Kid Cudi Announces August Release of Memoir Detailing Personal Struggles

Kid Cudi, the influential rapper and actor, is set to release his debut memoir, Cudi: The Memoir, on August 5 via Simon & Schuster. The 320-page book offers an intimate look at his journey from childhood through turning 40, exploring themes of depression, addiction, isolation, and personal growth, with the artist describing it as a story of survival and self-discovery.
