Rapper Kid Cudi stated in a message on Facebook in 2016 that he had checked himself into rehabilitation for “depression and suicidal urges.”

“Its been difficult for me to find the words to what Im about to share with you because I feel ashamed. Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I’ve been living a lie. It took me a while to get to this place of commitment, but it is something I have to do for myself, my family, my best friend/daughter and all of you, my fans,” his post read.

Thankfully, Cudi has conquered his depression and is expected to release a television show he’s produced with Jordan Peele and a joint album with controversial rapper, Kanye West.
