Kid Cudi makes a comeback after announcing the end of his rap career
The release of Insano marks a comeback for the Grammy-winning artist, who previously hinted at the end of his rap career over a year ago. In October 2022, during an appearance on First We Feast’s Hot Ones, Cudi expressed uncertainty about continuing in music, revealing a desire to explore other ventures. He even shared a whimsical idea of becoming a kindergarten teacher in the future.
Cudi explained, “I just don’t know if I wanna do music, drop albums for too much longer, you know? I’m kind of nearing the end on all things Kid Cudi, I think.” He expressed “I was thinking about this — and this is like a wacky idea I had years ago. But it would be cool to, like, one day be a kindergarten teacher. And just do that for a couple years,” he added, “Like, when I’m, like, 50… And I just, like, infect the youth with that freshness. Get ’em young, and then those kids will just sprinkle the freshness to the world, and I’ll just be like, ‘Yes! Yes!’”
Now, with the release of Insano, Kid Cudi's album features collaborations with artists like A$AP Rocky, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, and more. Despite the controversies surrounding the promotional statues, Cudi continues to make waves in the music scene with his latest work.
