During a recent chat with Sean Evans of First We Feast's "Hot Ones," the Grammy award-winning rapper dropped hints about the next move in his long-running career.

Cudi debuted in the rap game in the early 2000s and has since ascended to being one of the most talked about rappers in the music industry. However, having achieved most of what he has set out to do, the 38-year-old shared that it might be time for him to say goodbye to music.

"I just don't know if I wanna do music, drop albums for too much longer, you know? "I'm kind of nearing the end on all things Kid Cudi, I think," the "Day 'n' Nite" crooner hinted, per Page Six.

But before he calls it quits on his career, Cudi shared that he's "really curious to see what else" he could still do in the music industry, possibly hinting about new collaborations and new albums in the nearest future.

Elsewhere in the interview, the "How to Make It in America" star talked about the type of profession he may like to pursue when he walks away from the music industry.

"I was thinking about this — and this is like a wacky idea I had years ago," Cudi explained. "But it would be cool to, like, one day be a kindergarten teacher. And just do that for a couple years."

He then went on to give further details about the type of teacher he would be if he ever pursued such a career route in the future.

"Like, when I'm, like, 50… And I just, like, infect the youth with that freshness. Get 'em young, and then those kids will just sprinkle the freshness to the world, and I'll just be like, 'Yes! Yes!'"

Recently, Cudi dropped his eighth studio album "Entergalactic," which was initially announced back in June. The project listed several singles, including "Do What I Want," "Angel," "Ignite The Love," "In Love," and" Willing To Trust," which featured Ty Dolla $ign.

The new project also coincided with the release of the "Entergalactic" television special on Netflix, a collaboration between Cudi and the streaming platform. The special also features several songs from the album as its soundtracks.

"Wait til yall hear and see Entergalactic. U have no idea. I really wanna thank Kenya Barris, Mike Moon, Elizabeth Porter and the whole team for believing in my vision and helping bring it to life," Cudi hyped the show on Twitter back in 2021. "Everything about this show is next level. Ull see"

Since he first gained the industry's attention with his debut album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day," in 2009, Cudi has gone on to enjoy much success with several smash singles, including "Memories" with David Guetta and "The Scotts" with Travis Scott,

Alongside the several award nominations he has earned for his different works, Cudi landed a Grammy as one of the collaborators on Kanye West's single "All of the Lights," which came off the rapper's fifth studio album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

Cudi has also been a steady actor for more than ten years. He has starred in numerous films, including "Goodbye World," "Entourage," "Need for Speed," "Don't Look Up," "Bill & Ted Face the Music," and "X." The rapper is now linked to five other movies, "Crater," "Silent Night," "Teddy," "September 17th," and "Real Life," all of which are in various stages of production.
