KiD CuDi

Rapper KiD CuDi was born and raised in Ohio but he moved to Brooklyn to live with his uncle to pursue a career in music. Born to a Black mother and a father who was both Black and Mexican, CuDi, real name Scott Mescudi, was just 11 years old when his father passed away from cancer. This had a huge impact on his personality and then his music. Working at the BAPE clothing store, his life would forever change after he forgot to take the anti-theft device off of a young Kanye West’s jacket. Being evicted from his uncle’s place inspired his hit song “Day ‘n’ Nite.”
