Hip-hop star Kid Cudi has turned his back on social networking - because he's sick of "sad" people duping his fans by using his name online.
The Day N' Nite hitmaker was an avid fan of websites including Twitter and Facebook, but he's cancelled his accounts so his followers won't be fooled by impostors.
He writes on fansite DatNewCudi.com, "I've been hearing there's a lot of fake Kid Cudi accounts on Twitter and Facebook and I want to reassure everyone that none of these r (sic) me. I will never get back on Twitter or Facebook.
"I'm getting my blog back together and that will be the only way to stay connected with me. I think it's sad as a motherf**ker people do this but, oh well, it's inevitable. Don't fall for it. If DatNewCudi.com or KidCudi.com doesn't make an announcement (and I assure you they won't), then it's some creeper lookin' for attention."
