Kid Cudi Admits He Chose Cocaine As Lesser Evil Over Suicide

Kid Cudi rapped heavily about his parties and battles with substance abuse on his early albums In a new interview with "CBS Mornings," Cudi revisits his rocky memory lane ... discussing how his new book, "Cudi: The Memoir," opens with a near-death experience after a cocaine overdose. Cudi admits he had already blown up but was still in the pursuit of happiness as he coped with his newfound fame. Cocaine was his top prevention method from "blowing his brains out," as he puts it. The Cleveland native has made songs about everything from marijuana, MDMA (Ecstasy/Molly), N-N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) he's thankful to be still standing Cudi was also able to survive testifying in the Diddy trial in May despite Young Thug and his former GOOD Music associate Consequence labeling him a snitch for taking the stand.
