Kid Cudi slams jokes about stalker breaking into his home

Kid Cudi disclosed that a “crazed fan” who had been stalking him for years burglarized his Los Angeles home in early January. Reports state the intruder entered the house, ate snacks, used the bathroom, and took a shower. L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies arrested the individual, but Cudi was not at home during the incident.

Addressing the situation on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) on January 23, Cudi criticized fans and social media users who made light of the incident, writing, “I see the internets running w things and making jokes this s–t is not funny. The person that broke into my house was a crazed fan that has been stalking me for years without me knowing. He’s been to shows, events I’ve done in the states and overseas.” (via Billboard)

He added, “He drove across the country and broke into my house hoping to talk w me about collabing and ideas he had. There is nothing funny about this. My privacy was violated, and now I have to protect myself.”

Cudi also addressed speculation that the stalker who caused the disturbance was homeless. He stated he would take additional steps to ensure his family’s safety. “I’m not online to see the comments but word got back to me people are making light of this and it’s not okay. If I’m standoffish when u see me in public now, this is why,” he said.

Earlier in January, Cudi evacuated his home due to L.A. wildfires. In a separate Instagram Story, he confirmed his family and dogs were safe. He also expressed sympathy for others affected by the disaster.

Cudi’s statements highlight the seriousness of the intrusion and the need for public respect regarding such violations of privacy.
