  • Ashley

  • http://www.smokingsection.net TC

    Stepped off…kicked off…it’s all in the feet.

  • Ashley

    maybe im over reacting but DP why are you acting like this is okay?? this is no way to treat your fans :(

  • Penny Lane

    THIS FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!! cudders what were you thinking punching a fan?!!?! now i might as well sell my ticket considering he was the reason i was going. don’t get me wrong i’m a fan of lady gaga but i live for kid cudi. worst. fucking. news.

  • Alarie

    @Ashley I think DP might be closer to Cudi’s camp than we realize, and maybe can’t just speak openly with us about it. And I’m not celebrating anyone else’s anger, but I’m glad someone else feels me.

  • http://www.dp-studios.net DP

    Guys, I know this sucks and I’m sorry I to would be mad but things happen and this is just not in our hands to decide.

    I have added all the shows that he will be performing at to the post.

  • monie

    grrr…oh well i just sold my tickets 4 the 21st which i hope he still doesnt perform on lol..but i still got him on the 23rd

  • Ashley

    fuck his other shows!

  • KFL0SSY

    Hey, we do not know the entire story, so let us not come to conclusions. If I had to assume, I would think that Kid Cudi didn’t want to disappoint his fans, but as I said before, we don’t know all the details. As DP said, things happen and it’s not the end of the world. Refund/ sell your ticket, try to see him at a solo show, or try to see him at a later date. Kid Cudi was being stretched too thin anyway and now he can focus on his loyal fans and focus on coming out with even hotter tracks for his upcoming album and I mean, don’t we all want that? Always remember: everything happens for a reason. Happy Holidays. :)

  • Desire

    Well… At least he’s got more shows coming. Cause I my main intentions of going to the Monster’s Ball Tour was to SEE Cudi.

    Cudi you suck live i saw you you where terrible and now your deserting all your fans by making them sit through lady gagas horrible singing Cudi you are a horrible person im regretting every being a fan of you

  • Debbie Dickinson

    I’m sure he’s got his reasons for steppin’ ouut. So all those who are getting exxxtra raged upp about it… i’d take a second to step back and leave it to Cudi. I mean its his choice whether he continues music AT ALL, so as fans we should support him even if he makes a decision you dont agree with. Obviously, he’s going to put a sh*t ton of work into making that new album. Yall know its going to be rad too. So chiiiiillllll, go sell your tix.

  • Debbie Dickinson

    Oh my goodness some of yall are taking this SO seriously, yall dont even know whats goin’ down in his head right now. I’m sure he’s doing it for the better, but everyone thats saying theyre done being fans… i dont see how you ever considered yourself a true fan lol.

  • Nick G.

    Don’t woory about it Kid Cudi. You are an unbelievable Musician and light years ahead of those preceding you. You’re the reason that the cage around mainstream hip-hop has been broken, and that the sky really is the limit. I think that you’ve done more than any other hip hop star has in history, and combining different elements of music is way way that we create and expand. nobody wants to be chained up.

    Make music forever Bro!
    -Nick

  • Jalisa

    Good that he’s doing the individual shows! I already got the tickets for Dec. 27 House of Blues a long time ago. :)

  • monie

    @mark

    I’m literally crying i can’t believe the night i bought tickets, it got canceled, i spent 300 dollars on these, i thought it was the best present ever, now i’m left in tears. i have no idea what to do

  • http://www.dp-studios.net DP

    It sucks to hear that! did you buy them second hand? Your best bet is to try and re-sell them even tho it may not be for what you fully paid if you did buy them second hand.

  • Caitlin

    I did buy them second hand on StubHub, I just put them on sale on craigslists.

  • http://shamicej@gmail.com MICEYJ

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    I WAS SUPER HYPED TO SEE HIM ON DEC 29 IN ATLANTA. NOW I NEED TO SELL THESE TICKETS.

    I WORKED HELLA HARD TO GET THOSE TIX, DAMN….THANKS KID CUDI

    YOUR #1 FAN……(STR8 BITCHASSNESS)

  • Ajax19

    To all the ppl that are getting worked up, it may have been out of his control. A lot of ppl are saying he was kicked off the tour due to what happened in Vancouver. But I guess we’ll never know.

    So give Cudi a break and like I said before the incident has been blown out of proportion. I was at the show and it really wasn’t a huge deal alot of ppl didn’t even know it happened.
