It’s being reported that G.O.O.D Music signee and young rapper-of-the-moment Kid Cudi was arrested in Phoenix over a sneaker battle with Reebok. As Baller Status reports, Cudi got into an altercation with Reebok employees after he refused to wear Reebok sneakers on stage in favor of wearing Jordans. The sneak-tiff got so out of hand that Police were brought in and had to taser Cudi to calm him down. More on the story as it develops.
UPDATE: Cudi says he was tasered but not arrested and the Reeboks they made him wear were the Orchard Street pack. He claims it wasn’t over wearing Jordans.

Co-sign spirit equality. Man, you “entertainment bloggers” are on some Fixed News shit with this.
When they taze your ass, I hope someone doesn’t say you deserved it, because I’ll bet that’s not how you’ll see it.
