Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Kid Cudi (born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi) is a Grammy Award winning American recording artist from Shaker Heights, Ohio.[1][2] After the release of his breakout mixtape A Kid Named Cudi in July 2008, he soon became the protégé of fellow rapper and music producer Kanye West.[1] He released two studio albums on the Dream On, GOOD Music and Universal Motown record labels: Man on the Moon: The End of Day (2009) and Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (2010).[2][3][4] Known as Kid Mesc, Cudi was nominated for Best New Artist in 2009.

In 2012, he won two Grammy Awards for "All of the Lights," a collaboration with Kanye West, Rihanna and Fergie.
