In a recent Instagram post, Kid Cudi shared a heartfelt response to the ongoing suffering he’s been witnessing in the news. “The things I’ve been seeing in the news have been breaking my heart,” he wrote. “I can’t watch what’s happening in the world and remain silent. I can’t imagine the pain people are feeling. Seeing their entire neighborhoods bombed, losing generations of family members, parents crying over their children’s lifeless bodies, communities turning into mass graves, people digging through the rubble of their homes in hopes of finding remains of their loved ones—a pain no one should have to go through.”

Acknowledging that his views might not be universally accepted, Cudi stood firm in his belief that speaking out was necessary. “I know some people are gonna disagree with me, but that’s ok. As a Black man, I stand against all forms of oppression.”

Cudi made it clear that his support for Palestine does not equate to supporting violence against Jewish people. “And it goes without saying, I love my Jewish brothers and sisters and condemn any violence towards them. Your losses are unimaginable and you are all in my prayers.”

He continued by emphasizing the human rights aspect of his stance: “But let’s be clear, supporting Palestinian liberation is not antisemitic, it’s human. Palestinians deserve their freedom. This isn’t politics, these are real lives. And I’m just a dude who gives a fuck about humanity.”

In closing, Cudi expressed solidarity with those affected by the conflict and called for an end to the violence. “I stand with the people of Palestine as they demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the ongoing genocide. My heart goes out to all my brothers and sisters of all faiths and backgrounds who are suffering. Free Palestine!!”

Kid Cudi’s powerful words reflect a deep compassion for those suffering and a strong commitment to justice and human rights.
