Personal life and family

His father and grandfather were soul and jazz musicians, and his mother is Wanda Webster. He has a sister named Jordan Webster and a brother named Joshua.

Early music career and *Rodeo*

Scott began making music as a teenager and attended the University of Texas at San Antonio before leaving college to pursue music. He moved to New York and then Los Angeles, where he met T.I. and was hired as a producer by Kanye West's GOOD Music label. He made his mainstream arrival through Kanye West's Cruel Summer compilation in 2012 as a co-producer and featured artist.

His debut EP, Owl Pharaoh, was released in 2013, followed by Days Before Rodeo in 2014. His first studio album, Rodeo, arrived in 2015 and reached number three on the charts. The album included “Antidote,” which began a run of platinum singles and earned Scott a BET Hip Hop Award in 2016. He once proposed releasing Rodeo on a USB packaged with action figures, but the label rejected the idea.

*Astroworld*, collaborations, and awards

Scott followed Rodeo with Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight in 2016, the collaborative album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho with Quavo in 2017, and Astroworld in 2018. Astroworld produced “Sicko Mode,” his first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. He performed the song during the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show and won the Top Streaming Song award at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.

His later releases include the Cactus Jack compilation JackBoys in 2019 and Utopia in 2023.

His stage name combines the name of a favorite uncle with Scott Mescudi's first name, while Kid Cudi's real name is Scott Mescudi.

Fashion and brand collaborations

Scott became known for a personal style that combines streetwear with high fashion. His sneaker partnerships have included Nike Air Force 1, Nike Air Jordan, and Helmut Lang, and his collaborations have helped establish him as a streetwear figure.
