cut short after he fell while performing and broke something in his heel, which a lot of fans were obviously very concerned with. Moreover, some expressed disappointment in the Cleveland creative for not sticking around or for falling in the first place, but the general sentiment is that these things can happen to anyone. Thus, folks sent him their best wishes, and his die-hards waited patiently for an update. The 40-year-old then took to social media with an update for fans with the caption “Hello there.”

“Hey, guys… Yeah, s**t got real yesterday,” Kid Cudi began his message below, indicating that he’s in good spirits and still recovering. “This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26. Like he used to do back in the day. I learned a valuable lesson: No more prancing around, jumping off stages.” We’re sure that he will reflect a lot on this time of his life in his upcoming memoir.

Then, Kid Cudi expressed hope that he will fully recover by the time his INSANO tour kicks off in late June of this year. “I don’t want to let you guys down,” he shared “That’s what we’re aiming for. Not canceling anything just yet. Just gonna wait and see how things go, but I’m okay. A little sore. Yesterday, a lot of pain, but I’m doing better now. I have a little temporary cast on now, and I gotta go get a real cast in a little bit. Apparently, I broke something in my heel.

“This is a major setback, but don’t worry. I’ma bounce back,” Mr. Rager continued. “I love y’all. All day. Engage the rage. But not at 40.” At least he has his engagement to look forward to as well! For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, stay posted on HNHH.

Kid Cudi Hypes Up His Two Upcoming Films, Gets Head Tattoo Around His Skull

Kid Cudi already made his musical mark on 2024 with INSANO and its NITRO MEGA expansion, and now it’s time for other endeavors. Moreover, he recently shared plans with fans for his two upcoming films. “I got the music outta me,” the Cleveland creative shared on Twitter on Saturday (March 2). “I got a lot of other stuff im workin on that im really excited about. HELL NAW, the film im doing at Sony and writing w the Lucas Bros is comin together beautifully. S**t is madddd funny and ridiculous. Cant wait for yall to see this madness. And lookin to shoot my directorial debut, TEDDY, sometime after tour.”

Not only that, but the 40-year-old has previously announced that he’ll focus on film for the next few years and eschew new music. “My next album is already about 80% done, and itll be out in 2026,” Kid Cudi expressed on Twitter. “As always, were takin it someplace new. Just wanted to let yall know, expect an album from me every other year. next year is all about filmin. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Film and tv. So I take a year off of music to do it all.”

Kid Cudi Hypes Up Two Upcoming Movies

In addition, Kid Cudi also made a big creative leap, but not in music or movies. Instead, he shared a new floral head tattoo that he got all around his skull. Back to the movies, though, Hell Naw is a zombie horror comedy co-written by the brothers behind Judas & The Black Messiah. “Sam, The Lucas Brothers and myself have really crafted a tale we feel everyone who’s a fan of horror and comedy will enjoy,” he told Deadline. “You will laugh, oh yes you will, but the horror aspect of this movie will really be something to see. You will be shook. I promise. Y’all know I don’t play around.”

Cudi’s New Tattoo

Meanwhile, Teddy will be a more personal movie based on the “ELECTROWAVEBABY” creative’s 2009 hit “Pursuit of Happiness.” Jay-Z and Jeymes Samuel, also of Judas & The Black Messiah, are executive producing the comedy. “I added a lot of my own personal struggles and experiences in it, so this film is very close to my heart,” he stated online in 2022. “I know that, deep down, this movie will help people the same ways music has… It’s trippy, it’s fun, it’s sad, it’s life.” For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, stay up to date on HNHH.

Kid Cudi Says Next Album Will Come Out In A Few Years While He Focuses On Film

Kid Cudi may have just dropped his expanded edition of his new album, INSANO (NITRO MEGA), but he’s already setting forth his next journey. Moreover, he took to Twitter on Friday (February 23) to share what his future plans are looking like for the next couple of years and what fans can expect from him. Apparently, the Cleveland creative’s next LP is almost ready, so it seems like INSANO really represented a big creative moment for him as far as output. Not only that, but he also made it clear that, at least for the next two years, his main focus would be on other areas of entertainment and pop culture.

“My next album is already about 80% done, and itll be out in 2026,” Kid Cudi, one of the most multi-disciplinary artists in the game right now, told his followers. “As always, were takin it someplace new. Just wanted to let yall know, expect an album from me every other year. next year is all about filmin. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Film and tv. So I take a year off of music to do it all.”

