kid cudi arrested tazed nba all star weekend Kid Cudi Tazed at NBA All Star Weekend

Reports note that Hypebeast favorite Kid Cudi was apparently involved in an altercation over NBA’s All-Star weekend. Set to perform, the rising star apparently got into a shouting match with Reebok associates regarding his refusal to wear Reebok in favor of Air Jordans. Subsequently, police were call in and the altercation escalated to the point in which police stepped in and tazed Kid Cudi.

UPDATE: Some sources say that the altercation wasn’t over Jordans with no disclosure over what really happened at the present moment. Check out Kid Cudi’s blog for further information from the man himself.

    really? cats need to be aware of the bigger picture yo. Performing in front of thousands if not millions of people that could potentially become fans and buy your records or come to your shows is more important than rocking j’s. I’d be like, ok, throw me some dee’s and i’m good. No biggie. A) i’m getting paid and B) I’m getting publicity. I’d be willing to make a compromise and wear some reeboks for 10 minutes. Kid cudi is a retard…

    Haha, respect for not being a poser. But still… he’d get alot more credit if he wasn’t doing it so he could wear Jordans.
