The rapper shared a cheerful photo of himself in an ambulance on Instagram after breaking his foot jumping off the stage at Coachella.

He's okay, everybody.

Rapper Kid Cudi was all smiles for concerned fans while recovering from a broken foot injury after he leaped off the stage at Coachella.


The "Pursuit of Happiness" rapper, actor, and record producer was not aware he was about to have an unforgettable experience while singing "Memories" at a show during the second weekend of the popular music festival.

Circulating videos shared on X (formerly Twitter) showed the 40-year-old Cleveland native-turned-New Yorker approaching the lip of the stage for his acrobatic attempt during a break in the song.

He wobbled a bit, caught his balance, and jumped off the stage to be on the same level with fans.

Unfortunately, the height of the stage was higher than he calculated and he painfully landed on the ground.

Security guards rushed to his side as the rapper appeared unable to get back on his feet. Through the pain he likely experienced, he still smiled for the fans like a champ.

Two perspectives of the painful leap of faith can be seen here.

Cheeky but concerned fans were reminded that he's not exactly known for excelling in athletic abilities.


There's a first for everything. Cudi admitted he's never broken a bone in his life.

But his spirit seemed intact thanks to the fans who gave their unwavering support.

"Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. just leavin the hospital," he wrote on X, adding:

"Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. 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."

Social media users assured the rapper they were there for him to lift his spirits.


Cudi also assured fans he was okay, signaling a big thumbs up while being attended to inside the ambulance.

"This was me right after the fall in the ambulance," he wrote on Monday in an Instagram post.

He continued:

"All smiles like a G. No pain coulda stopped me from feelin the joy I felt from the show."
"To everyone who came out yesterday and has been checkin in on me and sendin love, I F'KIN LOVE U!!! 🥹🙏🏾 Coachella, thats how we rage."
"U know how we do everytime. Festival Cud always a dope experience ☺️✌🏾💞"



He later posted a video of himself convalescing and said:

“This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off-stage like he’s 26, like he used to do back in the day."

He continued:

“I learned a valuable lesson: No more prancing around, jumping off stages.”

Fans continued showering their injured idol with love.





According to Rolling Stone, Cudi was a surprise addition to the roster of performers at this year's Coachella, where he debuted new tracks from his latest album, Insano.

Here's to a speedy recovery, Kid Cudi.

And remember, no more jumping.
