Kid Cudi Addresses Speculation About His Sexuality: ‘Man Can’t Even Smile and Be Happy No More’
Kid Cudi is hitting back at “homophobic and sad” trolls who constantly question his sexuality.
During a recent late-night Twitter session over the weekend, the “Man on the Moon '' emcee ranted that he can’t even do something as simple as expressing joy without his sexual orientation coming into question.
“U know what’s crazy, and really makes me question the world we live in, is when I post a picture of me smiling on ig and there's mad comments questioning my sexuality floodin my page w insults,” the 39-year-old began.
“I feel really bad for yall man. It's sad out here. Man can’t even smile and be happy no more. Smh,” he added.
In a follow-up post, the “Day ’n’ Nite” rapper wrote, “It’s like ‘oh he smiling TOO hard!! He DEF sucks a d**k!’ Its like word?? That’s what we on now??”
Seemingly speaking to his critics directly, Cudi then wrote, “Homophobic and sad and will be miserable their whole lives.”
Several fans responded to Cudi’s post, supporting his observations regarding how he’s allowed to express himself.
“It’s crazy cause you’re literally just smiling in the picture, literally nothing else,” wrote one fan. The rapper then quoted the post, adding, “Im sayin im like God DAMN cats are SUPER homophobic like REACHING for gayness everywhere they look hahah.”
“It’s just sad to see people so lame, it’s sad someone, a man, can’t show joy without there being some conversation about their [sexuality]. People been callin me gay for years, it is what it is, it just never reached this level of f**kery until now,” Cudi continued.

Cudi also recalled his childhood growing up with a father who “was super militant.” According to the star, “[his father] never liked us playin around most of the time.” He also noted that his father “was very strict” to the point “being silly was a sign of weakness to him.”
The “Pursuit of Happiness” musician shared that he vowed “when I was young to never let anyone, not even my father, dim my light.”
