In recent days, a giant statue of Kid Cudi has been spotted along the East River... on a barge being pulled by a tugboat. 

EVG regular William Klayer made the first sighting this morning at 6 ... as the promotion for Kid Cudi's forthcoming record, Insano, made its way from 14th Street down toward the Williamsburg Bridge...

Per the Laughing Squid, the statue has also appeared in Paris and Long Beach, Calif.
