Kid Cudi Almost Gets Into Fight With Paparazzi Over Kanye Question, Posts Emotional Message

Kanye is clearly a sensitive topic for Kid Cudi, even when the paparazzi ask.

Kid Cudi v. Paparrazzi

Following a social media battle a few days earlier, Kid Cudi was out and about in Inglewood, California, for the Super Bowl LVI(Feb. 13). After the Bengals/Rams game came to a close, the ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ rapper walked outside the stadium when some paparazzi approached.

The clip starts out mild, with Kid Cudi initially ignoring the paparazzi. However, things quickly get tense when the cameraman asks about Kanye West. Upon being asked, “Any words for Kanye, man?” Kid Cudi immediately starts approaching the paparazzi with a clearly irritated facial expression. The short scuffle then ended with Kid Cudi being led away from the paparazzi by his own security. Judging by the brief shuffle of the camera, things could’ve gotten a lot more violent. “Let’s go, let’s go,” the rapper is heard saying after the run-in.

While paparazzi nearly got in a sticky situation, the question to Kid Cudi about the Chicago rapper is no shock. Kid Cudi and Kanye West have had an interesting relationship, to say the least. One full of internet brawls, onstage make-ups, and hit song collaborations. Their latest conflict is surrounding Cudi’s friendship with Pete Davidson. Davidson is currently in a romantic relationship with Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Both parties haven’t acknowledged the paparazzi encounter since it occurred.

A cryptic prayer

Earlier today (Feb. 15), Kid Cudi took to Instagram to share his inner thoughts on the scuffle with the paparazzi.

“God…please watch over me and keep my mind sane. I could use it right now. To anyone that feels alone, in with you, and I love you,” the post reads. Cudi hasn’t been shy about his struggles with mental health in the past. In addition to it being a common theme in his music, he had a stint in rehab for “depression and suicidal urges” in late 2016. He subsequently left rehab that following year.

Judging by his Instagram post, he seems aware of his mental health and is concerned with keeping positive. It’s also possible the Kanye question from the paparazzi garnered a reaction in Kid Cudi. The highly negative interaction took place between them only days prior.

Regardless, it’s clear Cudi needs good vibes sent his way from fans and non-fans alike.
