Okay, so I wasn’t going to cover this, but since we’ve gotten so many questions today about the situation, I guess I’m forced to write this. Anyways, I’m sure you all remember, Kid Cudi went on an extensive Twitter rant about the music industry yesterday, calling out people like Drake, Kanye West, SuperDuperKyle and many others.
Here’s what Cudder had to say:
I need yall to know I got so many haters within the industry and these clowns know Im bout to crush their entire existance.

Niggas keep you close when they see how powerful you are by yourself. When they see your greatness. Out of fear

And as you guessed, this caused an uproar between the fanbases, seeing it trend on Twitter for over 8 hours. And as expected Kanye West responded to Cudder. While out in Tampa, Florida for his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye had a few words for Mr. Cudi: “You know how many people wish they could be signed to Good Music, get they life changed? Have that opportunity? Never forget that. I’m so hurt. I feel so disrespected. Kid Cudi, we’re two black men in a racist world. I wore skinny jeans first. I got called names before you, bruh. Why y’all got to come at me? This ain’t the end of the Malcolm X movie. I’m out here fighting for y’all: creatives, artists, independent thinkers. Don’t never mention my name in a bad manner. None of y’all!” Check out the clip below.
