We hear Kid Cudi has been dropped from Lady Gaga’s hit “Monster Ball Tour” after punching a fan during a concert in Vancouver last weekend.

A statement from the star reads: “Kid Cudi has decided to take an early leave of absence from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, in order to balance his schedule surrounding the recording of his next album and acting commitments. Cudi does not want to disappoint his fans and will move forward with his individual show dates in December and throughout the month of January.”
