Kid Cudi recently auctioned off a few of his personal items for a fortune.
According to HipHopDX, the "Pursuit of Happiness" rapper offered clothes, sneakers, jewelry, and artwork as part of his exclusive collection at Pharrell Williams's latest digital auction, which concluded on March 25. His items sold for a whopping $850,000, with his "custom Jacob & Co 14-karat N.E.R.D. pendant" bringing in the largest amount.
The pendant initially belonged to Pharrell, but Cudi, born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, purchased it at a previous auction. The beloved item sold for nearly $250,000!
The "Day 'n' Nite" hitmaker also auctioned off his Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers, designed by the late, great Virgil Abloh, among 74 other items. The sneakers sold for $82,500. Pharrell's auction house, Joopiter, shared a post regarding The Kid Cudi Collection, perfectly titled "On Another Planet," in the days leading up to the highly-anticipated auction, depicting an array of colorful clothes, shoes, and sparkling jewelry. A few of Cudi's chains sold for over $40,000 and are now in the hands of fans with "deep pockets," per HipHopDX.
The star also auctioned off his vintage t-shirt collection, selling "original" threads from the likes of Eminem, Nirvana, and Micheal Jackson, to name a few. Cudi spoke to GQ about the auction a few weeks ago, revealing that his collection spanned his entire career.
"Joopiter has been wanting to do something with me for a while, so I recently reached out to the team and let them know I had some stuff I was willing to part with, things I’ve collected throughout my career."
