Kid Cudi has officially revealed the release date for his highly anticipated memoir, a project he has been diligently working on since at least 2022. The Cleveland-born artist took to X on December 16 to announce that his book, titled Cudi: The Memoir, will be available to the public on August 5, 2025. Although the cover has yet to be unveiled, fans can already pre-order the memoir, which is being published by Simon & Schuster.
In a subsequent post, Cudi expressed his belief that his memoir will have a profound impact on its readers. He shared, “As I’m reading through this first draft, making tweaks and adjustments, I’m halfway through and I know this book is gonna change so many people’s lives and inspire.” He emphasized the uniqueness and authenticity of his story, describing it as “raw” and “truly one of a kind.” Cudi even likened the narrative to a fairy tale, noting its incredible nature.
The musician first announced his intention to write an autobiography in September 2022, indicating that he would delve into his challenging early years. Having lost his father to cancer at the tender age of 11, Cudi’s emotionally honest music has resonated deeply with fans, earning him a loyal following. He admitted feeling apprehensive about sharing his personal journey, stating, “Started writing the first chapter of my book. It’s coming together really well. Telling my story in my own words is scary, but I feel like it needs to be told.”
In December of that year, he shared the initial title of the book, which has since been slightly modified. “My memoir is called CUDI By Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi,” he wrote at the time, expressing his hope to release it around September 2023. Reflecting on his life experiences, he noted how discussing certain moments has brought him peace.
Cudi conveyed that the memoir captures various aspects of his life, including the joy, chaos, and darkness he has encountered. He expressed a desire for the book to inspire readers to live life to the fullest, pursue their dreams, and maintain a strong connection with God. “My hope is that after you read this, you’ll have the confidence to bet on yourself, strive to live as a better human, and spread love,” he added.
