Kid Cudi Held At Gun Point By Police Just Days After Leaving Lady Gaga Tour!

As if Kid Cudi didn't have enought to deal with this month...he was held at gunpoint by police in Los Angeles Tuesday (Dec. 21), in a case of mistaken identity! (Wow) This happens just days after he left his opening slot on Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour.

Let's rewind real quick, Cudi punched a fan in the face one week ago, which he then left the Lady Gaga tour.
His people say he left for schedule conflicts but everyone else pretty much speculates that it was definitely because he punched that fun! (Click here to get those details & hear what the fan had to say about getting punched!)

Ok so let's bring it back to what happened yesterday, Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, was in the midst of a photo shoot for NME magazine when he and his entourage were pulled over on Fairfax Avenue by police offers in search of suspected robbers.

NME reporter Emily Mackay later blogged about the incident, describing a dramatic scene that included "an angry, shaven-headed American policeman screaming, 'KEEP YOUR TWO HANDS VISIBLE' while pointing a gun at the back your head through the rear window."

According to reports, Cudi and his entourage were ordered to exit three vehicles and kneel on the ground, where they were handcuffed. Police soon released the group, however, upon realizing that they had detained the wrong party.

"Such is life, apparently, when you roll with Kid Cudi and his crew," added Mackay.

Police then ordered everyone out of the car and forced the passengers to the ground on their knees, reportedly responding to a call from a neighbor in the area saying that a group of men were looting.

Writer Emily Mackay was one of those on the scene, and according to her blog post about the incident, she, Cudi and others were handcuffed. She said that there were "10 or so armed police officers with an alarming amount of weaponry pointed in our direction as a helicopter circles overhead."

The rapper was released moments later, and the officer in charge claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. Cudi appeared "jovial" after the incident, Mackay said.

"Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch," Cudi later told NME about the ordeal. "I'm just happy to be back. I'm a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable."

A representative for the LAPD had no comment when contacted by MTV News. Representatives for Cudi were not available as of press time. The rapper's manager, Plain Pat, tweeted about the incident, assuring fans that Cudi was not arrested.

Kid Cudi Kicked Off Lady Gaga Tour For Punching A Fan! The Victim Speaks! [VIDEO INCLUDED]

TMZ reported that Kid Cudi has been officially dropped from the Lady Gaga tour in the wake of a brutal fan-punching incident.
Sources at Interscope Records confirm the rapper is "no longer" with the tour -- but wouldn't say if the decision had anything to do with YouTube footage showing Cudi punching fans in the front row of a concert in Vancouver this past weekend.


We're told Jason Derulo, who sings "Whatcha Say," will move up from his spot as Gaga's opening act to fill Cudi's spot ... no word on who will fill-in Derulo's. (lol)

No comment from Lady Gaga's camp.

Lady Gaga Was Once Scared Of Sex???

You would think looking at this picture and her outlandish style statement that Lady Gaga has no problem expressing her sexual side. Well, Lady Gaga has claimed that she was once phobic to sex and seemed to have no confidence with men.

The 23-year-old singer, who is currently single admits the songs on her new album 'The Fame Monster' were written at a time when she was experiencing a phobia of intimacy, MTV.com reported.

"I'm just really happy being single at the moment, working on my music and travelling. I think there is a time for that but it's just not now for me. And anyway, I have no confidence when it comes to men," Gaga said.

"Each song represents a different monster I have encountered on my travels; a fear of sex, a fear of alcohol, a fear of love, a fear of death, it goes on...," she added.

"I'm so proud of my new music but I feel during all this time, while my dad was having open heart surgery - it was a really difficult time for me personally and that is what this album is all about," Gaga said.

Beyonce & Lady Gaga Collab w/ Song + Video! Gaga Tour Dates Revealed...

(What a unique pair huh? LOL)

Looks like history may be about to be made! Beyonce and Lady Gaga are teaming up on Beyonce’s latest single, “Video Phone.” Besides the photo below we also have confirmation by a spokesperson for the director, Hype Williams to MTV.

A source claimed that Lady Gaga is now featured on the previously solo song by adding vocals to the verses and an extra verse! The video is said to feature “lots of choreography” and “more dancers than the two girls she’s always with.” The video was filmed at Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood last weekend.

"Lady GaGa and Beyonce were working on the video together at a studio in NYC. Everything on the set was being kept very hush-hush, and security was extremely tight," a source said earlier this week. "Beyonce wears a feathered dress. And of course Lady Gaga wears something wild. The fashion is sick and insane."

I’m quite excited for the new video! It’ll be interesting to see how these two ladies work with one another, especially since they have different singing styles and aesthetic. Can’t wait to see the product!

In related news, The Monster Ball starring Lady GaGa tour dates are revealed.
