AceShowbiz - Kid Cudi still has "a ways to go" in his recovery from a broken foot, but he's now able to put 20 percent of his weight on the right foot, which is now in a boot. The "Day 'n' Nite" rapper, 40, took to social media on Wednesday, July 10 to share a video of him walking with the help of crutches.
"July 7th 2024, first day doing 'toe touch' puttin light weight on my foot. I'm doing much better as of today. Can put about 20% of weight on it," he tweeted. "As the weeks go by, ill add more weight and then ill be able to walk with out crutches baby! Still got a ways to go, but this was my first time walking in 4 months and I was mad happy to see the progress."
"My mom filmed this video through tears haha she was so happy to see me walk again," he continued. The rapper also vowed to come back "stronger and more focused." For the moment, he says he'll be "sitting at home in my dim lit room plotting" his resurgence.
Kid Cudi's remarkable recovery update comes after the rapper broke his foot at the Coachella Valley Music Festival in Indio, California, back in April. The devastating injury occurred as he leaped off the stage and into the crowd.
Videos captured by fans showed Cudi falling off the stage and landing awkwardly on one of his feet, prompting security personnel to swiftly intervene and carry him off for medical attention. The rapper later confirmed the injury on social media, saying it's the first time he's broken a bone.
