Kanye West's protégé Kid Cudi was arrested on criminal charges Friday afternoon in New York. Sgt. John Butorn says Cudi was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and criminal possession of a controlled substance. TMZ claims the rapper took a 24-year-old woman's phone, slammed it to he ground and allegedly ripped her apartment door off. Cops arrived at the apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance.Cudi was still awaiting arraignment by a judge and bail had yet to be set, police said on Friday.
This is not the first time the upstart artist has had a run-in with the law. Late last year, the Cleveland native was arrested by cops in Los Angeles after a magazine shoot when residents complained about looters in the area. Cudi was held at gunpoint by police, who pressed the rapper and his entourage down to the ground in an effort to secure the premises.
One month prior, Cudi escaped charges from a fan, whom he punched in the face at one of his shows, MTV reports. Cudi grew upset after a wallet was thrown onstage and tossed the item back into the crowd. Michael Sharpe caught the wallet but threw it back because it didn't belong to him. The rapper became upset and pursued the young man and punched him repeatedly. The fan did not press charges.

Sally I typed it exactly like you have it there and nothing. So you better check out your site address and type it in correctly. Maybe you should buy some banner ads here on AOL so you can have your ads pop up all over the place.
Kayne West protege is a criminal. I guess Kayne taught him well.

Please stop giving publicity to this rubbish. Who are they?? Rappers are slowly losing popularity and young people are beginning to listen to better music. Most of these kids have their minute of ame and then disappear. Many are criminal losers anyway. Please stop wasting print on them. Who cares
