MAG COVERS: KID CUDI COVERS COMPLEX & TALKS DRUG USE + BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO

Kid Cudi covers the Oct./Nov. issue of Complex, set to hit stands October 5, discussing his role as a new dad, why he started using drugs and his new album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, set to be released November 9.

Kid Cudi: I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.

Kid Cudi: I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times. It took a lot for me to talk about shit like this on the album. I don’t feel like I need to explain myself to anyone besides the fans. My fans don’t believe shit until they hear me say it. And those are true Kid Cudi fans. I want them to know the story.