Kid Cudi Outlines His Next Steps

Unfortunately for the 40-year-old, the release of INSANO (NITRO MEGA) dealt with some big issues when it came time to arrive. “Hey fam, the label f***ed up and didnt start loading my album up in time, so it wont be out at midnight. Im workin on this now in real time and my plan is that it comes out tonight just a bit later, Im waitin on a time and ima keep yall posted.

“Im thoroughly pissed, especially cuz i get this call just hours before its to drop,” he continued. “such bulls**t, but i promise u this album is droppin tonight. So roll up, get a drink, binge a show, do something to pass the time, and then, WE RAGE. I love you.” With animated projects, acting roles, screenwriting gigs, fashion collabs and designs, and a world tour on the way, it looks like Scott Mesccudi fans are going to see a lot more from him this decade. We can’t wait to see what the next chapters are for such a talented and enduring artist. For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, check back in with HNHH.

Kid Cudi & Denzel Curry Are Heroes On New Single “Black Ops”: Stream

As one of music’s most multi-talented creatives, it’s no surprise that Kid Cudi eventually got around to co-writing his own comic series. Moreover, Moon Man launched with its first issue over the weekend with Kyle Higgins also at the helm, and in similarly expected fashion, he released some music meant to accompany the series. For this first installment, we have an exciting collab to kick things off: “Black Ops” with the one and only Denzel Curry. While this team-up surprised fans, it’s very interesting to see how the INSANO multi-hyphenate and the main brain behind TA13OO mesh together.

In fact, they switch up our expectations right off the bat, as Kid Cudi opens the song vocally with a pretty melodic rap flow and his typical lyrical matter of girls, drugs, and his hectic path to success. On the other hand, Denzel Curry reaches into his singing bag, crafting rapid lines and switch-ups in a similar way. There’s a lot of chemistry between their performances, and the instrumental is as woozy, trap-centered, and simple as that of Cudi’s aforementioned 2024 album. Even though some fans didn’t like it very much (us included), it’s heartening to hear him tap into more positive soundscapes and emotional pallets. When the fundamentals are as solid as they are here, this is a fitting loose for Moon Man as he continues to brush criticism off his shoulder.

Meanwhile, you can unfortunately only find “Black Ops” on SoundCloud at press time. Despite some fans wanting another direction, the Florida MC’s recent defense of Joey Bada$$’s new style shows that they would much rather innovate and try new things. With that in mind, the All Is Yellow collaborators crafted a straightforward but welcome banger here that pushed their current lanes further. If you haven’t heard this song yet, find it on SoundCloud and check out some standout bars below. For more on Denzel Curry and Kid Cudi, plus more great music releases around the clock, stay posted on HNHH.

Quotable Lyrics
At the booby trap, my b***h say, “Don’t get used to that,”

Kid Cudi Dismisses Retiring, The Alchemist Links With Him After Joint Album Talk

Kid Cudi is really manifesting all of his wishes within the creative world, because he recently linked up with The Alchemist for a studio session. Of course, the two previously worked together about 15 years ago, but Cudi had tweeted last year how he wanted to do a full album with the legendary producer. Uncle Al responded with enthusiasm, and it looks like those wishes are coming to fruition. Moreover, fans can’t wait to hear what the two could craft together, even if they don’t make a full project. What’s more is that this excitement ramped up thanks to the Cleveland creative walking back his retirement announcement from last year.

Furthermore, Kid Cudi expressed as such during an interview with Zane Lowe discussing his new album INSANO, his creative path, and so much more. “I was kind of out of it,” he remarked concerning his commitment to hanging it up. “I was just in this place where I was thinking about my future. It just didn’t seem like there was really an appetite for my music in the ways that it used to be.

Kid Cudi & The Alchemist Cooking Up In The Studio

“I finally got through that whole retirement thing because I talked to my friend Brian,” Kid Cudi went on. “The world knows him as KAWS. He was like, ‘Hey man, I don’t mean to get in your business, but I think that you should rethink this retirement thing. I think you could be around for a long time.’ And to see Brian come to me real, like -– and he’s never approached me about my music or talked to me about my music ever before -– it hit me in a different way. And literally after that message, I was like, s**t man, he’s right. I’m just getting warm.

Meanwhile, elsewhere during this conversation, the two briefly touched down on his beef with Lupe Fiasco. Given the Chicago rapper’s response to all this, it seems unlikely that this rift will heal anytime soon, which is unfortunate for fans of both. Regardless, it’s still exciting to see where Mr. Rager will go from here, and how he continues to become happier, healthier, and more at peace throughout his endeavors. Stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi and The Alchemist.
