Note
  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Kid Cudi earned his first three Grammy Award nominations in 2010, two for his single "Day 'n' Nite" and one for the collaboration "Make Her Say." In 2012, he won two Grammy Awards for "All of the Lights," a collaboration with Kanye West, Rihanna and Fergie. The release of Cudi's debut album and its lead single "Day 'n' Nite, led to several more honors, including an MTV Video Music Award (VMA). During 2010, Cudi won a Beatport Music Award, as well as an Urban Music Award. In 2011, he was nominated for an additional four VMAs, which he shared with West and Rihanna, and has been nominated for a total of twenty accolades.
