Kid Cudi had to undergo two operations after broken his foot at the 2024 Coachella Festival, and it looks like the rapper is doing much better. On Wednesday (July 10), he shared a health update with his fans via Instagram.

Cudi wrote: “(July 7 was my) first day of doing ‘toe touches.’ (I’m) putting light weight on my foot. I’m feeling much better today. I can put about 20 percent of my weight on it. As the weeks go by, I’ll add more weight and then I’ll be able to walk without crutches, baby!”

The Cleveland artist noted, “I still have a long way to go, but this was the first time I was able to walk in four months and I was so happy to see the progress. My mom filmed this video in tears haha. She was so happy to see me walking again.”

In the accompanying footage, Cudi is seen walking on crutches with the help of his physical therapist. “I’m coming back, guys. Stronger and more focused. I’ve been sitting at home in my (dimly) lit room planning my (resurgence) and soon we’ll be riding again,” he concluded.

The rapper broke his foot during Coachella‘s Sahara Tent in April while performing “Pursuit Of Happiness.” He jumped off the stage and landed awkwardly, as videos from attendees show. He was carried away by security shortly afterward so he could receive medical attention.

It was a bittersweet moment considering the “Day ‘N’ Nite” artist had only been added to the festival’s lineup a few days earlier. It was his first appearance at Coachella since 2019 and even forced him to cancel his “INSANO WORLD TOUR”, which was originally scheduled to begin in June.

Cudi recently released a new single called “DREAMS I SEE.” The record is set to appear on the soundtrack of his comic book series.
