He introduced himself and offered some of his music to West.

Kid Cudi was arrested on June 11, 2010 in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City’s Manhattan borough and charged with felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Despite his arrest, Cudi was released and arrived in Manchester, Tennessee in time to perform at Bonnaroo.
