Kanye West and Kid Cudi are going at it on social media. The beef between the two longtime friends and collaborators started over a post from Ye, which was a photo of a handwritten note that read:
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS
CUDI WILL NOT BE ON DONDA
BECAUSE HE’S FRIENDS WITH
YOU KNOW WHO
WE ALL SPEAK IN BILLIE
LANGUAGE NOW
“You know who” in this context is likely to be Pete Davidson, who is currently dating his ex, Kim Kardashian. Cudi and Davidson are known friends/acquaintances. In the comments, Kid Cudi shows up with a particularly fiery response, saying that he had always been the best part of his albums.
Kid Cudi then took to Twitter to share his perspective on the post from Kanye:
We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE

God opens the door so the wrong people can exit ur life

Of all the beef that we see in the music industry between artists, this one is especially surprising. Kanye West and Kid Cudi go way back, their careers intertwining nearly 15 years ago. Their collaborative efforts are detailed in Kid Cudi’s 2021 documentary, A Man Named Scott. In fact, Kanye appears in the film himself to give very high praise to Kid Cudi. Cudi also attributes his comeback to his and Ye’s 2018 project, Kids See Ghosts.
Between this feud and the one he started with Billie Eilish just last week, Kanye West appears to be making more and more enemies as of recent.
