Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, better known as Kid Cudi, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and fashion designer from the United States.
Cudi was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and later relocated to New York City, where he rose to prominence following the release of his debut single “Day ‘n’ Nite,” which he initially self-published on his MySpace page.
What ethnicity is Kid Cudi?
Kid Cudi is of African-American descent.
The song went on to become a worldwide hit, inspiring Cudi to collaborate with American record producers Plain Pat and Emile Haynie to record his first official full-length project, A Kid Named Cudi. The mixtape aided Cudi’s rise to prominence and fan base, and it piqued the interest of high-profile musician Kanye West, who signed Cudi to his GOOD Music label imprint in late 2008.
Kid Cudi is widely regarded as a major influence on a number of contemporary hip-hop and alternative acts. Kid Cudi’s lyrics are frequently autobiographical, describing his childhood struggles with depression, loneliness, and alienation, his adult struggle with alcohol and drugs, and themes of spirituality, heartbreak, dissipation, and celebration.
