“Drake & Josh” was undoubtedly a show for children, but a famous rapper apparently loved him.
The former members of the Nickelodeon series cast met Sunday for a discussion panel at Anaheim’s Convention Center, where one of the starting stars, Josh Peck, said that rapper Kid Cudi was “a mass fanatic”, and recalled to have learned that when he ran into a club.
“Kid Cudi was a great admirer of ‘Drake & Josh’,” Peck said during the panel of the nostalgia scam, for people. “Which I didn’t know. But I was in a club … and I see a friend, [actor] Bryan Greenberg, is in a show with Kid Cudi. I am a big fan. He said: ‘I, let me introduce you. It’s great. “
Peck remembered having tried to dissuade his friend to make the introduction, which must have occurred at the end of the 2000s or early 2010, such as Greenberg and Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, co -starring HBO “HBO to do in America” from 2010 to 2011.
“So I’m walking towards him and he says: ‘Aaaaa, I love” Drake and Josh, “Peck recalled on Sunday.” I’m like,’ I love you, Cudi boy ‘. And he says: ‘Call me Scott’. And I say: ‘I don’t want to do it.’ Then he says: ‘I, demolishes my number, we should speak.’ “
“[I] It was like, great, if this bubble becomes green tomorrow, I will not hurt, ”he added.
Peck is still better known as the animated teenager in “Drake & Josh”, who began his career in 2004, when Cudi would have been 20 years old.
But Pck is also a lifelong hip-hop fan whose encounter with CUDI naturally left it disbelief. Peck recalled that he accelerated against the possibility of never talking to him again, but quickly showed that he was wrong.
“The next day he sends me a text message such as, ‘I, what is good. What is he doing?'” Peck recalled Sunday, for people. “He says: ‘Oh, I’m about to go shopping at Rodeo Drive’. I’m like, ‘Great, I’m playing Xbox in my friend’s basement.

Peck said he was finally invited to listen to his album “and talk about ‘Drake & Josh’ for three hours.” While Cudi’s obsessives will surely try to decipher which LP, exactly, the rapper played for him, Peck is still surprised that he became friends with the rapper first.
“It makes no sense,” according to the reports, he said Sunday on stage.
Peck has publicly talked about his love for hip-hop and starred in a famous man from the Wu-Tang Method Man rapper in the acclaimed 2008 drama, acclaimed by critics, “The Wackness”, a love letter in good faith to the era of boom-bap of the 1990s.

“I love hip-hop music,” Peck told Ion Cinema in 2008. “I think he is rooted in you. And it is the music of my generation. It is poetry prepared for a rhythm … Now I really did not get into the music of generic rap, speaking of pimples and hos and bling and what not.”
“But, I feel that if you do not like the hip-hop of the old school, you are not a hip-hop fan for me,” he added.
