Kid Cudi back on stage for the first time since checking into rehab












Kid Cudi has returned to stage a month after he announced that he would checking himself into rehab for “depression and suicide urges”.

Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, performed at the Long Beach convention Centre at the ComplexCom this weekend and he brought Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott to share the stage with him.

He performed some of his most popular songs like “Pursuit of Happiness”, “Surfin” and “Up,Up and Away”.

Pharrell shared a picture on Instagram with him and the rapper. 

Fans took to Twitter to welcome the Grammy award winning artist back. 







In early October Cudi made an announcement on his Facebook page, writing, "It's been difficult for me to find the words to what I'm 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. Yesterday I checked myself into rehab for depression and suicidal urges."

 He continued “My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I can’t make new friends because of it. I don’t trust anyone because of it and I’m tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling. Why not me? I guess I give so much of myself to others I forgot that I need to show myself some love too. I think I never really knew how. I’m scared, I’m sad, I feel like I let a lot of people down and again, I’m sorry. Its time I fix me. I’m nervous but ima get through this.”
