Cudi, who is always speaking with his fans, revealed that Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ was originally supposed to be Man on the Moon III, but he ended up naming it something else.

I feel u becuz ur right. PPDS was originally suppose to be MOTM3 but I named it something diff. Im glad it wasnt tho becuz I needed to be in a better place whenever I did MOTM3. Im glad things worked out. I couldnt be prouder of MOTM3 and PPDS. Theyre both perfection to me https://t.co/mGoI5BAAzy

In between these stats, Cudi shared a recovery story while in rehab after the release of his “Frequency” video. It’s another showing of the artist being honest, open, and inspirational for people who have stayed sober.

I was in rehab when the frequency video came out. I shot it, then went on a 2 week cocaine run. Edited the video sneaking into the bathroom to do bumps. Then, I woke up one day and said, "Ima die if things dont change". So, I made sure things changed.

He ended his tweets by noting that Indicud is platinum, which is an album he self-produced. 

Omg INDICUD IS PLATINUM TOO WTF HAHAHAH

Indicud goin platinum is the biggest win because I produced that album all by myself.
