“People look up to me, but I’m not a happy person,” Cudi says in the trailer previewing the Amazon Prime documentary. “I felt like a fraud. That’s what drove me to escape from reality.”

He goes on to speak on the darker side of fame, painting a picture that it is not all glitz and glamour. Cudi went to rehab in 2016 for depression.

“I just had a hard time dealing with the adjustments from being Scott to being Kid Cudi,” the star shared in the documentary.
