Kid Cudi celebrated the launch of his latest album, INSANO, by installing massive sculptures in both Paris and Los Angeles.
The statues of Cudder, standing at an impressive 33 feet tall, featured red-purple lights emanating from his eyes and a small spotlight projecting from his mouth. The Paris installation played tracks from INSANO, which was released on Friday, January 12. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles sculpture sailed along the Long Beach shoreline, Redondo Beach, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica, and Malibu. It also “parked” at Alamitos Bay, Redondo Pier, and Malibu Pier during times when it wasn’t sailing.
INSANO is Kid Cudi’s first full-length album since 2022 and includes collaborations with DJ Drama, Travis Scott, Pharrell, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, the late XXXTentacion, and Young Thug. The album features production work from renowned artists such as Take A Day Trip, Dot da Genius, WondaGurl, BNYX, Clams Casino, Keyon Christ, Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E., and more. Adding a finishing touch, KAWS provided the album artwork using his 2019 painting titled “IT TAKES WHAT IT NEEDS.”
