Kid Cudi isn’t having it
Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi has always been one for the people.
Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unexpectedly released actor Bill Cosby from prison. He served almost 3 years for sexual assault. Over 60 different women accused him of misconduct. The decision to free him came not from a revelation of innocence, but from a violation of his due process rights.
Since his release, there’s been plenty of celebrity commentary on the subject. Public figures have shown support as well as outrage. Plenty of Hollywood actors blasted the decision, from Rosie O’Donnell to Rosana Arquette. Phylicia Rashad, a star of The Cosby Show, has been one of the few to praise Cosby’s release.
Kid Cudi delivered one of the most talked-about comments on the situation.
People that are celebrating Bill Cosby being released are fuckin idiots.

There’s no holding back
The Man on the Moon III rapper didn’t hold back, letting everyone know he thinks Cosby’s recent supporters are “f****n idiots.” The tweet gathered over 11k retweets and 57k likes.
Cudi received plenty of backlash in his comments. People called out his old lyrics, brought up his past battles with depression, and even brought up him wearing a dress on Saturday Night Live.
The rapper did not respond to any of these malicious comments and seems to be holding his ground on the situation.
