Kanye West isn’t backing down from his decision to remove Kid Cudi from his forthcoming album, Donda 2. The 44-year-old rapper and fashion mogul, who now goes by Ye, took to Instagram on Sunday (Feb. 13) to expand on his cryptic announcement from the prior day about why his longtime collaborator Cudi won’t be appearing on the sequel to last year’s Billboard 200-topping Donda project. “I’M VERY COMMUNITY ORIENTED I LOVE MY FRIENDS I LOVE MY FAMILY THE REASON I ASKED CUDI TO AT THE LEAST SPEAK TO SKETE IS BECAUSE FOR YEARS CUDI ALWAYS MADE IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS ME AND HIM AGAINST EVERYONE NOW THAT IM FIGHTING FOR MY FAMILY HE NOT BY MY SIDE THIS IS BIGGER THAN MUSIC,” Ye wrote in all caps, referencing Cudi’s friendship with Pete Davidson, who is dating Ye’s estranged wife Kim Kardashian.

ANVIL’s New Album Is ‘Mixed And Done’
ANVIL guitarist/vocalist Steve “Lips” Kudlow spoke to Canada’s The Metal Voice about the band’s upcoming follow-up to 2020’s “Legal At Last” LP. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The new album is completed and mixed and done. What can I say? I can’t wait till it comes out. “The whole thing is a bit weird and odd because we put out an album and then never got to tour for it,” he continued, referencing the aforementioned “Legal At Last”. “So it’s, like, where is the tour for the last album already? So, what is the last album, just spinning our wheels? What was that? What happened? Now I’m in a position where I’m putting out another album, and I’m gonna have to actually try...
LZZY HALE Explains How Her Interactions With HALESTORM Fans Inspired Lyrics For ‘Back From The Dead’ Album
In a new interview with Terrie Carr of the Morristown, New Jersey radio station 105.5 WDHA, HALESTORM frontwoman Lzzy Hale spoke about how she gets inspiration for her lyrics through her interactions with the band’s loyal fanbase. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “There was a lot of things personally that saved me [during the pandemic], and one of them was our community that we have with our fans. I know everybody says this, but we absolutely have the best fans in the world. I stalk them even when I’m not responding, and, obviously, they tag me in everything. And any given moment, I will go online or any of my socials, and somebody will say, ‘Hey, I’m kind of struggling today’ or ‘I’m having a dark time,’ and everybody wil...

During an appearance on the “In The Trenches With Ryan Roxie” video podcast, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner confirmed that he has used some of the coronavirus downtime to work on a solo project. He explained (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I haven’t really spoken much about it publicly, but there is something I’ve kind of been [putting] together during the COVID period. I mean, I know we’re still going through it but there’s been a lot of downtime.

DERRICK GREEN Plays First SEPULTURA Concert In Two Years With Broken Foot (Video)
Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA played their first show in two years last night (Saturday, February 12) at Circo Voador in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The concert was also notable for the fact that singer Derrick Green wore a brace on his left leg after apparently breaking his foot not long ago. A short time after the gig, Green shared a few pictures of the concert on his Instagram and he included the following message: “Incredible feeling to play our first @sepultura show again after two years, even with a broken foot!! Muito obrigado Rio de Janeiro!! #sepultura #riodejaneiro #circovoador #metal #grateful”. SEPULTURA‘s current lineup comprises Green, guitarist Andreas Kisser, bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr. and drummer Eloy Casagrande. Cleveland native Green went from f...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Universal Pictures “What’s a bad miracle?,” asks Daniel Kaluuya’s character in the trailer for Jordan Peele’s latest horror flick, NOPE. Yeah, we’re still sold on this one.

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...
