Rapper and actor Kid Cudi is set to expand his creative portfolio with a new digital series titled Big Bro With Kid Cudi, with Kylie Jenner set to appear as the first guest. The podcast is scheduled to premiere on April 1 and will release new episodes weekly.
Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, will step into the persona of “Big Bro Scott” in the upcoming series. The podcast will center on conversations in which he offers guidance and perspective similar to that of an older sibling, while speaking with friends, collaborators, rising talents, and established figures.
Cudi described the idea as a place to “sit and chill with some of my homies, and we talk about life, career, things that inspire us, you know, just to put you on the cool shit,” in a show preview.
The series seeks to showcase guests’ significant experiences, pivotal moments, and personal journeys.
Kylie Jenner will make only her second podcast appearance in the first episode. Given her widespread influence and rather small involvement in long-form interview forms, her inclusion as the premiere guest has garnered attention.
When and where to watch Big Bro with Kid Cudi
Big Bro’s first episode will premiere on April 1, 2026, with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. It will be available on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other streaming services. It is being produced in collaboration with Wave Sports & Entertainment in Los Angeles.
Kid Cudi has significantly contributed to the development of the project. In addition to interviews, he recorded and produced the show’s original theme music in addition to designing the set.
Instead of using planned interviews, the series is positioned as a personality-driven style that emphasizes real discussions. John Fontanelli, head of original programming at Wave, claims that the program embodies Cudi’s “distinct point of view” and his ability to engage people through his artistic expression:
“At Wave, we build our shows around talent with a distinct point of view and a genuine connection to their audience. Cudi is a singular creative visionary known for pushing boundaries and transcending mediums. Big Bro is a continuation of his fearless pursuit of self-expression, and exactly the kind of bold, personality-led series we’re proud to champion, marking an exciting new chapter for our Originals slate.”
Adobe Acrobat has also collaborated with the series, providing an interactive extension via its PDF Spaces feature that enables viewers to delve further into each episode.
Kid Cudi has been busy with his eleventh and recent album, Free’s release in 2025, and will be gearing up for a tour in North America. Other than that, he also made appearances in movies like Happy Gilmore and Trap.
With the podcast, the rapper will be stepping into something completely different, into a world of digital content and long-form conversations, from rapping and producing to becoming a mentor-like figure.
