Since 2004, hip-hop artist Kid Cudi has sold over 1.19 million units of music.

Both of the Day N' Night singer's past LPs sold 100,000+ units in the first week. So, yesterday when Cudi's label, Universal Republic, only shipped out 55k of his new (slightly random) rock album, "WZRD's," he got super pissed. Like, that is totes not enough physical copies of the album!

In his moment of furry, Kid did what any self respecting rapper would do: he bitched on twitter.

Cudi told his followers:

What a bummer!!

Due to what sounds like some lackluster planning, Australia's Heatwave Music Festival ended Kid Cudi's headliner set halfway through!!

Those poor fans!!

Apparently the earlier shows didn't start until three hours later than expected which caused the rest of the line-up to suffer for it.

So instead of working around the headliner, the event organizers ended Kid's concert right in the middle.

Pissed the eff off, Kid then went on a violent crashing tirade, breaking lights and sound equipment!!

Of course, the fans were angry too. They began throwing water bottles everywhere and yelling demands for refunds.

Srsly, we don't condone vandalism, but we can definitely understand his frustration!! That is not cool, guys. Not cool.

Michael J. Fox joined forces with a host of comedians, musicians, filmmakers, actors and politicians on Saturday night to raise money for fighting Parkinson's disease.

"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's…" combined music and comedy to raise $4.1 million for The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research!

The evening at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel New York City was hosted by The Daily Show's John Oliver and featured comedian Mike Birbiglia with special guest Ricky Gervais!

Guests were also entertained by rapper Kid Cudi and special musical guest Joan Jet, who was able to lure Michael onto the stage for a rare Back To The Future moment where he shredded his guitar alongside the rock icon.

Sounds like a blast and we wish we were there!

Not sure why he needs four, but since it's all for charity good for you Kid.

Kid Cudi got busted at the VMAs for smoking a cigarette while Lady GaGa went up on stage to accept an award.

It's a non smoking venue.

Yeah, sure, GaGa Jo Calderone was up there smokin' his cigarette, but we're relatively sure it wasn't real. Cudi's, however, was — and he got asked to put it out by Usher.

Oops, we mean an usher, not Usher.

Our version's better!

Nobody was in trouble. Just Cudi's lungs!

We know weed makes you tired, but seriously! SNOOZE!

Check out the just-released music video for Kid CuDi's track, Marijuana, which was apparently directed, filmed, and edited by Shia LaBeouf (above)!

Inneresting aesthetic, but it's pretty boring, if you ask us!

The song is pretty cool, so we're kind of bummed they couldn't thing of a better concept for a video!

What do U think? Do U like the clip??
