Kid Cudi has revealed that he suffered a stroke while he was in rehab for depression and drug addiction in 2016.Almost six years ago, the musician and actor – real name Scott Mescudi – confirmed in a post on social media that he’d entered a rehabilitation centre after experiencing “depression and suicidal urges”.He said at the time that he felt “ashamed” about his struggles, but promised to “be back, stronger, better”.During a new interview with Esquire, Cudi explained that he had a stroke two weeks into the programme, which affected his speech and movement.

His manager and childhood friend, Dennis Cummings, advised that he needed to take a break from music.“Everything was fucked,” Mescudi told the publication.The star spent the following few months in physical rehab before turning a corner in 2017, when he felt well enough to audition for a Broadway play, Lobby Hero, with Michael Cera.

Cudi was required to memorise a significant amount of dialogue, and the role ultimately went to another actor.However, Mescudi said that the experience was a positive one overall. “I proved to myself that I could do it.

I needed that at the time,” he recalled. “I was happy. Like, damn, my brain is still strong. I didn’t lose something in that shit that happened.”The star opened up about his mental health in 2018, saying that “for a long time, I wasn’t happy when I woke up in the morning”.Cudi’s seventh and most recent studio album, ‘Man On The Moon III: The Chosen’, came out in December 2020.
