  Is Kid Cudi secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Kid Cudi is celebrating his 42nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-actor Kid Cudi (Pursuit of Happiness, Day 'n' Nite, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 42nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Cudi, a cultural icon

Born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi in Cleveland on January 30, 1984, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Cudi's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Kid Cudi hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Kid Cudi as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 42.

Happy Birthday, Kid Cudi, you're the best!
