Kid Cudi on why he buried the hatchet with Kanye West after feud

Kid Cudi has opened up on why he forgave Kanye West after their public feud back in 2022.In August of 2022, the ‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ singer spoke out about the vitriol he received from West – who now goes by Ye – that year, saying the ‘Donda’ rapper’s online attacks damaged his mental health and irreparably damaged their friendship.The two artists were previously close friends and collaborators but have had a tumultuous relationship since the mid-2010s.

They fell out again that year, allegedly due to Cudi’s friendship with Pete Davidson – West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s ex who she was dating at the time – which led Ye to remove Cudi’s contributions from his ‘Donda 2’ album.Speaking to Esquire at the time, Cudi said of West: “I’ve been on every one of that man’s albums.

He’s only been on two of mine. That should tell you something. And don’t think I didn’t ask.”At the time Ye shared a mocked-up New York Times headline he created imagining the death of “Skete Davidson” which included the line: “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”“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. “And then you got this person’s trolls sending you messages on Instagram and Twitter?

All in your comments?“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.
