Kid Cudi is on the cover of the October/November edition of Complex Magazine. The eclectic  rapper gave his thoughts on his addiction to cocaine…yep, the nose candy…. and made some negative comments towards rapper Wale, but we will save that for later this week.

Complex: How heavy did the drug use get?

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.

Did you ever feel like you had a problem?

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
