The former child actor reunited with his "Drake & Josh" co-stars Sunday for a panel discussion during which he recalled running into the rapper in a club.
“Drake & Josh” was certainly a children’s show, but one famous rapper apparently loved it.
Former cast members of the Nickelodeon series reunited Sunday for a panel discussion at the Anaheim Convention Center, where one of the titular stars, Josh Peck, said rapper Kid Cudi was “a massive fan” — and recalled learning that when he bumped into him at a club.
“Kid Cudi was a big fan of ‘Drake & Josh,’” Peck said during the Nostalgia Con panel, per People. “Which I didn’t know. But I was in some club … and I see a buddy, [actor] Bryan Greenberg, he’s on a show with Kid Cudi. I’m a massive fan. He was like, ‘Yo, let me introduce you. He’s great.’”
Peck recalled trying to dissuade his friend from making the introduction, which must have occurred in the late 2000s or early 2010s, as Greenberg and Cudi — whose real name is Scott Mescudi — co-starred on HBO’s “How to Make It in America” from 2010 to 2011.
“So I’m walking up to him and he goes, ‘AAAAAA, I love “Drake & Josh,”’” Peck recalled Sunday. “I’m like, ‘I love you Kid Cudi.’ And he’s like, ‘Call me Scott.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t want to.’ So he’s like, ‘Yo, take my number down, we should talk.’”
