Cudi, 41, explained the low point occurred led him to rehab from 2015 to 2016. "I relapsed and started using again," he said. "It was like the decline getting just darker and darker and darker.

"When I relapsed and was kind of faced with this reality, like, damn, it's been six years since I've used this s---' and I thought I was past that — and I'm obviously not," said Cudi. "That was f------ me up, you know?" The rapper noted he felt like he was "going in circles" and wanted to be "off this s---" because he was older. "Like, people don't want to keep seeing you be a f---up. You got to get your life together, bro. You're not in your 20s no more. You're not just out here," he said. "It was kind of like this reality check I needed and I went and got help." Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, said he was glad to have gotten help when he did, because "something would have happened for sure." He continued, "Ever since then I haven't been like — yeah, I get down about some things, but then I get over it. Like before s--- would hit me for like weeks, something bad happens, I'm like in the house for weeks just like miserable." He added that "ever since 2016, I've been like a thousand times better." The rapper mentioned he once told his wife Lola Abecassis Sartore about an incident where he got arrested in 2010. When reading the news article about it, she laughed, and in that moment Cudi "found peace" after thinking it was "a dent in my armor" for so long. During an appearance on CBS Mornings, Cudi recalled suffering a stroke in 2016 while he was in rehab. "I was watching TV in the rehab center and my vision got crossed. Like when you cross your eyes and how it looks. It was like that, but my eyes weren't crossed," he recalled. "And I kept closing my eyes and I would open them up again and they would still be crossed. It was like that for 10 or 15 minutes and I was freaking out because I didn't know what the f--- it was.' Cudi said that he didn't notice what happened until the following mornng when his speech and movement were "slow." After a doctor's appointment and getting tested, he found out he had a stroke. "In that moment, I was nervous, I was super scared because, you know, your motor skills are all changed, and I was just hoping to God that I got my s--- back," he said. "The doctor told me, he was like, 'You're 32 years old. You'll be able to bounce back from this. If this would've happened in your 40s, we'd be having a different conversation right now, so you're lucky,' " Cudi remembered. Cudi: The Memoir, published by Simon & Schuster, is a story of "survival," "through depression, addiction, isolation, and doubt. In his own words, Scott charts the journey back to himself, offering hard-earned lessons on vulnerability, reinvention, and the courage to keep going."

Taylor Swift stuns as showgirl on new album cover
Taylor Swift was still bejeweled as she released the sparkling cover of her new album, "The Life of A Showgirl." Swift, 35, revealed the artwork for her 12th catalog, which included showstopping images of the singer dressed to the nines like one of Las Vegas' finest entertainers. The global popstar appeared to be near drowning on the cover, and included a 12-set tracklist with the new drop. "And, baby, that's show business for you," Swift captioned an Instagram post revealing the art. "New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3." The pop star also made an appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast Wednesday. Travis and his brother Jason gave fans a hint earlier Monday morning after posting their podcast would return from hiatus early for a "VERY" special guest. Only the guest's silhouette was shown at the time, but fans immediately guessed Swift. Swift's appearance on "New Heights" marks the first time the pop star has given an interview since she was named TIME's Person of the Year in 2023. At the time, Swift and Travis had just begun dating, and she spoke about their budding romance for the first time publicly. The two first sparked romance rumors in September 2023 after Swift appeared at one of Travis' NFL games with his family. Shortly before, Travis had tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at one of her concerts.
