Kid Cudi on Kanye West: It Would Take a “Motherfucking Miracle” to Be Friends Again
While they’ve mended fences before, the Kid Cudi seems adamant that he’ll never again be friends with Kanye West after their most recent public fallout in February. In a new cover story for Esquire conducted back in June, Cudi said it would take a “motherfucking miracle” for them to patch up their relationship. After initially declining to speak about West for the interview, Cudi let off steam about being cut from Donda 2 solely due to his friendship with Kim Kardashian’s now former boyfriend Pete Davidson. “Do you know how it feels to wake up one day, look at your social media, and you’re trending because somebody’s talking some shit about you?” Cudi said. “That shit pissed me off. That he had the power to fuck with me that week. That he used his power to fuck with me.” He...
Quavo Explains Why Takeoff Wasn’t on Migos’ “Bad and Boujee”
Quavo has finally revealed the reason behind Takeoff‘s absence on the Migos hit “Bad and Boujee.” A recent teaser for the newly-revived Rap Radar podcast shows Quavo and Takeoff sitting down with hosts Elliot Wilson and Brian ‘B.Dot’ Miller. Wilson asks Takeoff why he didn’t appear on the No. 1 hit, and Quavo chimed in to explain that “it was just timing” as they had a lot to deal with it while getting music out fast. He shared, “We was just trying to get something out. We was actually pissed off because we ain’t have no music out. I think like a couple months before that whole little wave and we was going through the litigation with 300 [Entertainment], so we ended up leaking ‘Bad and Boujee’ on SoundCloud first.” Quavo added that he wasn’t even supposed to be on “Bad and Boujee” as well,...

Dr. Dre revealed that he almost turned down the chance to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show if it wasn’t for JAY-Z and Nas. In a recent appearance on the Workout the Doubt podcast, the prolific producer admitted that he was worried about being called a “sellout” for teaming up with the NFL, especially following the criticisms the league received about Colin Kaepernick. “I was absolutely concerned about that,” he said. “I actually called a couple of close friends and said, ‘Listen, I’m gonna pull out. I’m not gonna do the show. Because I don’t know if I want that smoke. I don’t know if I want the backlash after doing the show and potentially looking like a f*cking sellout or something like that.’” He added that he hopped on a phone call with Nas for 10 minutes, who managed to reason w...
