Kid Cudi On Justin Bieber: “He’s Just A Kid”

Kid Cudi was once notoriously known for being a wild boy and not caring what anybody had to say about his antics. Now, Justin Bieber is the new kid on the block being crucified by the media for this bad boy antics. In an interview with Esquire, Cudi broke down Bieber and his mischievous actions.

Here's what Cudi had to say:

"I still do juvenile shit here and there. But I'm not doin' no dumb shit, like pissing in mop buckets, because I got respect for people's shit, and I lived a real life. I used to work at restaurants where I mopped the floor. Justin Bieber hasn't worked a real job, ever, in his life. So he don't know what it's like to fill that mop bucket, go to work, see that motherfuckers didn't clean it the night before and you have to pour it out and put clean water in there. He didn't think about that, because he's just a kid. He ain't lived.

And I hope to God that he goes through all this shit and realizes Damn, I was wilin'. He got a couple more mistakes to make, and he need to make them. When you're in our position, you are single-handedly responsible for multiple people's livelihoods. When I was on cocaine, I would lash out at whoever was closest. I got comfortable having everything I wanted. So everybody loses their way, because it's not normal. But you have to get to that point where it's like, 'All right, man, let's grow up.'

Whatever age you are just before you're famous, that's where you stop the growth. Look at Michael Jackson, who got famous when he was really young and didn't have a childhood. His whole life he was this childlike person. I got famous when I was twenty-three, so in my mind I'm almost still the twenty-three-year-old Scott, because I've been disconnected from reality and society for the past six years. I have to relearn some things. But you can't be a bitch about it. You gotta go out and just do it."

With Bieber still being on the young side, there's still time for the pop heartthrob to find his way back.—Carl Lamarre
