Kid Cudi explained on Twitter why he doesn't stream his live shows.

After some fans complained about not being able to watch Kid Cudi's latest performance at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles through live streaming, the rapper explained on Twitter that his live shows are something that should only be experienced in person.

In response to one user, Cudi tweeted: "Because my live performance is something u should only experience in person. I dont stream performances. Sowwy."
