Kid Cudi has found forever happiness in his role as a father to his daughter Vada.
In March 2010, the "Pursuit of Happiness" singer, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, welcomed his daughter Vada with Jacqueline Munyasya.
While she has mostly stayed out of the spotlight over the years, Vada has made the occasional appearance to support her dad, including attending his July 2025 wedding, where he married fashion designer Lola Abecassis Sartore.
Vada, who Cudi described in a September 2022 Esquire cover story interview as "the coolest, bravest person," is also a fan of theater with aspirations of becoming a singer like her dad. He also explained in the interview that he welcomes the uncertainty of not knowing what Vada's future will look like.
"She might not have it all figured out. But once she's out in the world and she's in college, whatever she chooses to do, she'll have some living under her belt. She'll be out in the world on her own. And she can maybe understand some things," Cudi shared. "It might take her some time."
Here's everything to know about Kid Cudi's daughter, Vada.
She was born in March 2010

Although Vada enjoys spending time with her famous dad, she isn't always thrilled with what happens when they're in public together.
Cudi explained in his September 2022 Esquire interview that while in Cleveland with his daughter, he stepped away to take photos with two fans. After he got back in the car, he asked how the interaction made her feel.
"Sad," Vada told Cudi, "because I want it to just be us."
He then asked fans to go along with his daughter's wish to spend alone time with her dad when they are in public places.
"Let this be an APB for everybody out there," he said. "Please, if you see me with my daughter, let us have our moment. This is Vada asking, not me."
She has a secret language with Cudi
Cudi and Vada have such a close bond that they've even developed their own language together.
"But you were telling me backstage, you go, 'Yeah, I think I actually created a different language as well with my daughter,' " Jimmy Fallon recalled while interviewing Cudi on The Tonight Show in September 2022. "You showed me this. And it's very interesting."
"It's just starting really," he said, explaining that their shared language is "kind of like Road Runner."
Cudi added that he sends Vada "silly messages all the time," including voice notes of strange noises "for no reason."

"Fathers love 💕 on my dude, the legend @kidcudi," Dr. Woo captioned a photo of his work on Instagram.

While Vada is still enjoying her teen years for now, Cudi shared on the Hawk vs Wolf podcast in November 2024 that she's already expressed interest in following in her dad's footsteps in the future, including writing music and acting.
"She's really curious now, and seeing that there is a path to these things, you can be a singer if you want, you can be an actor," he explained. "It's such a beautiful thing when you see your kids want to do what you do."
Tony Hawk chimed in, "Or find their passion, whatever it is."
"Yeah, it's something else when it's like they want to walk down the same path that you did," Cudi added.
Kid Cudi introduced her to horror movies
Starting when Vada was young, Cudi began introducing her to the things he enjoys, like horror movies.
During a March 2022 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he told the late-night host, "You see, Seth, when I had my child, I thought about all the things I could mold her to be."
"I said, 'Okay, I think you're old enough to watch something.' I think It came out at that time," he continued. "She's just like, 'Why they following that clown?' ... She has these commentaries during the movies, and she says the realest stuff. It's like, 'I feel you, kid.' "
In addition to getting her interested in horror movies, Cudi also hoped that she would express interest in being a gamer because he wanted to play Call of Duty: Zombies with someone.
He named a pair of shoes after her
