Coachella 2024: Kid Cudi ends performance to go to the hospital

The “Pursuit of Happiness” singer got a foot injury while performing his hit “Memories”.

Rapper Kid Cudi suffered an injury and had to exit the stage during his Coachella performance on Sunday. The 40-year-old entertainer had leaped off the stage to engage with fans, but this action led to him getting hurt.

Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, was an unexpected addition to the festival's second weekend lineup, captivating a large audience at the Sahara tent. However, towards the end of his 40-minute set, while performing his popular track "Memories," he tried to jump down from the stage and hurt his foot in the process.

After a clumsy fall, Cudi winced in pain and had to be helped off by two individuals since he couldn't put any weight on his leg. Later, he updated concerned fans on social media, revealing that he had broken his foot and was leaving the hospital.
