Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s once fruitful relationship has deteriorated in recent years. Cudi left Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label in 2013 and soon after, he blasted his former boss for using his vocals on Yeezus without permission. While the two did reunite earlier this year on The Life of Pablo, on Wednesday Cudi publicly called out Kanye during an epic Twitter tirade.
“I need yall to know I got so many haters within the industry and these clowns know Im bout to crush their entire existance,” Cudi wrote. “Everyone thinks they’re soooo great. Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them.” He went on to single out Kanye and Drake, writing, “My tweets apply to who they apply. Ye, Drake, whoever. These niggas dont give a fuck about me. And they aint fuckin with me.”
Kanye West abruptly stopped in the middle of his concert at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. on Wednesday night to respond to Kid Cudi’s comments from earlier in the day. While performing “I Don’t Like,” Kanye stopped to speak on Cudi’s earlier tweet storm and its relation to his much-talked-about upcoming Drake collaborations.
“Kid Cudi, don’t ever mention ‘Ye name. I birthed you. We all dealing with that emo shit all the time; me, Pat, Don C. Don’t ever mention ‘Ye name. Don’t try to say who I can do songs with. You mad ’cause I’m doing songs with Drake. Ain’t nobody telling ‘Ye who to do songs with. Respect the God!”
That wasn’t all Kanye had to say:
“You know how many people wish they could be signed to G.O.O.D. 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!”
Meanwhile, Drake, the assumed target of a tweet by Cudi that read, “Im the one they worry about cause they know I dont give a fuck about the corny shit they do,” went ahead and embraced the corn syrup-y goodness at his own concert. Referencing the O.T. Genesis track “Cut It,” Drake went for the pun, saying, “Boy, you getting way too high, you need to Cud-iiiit.” He also reportedly told the crowd: “I heard boys were talking down today. Shout-out to my brother Kanye West. We both got sold out shows.”
