Kid Cudi Takes To Twitter To Announce He & Kanye Still Aren’t Cool With Each Other
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Timothy Norris / Getty For the past few years Kanye West has become quite well-versed in the art of alienating fans, friends and even his rap peers, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Kid Cudi recently stated that he and Kim Kardashian’s stalker are no longer on speaking terms after he and Ye traded barbs on social media. Yesterday the Man on The Moon artist seemingly out of nowhere took to Twitter to announce that the only reason that he’s on Pusha T’s album is because he recorded his verse “a year ago when I was still cool w Kanye” but that’s is not the case these days as he is no longer “cool w that man.” Can’t say we saw that coming.

The Kids Cudi Saved
From the Renaissance Era to our Digital Age, music has remained the method that expresses the language that we cannot. And contrary to what one might think, research has shown music can help heal the heart. Its sounds release dopamine and endorphins that “can induce happy moods and relieve pain” — specifically for the mind. And contemporarily, one could argue that rapper Kid Cudi has become an ambassador for mental health awareness. The 38-year-old employed his lyrics and iconic hums to destigmatize being not okay is okay. But what if I were to say music has always carried this tune and has always been a vessel to discuss personal pains? Before we dive into the 21st century, we need to revisit the Romantic and Classical periods with another musical icon, Ludwig van Beethoven. The German cl...

Kid Cudi Is “Getting Off” Social Media “For My Mental”

The “Day N Nite” rapper took to Twitter on Saturday, March 19 to tell his almost 3 million followers that although he’ll keep his Twitter because he has to, his Instagram might be a wrap.

The Cudder just dropped a new app that sounds very promising to allow a creative new way to release music and connect with their fans.

On Sight: Kid Cudi Jumps At Reporter Who Asks Him About Kanye West [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Reaves / Getty It seems that the Kid Cudi and Kanye West back and forth is a real beef. Cudder lunged at a reporter who asked him about Yeezy last week. As per XXL Magazine, the Cleveland, Ohio native was in attendance at the recent Super Bowl game. While exiting SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., he was approached by a nervous cameraman. At first, the “Erase Me” rapper ignored the unidentified paparazzi but the follow-up question of “any words for Kanye man?” was asked, Kudi showed him his Mr. Rager side. “He was escorted by a body guard coming out. I asked him about Kanye and he just snapped it happened so fast,” the paparazzi said. “Some guy that was with him came from behind me, I thought they were going to jump me. I backed off and blend...
Kanye West Beefs With Pete Davidson & Kid Cudi On Instagram Tirade
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty Kanye West’s beef with Pete Davidson on social media has gone up another notch over the weekend, this time involving Kid Cudi by declaring he won’t be on his upcoming album. Fresh off of his recent post on Instagram targeting singer Billie Eilish for a perceived slight against Travis Scott, West has zeroed in once again on the Saturday Night Live comedian and his friend and collaborator, Kid Cudi. “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” he wrote in a post on Instagram on Saturday (February 12th), adding, “We all speak Billie language now.” The “you know who” is unmistakably a reference to Davidson, who is dating West’s estranged wife Kim Kardashian. The post, in which he tagged Karda...
Lupe Fiasco Calls Kid Cudi A “B*tch” After A Fan Refers To Him As A Goat
HipHopWired Featured Video Over the weekend, Kanye West once again took to Instagram to rain hell and fire on once again on both Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian. But this time, he roped Kid Cudi into the fray due to his friendship with the SNL comedian. With fans taking to social media to weigh in on the matter, one particular tweet stood out as it prompted a response from none other than noted Cudder rival, Lupe Fiasco, who chimed in with a bit of shade of his own. After a fan posted a comment saying “Nah Cudi a goat fym, Ye just being petty asf,” the “Battle Scars” rapper threw in his two cents with a backhanded compliment saying “Oh he a goat. But he a b*tch.” Well, at least he conceded his goat status? Related Stories The animosity between the two has been going on for years and...
44-Year-Old Kanye West Is Big Mad Kid Cudi Is Friends With Pete Davidson
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty On Saturday (Feb. 12), Kanye West found it necessary to tell the world that longtime collaborator Kid Cudi would not be appearing on DONDA 2. Apparently, the reason for Cudder’s exile is his friendship with SNL‘s Pete Davidson, aka Ye’s ex-wife’s new boyfriend. Yeezy took to IG to make the announcement because that was the most immature thing to do. “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on DONDA because he’s friends with you know who,” posted West, with most everyone figuring it was the Davidson connection that drew his ire. However, Ye deleted his message pretty much as soon Cudi responded in kind, by calling him a dinosaur, saying he’s been the best thing on his albums and relaying that he’ll be praying for him. Can you rea...
