Kid Cudi has announced the official release date for his memoir, which he has been working on since at least 2022.
Taking to X on Tuesday (December 16), the Cleveland native revealed the book will hit shelves on August 5 next year and will be titled Cudi: The Memoir. While the cover is still to be revealed, pre-orders for the Simon & Schuster release are available now.
In a follow-up post, Cudi expressed his confidence that the book will be life-changing for those who read it.
“So im reading this first draft, tweaking, fixing things, and im half way through and I know this book is gonna change so many peoples lives and inspire,” he said. “My story is so unique and real and raw and truly one of a kind. The shit reads like a fairy tale its crazy.”
Kid Cudi first announced that he was working on his autobiography back in September 2022, and revealed that he’d be talking about his “troubled boy” beginnings.
Cudi — who lost his father to cancer at the age of 11, and whose deeply vulnerable and confessional music has won him an army of adoring fans — admitted he was nervous about lifting the lid on his private life.
“Started writing the first chapter of my book,” he wrote at the time. “Its comin together really well. Tellin my story in my own words is scary, but I feel like it needs to be told. I feel like everything will make a lil more sense as to why you all met such a troubled boy in the beginning.”
Then, that December, he revealed the name of the book – though it has since slightly changed as noted above.
“My memoir is called CUDI By Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi,” he began. “My hope is to drop it next year around Sept. Goin thru my life and the journey its been so far is bringing me so much peace just talkin about certain things and how they made me feel.
“Moments, people, aging, the fun, the madness, the darkness, such a beautiful ride. I know this book will inspire you to live your life to the fullest every chance you get, reach for your dreams and work hard to bring them to reality, and keep God close.”
Cudi continued: “Because thru all the ups and downs Hes the one thats never left you alone. My hope is that after u read this, you’ll have the confidents to bet on yourself, and strive to live life as a better human on this planet and spread love.”
