The rapper, 40, revealed via her Instagram Story it was on Thursday, January 23 that an “incessant fan” broke into his home – and at the same time took aim at trolls joking about the incident online.
“Hey, so I want to clear this up because I see the internet running things and making jokes and this is not funny,” he wrote via post. “The person who broke into my house was a crazy fan who has been stalking me for years without my knowledge. It has been to shows, events I’ve done in the United States and abroad.”
In the lengthy caption, Kid Cudi went on to detail the extreme and terrifying lengths the stalker went to in order to get close to the rapper.
“He drove across the country and broke into my house hoping to talk to me about working together and the ideas he had,” he continued. “There is nothing funny about this. My privacy was violated, and now I have to protect myself. I don’t feel safe now. He rummaged through personal things, my fiance’s things, took a shower and ate, thinking he was actually going to have a chat with me. This is an un-ripped 34-year-old man. Not homeless.”
Kid Cudi explained that he would be improving his security in light of the incident and has now put it on the front burner when it comes to any interactions with fans moving forward.
“I’m going to take some serious security measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” the caption continued. “I’m not online to see the comments but the word came back to me that people are pointing this out and it’s not right. If I’m standoffish when you see me in public now, this is why.”
TMZ reported on January 16 that law enforcement arrested the intruder at the music star’s Los Angeles home after he was spotted on security cameras in the kitchen. Per TMZ, Kid Cudi was not home at the time.
Earlier this month, Kid Cudi was also among the thousands of inhabitants who were forced to evacuate as wildfires ravaged parts of Los Angeles.
“Hey guys, I had to leave my comb,” she wrote in an Instagram Story at the time. “I’m safe, my dears, dogs are safe. To all the folks who lost their homes, people who are dealing with this, my heart hurts for you and I want to pray for us all and I send ALL my love to you and yours. if you have to leave, get out immediately. Don’t hesitate. Be safe LA. Love you guys.”
