Rapper Kid Cudi Admits He Smoked Up To 20 Blunts A Day Before Rehab: ‘If I Was Awake, I Was Smoking No Matter What I Was Doing’

Kid Cudi is opening up about how his w*ed use spiraled out of control, revealing that he once smoked as many as 20 blunts daily before seeking treatment.

During the November 11 episode of his “Big Bro with Kid Cudi” podcast, the rapper spoke with Travis Barker about his former smoking habits. He admitted to traveling with “hundreds” of pre-rolled blunts stuffed inside a Louis Vuitton suitcase.

“If I was awake, I was smoking no matter what I was doing,” Cudi recalled. “I don’t want to be high… I want to like not feel this in this moment.”

Despite maintaining a successful career, Cudi said his reputation as a “prolific as a stoner” prevented others from questioning his habits.

“I’ve been able to be productive, but there was something for me that, I [was] just like, ‘Man, this feels wrong,’” he explained.

The artist eventually entered rehab in early 2025 and remained sober for three months. However, personal challenges, including a st@lker breaking into his home, contributed to him smoking again.

Now, Cudi says his consumption has dropped significantly.

“So like now like if I’m not doing anything, I’ll start my day with a joint, but like I’m not smoking nowhere near as many joints as I used to smoke,” he shared. “I’m smoking like maybe maybe four a day.”

Previously, Cudi told People that w*ed once “ruled” his life.

“A joint lasts me all day, damn near. So my relationship has changed with that in a major way. And I’m just more interested in being sober a lot more and being more present.”

Stoners, how much do you smoke a day?
