Kid Cudi Gives Up Weed, This Is Not An April Fool’s Joke

While Wiz Khalifa is making his name as hip-hop’s newest pot-smoking MC, Kid Cudi is giving up his love of the green stuff. Yes, this is the same rapper who calls himself “the lonely stoner” and made more than a few music videos where he was seen indulging in the smokey substance. So why is Cudi going straight?

The G.O.O.D. Music rapper explains his newfound sobriety in a blog post on his Tumblr page:

I dont smoke weed anymore. Ill leave it to the kids. Im 27 with a business to run and i need to be alert and focused with my mind strong. For those who still get it on, smoke one in my memory as your favorite lonely stoner. This is not a joke. I know most of you wanna see me all drugged out and fucked up and i know misery loves company, but im sorry those days are over. I had a good run, Amsterdam and all. Im happy being sober. Im happy being a new me. Giva fuck who thinks of me different, you didnt care about me in the first place if you cant be proud and happy for me for growing and starting a new chapter. Im not your puppet or your tap dancing drug addict here to be your miserable muse, i always made music for me to help myself find understanding. I have finally learned from the words in my songs. I love who loves me and who really cares about me. Learn from this, theres always light at the end of the tunnel. Hell does have an exit, and i found it. For those who are looking for a way out, i left the door open, and ill be waiting for whoever wants to grow with me. Peace and Love, Cudi.

He didn’t specifiy that he was planning to rid himself of any leftover jars full of cocaine, but we’re assuming that’s cut out of his new sober living diet as well.

We support you, Cudi! After an arrest and a hazy appearance on 106 & Park, some clean living certainly wouldn’t hurt. And who knows, you might inspire Wiz to give up weed for a little bit. (Okay, that one’s a long shot.)
