Kid Cudi may be leaving the music industry as he opens up about the Rolling Loud Miami incident that led him to walk off stage.
Earlier this week, Cudi sat down with Zane Lowe to discuss what went down at the festival. In July, Cudi replaced Kanye West as the headliner for the event but ended his performance early due to fans throwing things at him.
“It’s supposed to be an unspoken agreement amongst artists and fans. That you’re supposed to give the utmost respect and not interfere with the performance,” Cudi said.
Cudi hinted at retiring from music for a while to put his focus on other things like his animated Netflix series ‘Entegalactic.’
“The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that,” he said. “I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi.”
He continued, “The goal for Entergalactic, I was bored of making albums. Just, doing an album, two music videos and that’s it. And I was like, ‘Man, I went into this wanting to do something epic and different.’ And now, that I’ve done that, I just… I’ve made a lot of music, man.”
Nevertheless, Cudi did not rule out making more music in the future but says he wants to venture into TV writing.
“I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do,” Cudi adds. “And I do not see me never making music. I’ll always f*ck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it. I just don’t have it in me. I don’t have the desire.”
