" Kid Cudi has confessed that he &amp;quot;broke down&amp;quot; upon hearing of the death of one of his fans.  The rapper heard about 18-year-old Ben Breedlove after the teen posted a pair of viral YouTube videos about living with a serious heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.  In the videos, Breedlove names Cudi as his favourite artist and also revealed that he &amp;quot;cheated death&amp;quot; three times after experiencing complications from the disorder. He later passed away on Christmas Day after suffering from a fatal heart attack.       Kid Cudi wrote on his official blog: &amp;quot;I am so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart. I broke down, I am to (sic) tears because I hate how life is so unfair.  &amp;quot;This has really touched my heart in a way I cant describe, this is why I do what I do. Why I write my life, and why I love you all so much. Life is really f**ked up sometimes, but I know Ben is at Peace, and I hope he gets a chance to sit and talk with my Dad. We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me. To Ben&amp;#039;s family, you raised a real hero, he&amp;#039;s definately mine. You have my love.&amp;quot; Kid Cudi has previously said that he considers his fans to be his friends as they are responsible for his successful career.  &amp;amp;gt; Kid Cudi &amp;#039;wants to take acting to next level&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
