Kid Cudi is sharing how he explained the criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs to his teenage daughter.
For the premiere episode of his new podcast, Big Bro with Kid Cudi, the 42-year-old rapper spoke with guest Kylie Jenner about the challenges of raising children in the public eye and protecting them from circumstances out of their control.
“I was all in the news with the Diddy trial, and all that shit was going crazy,” Cudi said near the 39-minute mark in the video linked above. “During that moment, I know my daughter saw something online. Like, I know she saw that shit, and I can't protect her from that.”
Cudi’s daughter Vada was 15 years old when her father testified against Diddy, who was convicted in the high-profile case last year.
“It's when something like that happens and it's like huge news and everybody's talking about it,” the musician continued.
He said, “I think we had a conversation about it … I definitely should have that conversation because she is the type where she will see something and then not say anything to me because she feels like it's out of line.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, Jenner, 28, talked about her 8-year-old daughter Stormi becoming more aware of the Kardashians’ overall fame.
“I think it's super—maybe normal to them,” she said. “They see people come up to me and ask me for photos. My son [Aire] not so much, my daughter for sure now. She asked me the other day, 'Why are we famous? Why is our whole family famous?' I'm like, 'Actually, let me try to answer!’"
Jenner recalled telling her daughter that her family “started a television show when I was a year older than you,” and watched the first episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians with Stormi.
“I was so emotional after. Like, I don't know what hit me, but I was weeping in my bed,” she shared. “Like I don't know why that happened to me. I was just like maybe it's like my daughter being the same age as I was. And just seeing my family and … just feeling so grateful for all that we've built but also mourning like that closeness when we were all kind of living under the same roof. It was very emotional. I didn't know it was going to hit me like that.”
