Kid Cudi Stage Dive Gone Wrong

Attempting to engage with the crowd, the "Soundtrack 2 My Life" rapper jumped off the stage but landed awkwardly, resulting in a broken foot.

In a recorded video capturing the incident, Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, navigated toward the stage's edge, swaying hazardously before plunging over the six-foot drop and abruptly landing on the floor below.

With half of his performance time left, Coachella concertgoers eagerly anticipated one more song before the rapper unexpectedly wrapped up his set.

Following his performance of the song "Day 'N' Nite," Kid Cudi found himself writhing in discomfort on the floor, prompting security personnel to rush to his side.

To end the night on a high note, his chart-topping hit "Pursuit of Happiness" played over the speakers, but many fans were unsure how or why Kid Cudi had left the stage.

"I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big."

Before injuring his foot, the "Cudi Zone" hitmaker wowed the crowd with popular songs such as "Tequila Shots," "Up Up & Away," and "Memories" alongside David Guetta.
