The Kid Mero Addresses Desus Split: ‘Everybody Grows’

The Kid Mero Addresses Desus Split: “It’s just Natural Progression”

The Kid Mero finally addressed split from his Bodega Boys cohost, Desus Nice in an interview.

“It’s just natural progression,” Mero told Keith McPherson.

“It’s like we said on the podcast, ‘It’s Hollywood, baby.’ You develop strengths and things that you want to explore and do. And then things just happen naturally. It’s like Spike Jonze said on the Viceland show, ‘Everything is finite.’ What’s the corny cliche? Don’t be sad that it’s gone. Be happy that you experienced it.”

After the split, reports surfaced that Mero decided to stand by their manager, who was accused of “bullying” Showtime staff.

“Everybody grows,” Mero said.

“I’m sure D’s got his things that he wants to do. I got my things I want to do. And they’re very specific to us. We’ve been a duo for a long time. I love everything that he’s done. It’s just natural. I’ve got my life, my worldview, my things going on, and he’s got his.”

He added, “So it’s only right that, instead of just staying like, ‘We’re only going to do this one thing‘, we explore. Let’s break out. Let’s see what we do as individuals, and then form like Voltron later on. Who knows?”
