Kid Cudi and Kanye West have been good friends and collaborators for over a decade, with Cudi signing to Kanye’s GOOD Music back in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Over the years, the two men have supported one another and even featured in each other’s respective documentaries as well as other projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

But that all changed in February of this year, when Kanye lashed out at Cudi for his continued friendship with Pete Davidson, who was dating Kanye’s ex, Kim Kardashian, at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

In summary, Kim had filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after more than six years of marriage. The pair appeared to be amicable following the split, but it all changed when she started dating Pete nine months later.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

At the start of 2022, Kanye began to repeatedly target Kim and Pete in a series of scathing Instagram posts that he would delete soon after sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

In fact, the rapper even decapitated a model version of the Saturday Night Live<\/i> comic in the music video for his song \u201cEazy.\u201d In the same song, he threatened to \u201cbeat Pete Davidson’s ass.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cudi ended up getting caught in the crossfire when Kanye sensationally announced that he’d cut his friend’s feature on his upcoming album, 2 in frost<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kanye said that Cudi will no longer appear on the record because he’s \u201cfriends with you know who.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Cudi hit back by calling Kanye a \u201cfucking dinosaur\u201d and claiming that he didn’t want to be on the album anyway. The star then added: \u201cEveryone knows ive been the best thing about ur albums since I met u. Ima pray for u brother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Over on Twitter, he accused Kanye of \u201cposting this lie just for a look on the internet\u201d and said that the rapper \u201cain’t no friend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE<\/p>\n

Kanye responded by sharing a black-and-white throwback photo of himself, Cudi, Pete, and actor Timothee Chalamet enjoying a meal together in 2019 \u2014 with a large red cross over Pete’s face.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Kanye suggested that he felt betrayed by Cudi as he captioned the post: \u201cI just wanted my friend to have my back. The knife just goes in deeper.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In April, there was speculation that the beef had been resolved after it was revealed that Cudi would feature alongside Kanye on Pusha T’s song \u201cRock N Roll,\u201d but Cudi was keen to clarify that this was recorded before the feud.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He tweeted at the time: \u201cHey! So I know some of you heard about the song I got w Pusha. I did this song a year ago when I was still cool w Kanye. I am not cool w that man. He’s not my friend and I only cleared the song for Pusha cuz thats my guy. This is the last song u will hear me on w Kanye.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Three months later, Cudi was pelted with a water bottle while he was headlining Rolling Loud in Miami. After he was struck, Cudi threatened to leave the stage if it happened again \u2014 only for another bottle to be launched at him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Cudi dropped the mic and walked off stage as the crowd chanted Kanye’s name. Later in the festival, Kanye ended up making an appearance during Lil Durk’s set.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Kanye mocked the incident earlier this month when he took aim at Cudi. He marked Kim and Pete’s breakup by sharing a photoshopped image of a New York Times cover emblazoned with the words: \u201cSKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Underneath the headline, it read: \u201cKid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, just weeks later, Cudi has decided to open up about his and Kanye’s fallout in an interview with Esquire, where he admitted that it would take a \u201cmotherfucking miracle\u201d for them to be on good terms again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Despite initially declining to comment on the situation in the piece, the rapper went on to call Kanye out for using his \u201cpower\u201d to \u201cfuck with\u201d him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n

\n

\u201cDo 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?\u201d he began. \u201cAnd then you got this person’s trolls sending you messages on Instagram and Twitter? All in your comments? That shit pissed me off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cThat he had the power to fuck with me that week. That he used his power to fuck with me. that pissed<\/i> me off,\u201d Cudi went on. \u201cYou fucking with my mental health now, bro.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Now 38, Cudi added that he has grown to have \u201czero tolerance for the wrong energies\u201d and reflected on watching \u201cso many people throughout the years\u201d who were close to Kanye \u201cbe burned by him doing some fucked-up shit\u201d before giving him without any repercussions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cHe does it over and over,\u201d Cudi claimed, and then addressed Kanye directly as he stated: \u201cI’m not one of your kids. I’m not Kim. It don’t matter if I’m friends with Pete or not friends with Pete. None of this shit had anything to do with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Calling Kanye out for his reaction to his divorce, Cudi added: \u201cIf you can’t be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That’s not my fucking problem. You need to own up to your shit like every man in this life has. I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it. I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

Cudi was also keen to set the record straight after seeing people credit Kanye for his success, clarifying that Kanye wanted him to feature on one of his songs before he signed to GOOD Cudi reiterated: \u201cKanye West did not come and pluck me out of Applebee’s or the Bape store.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

And discussing whether their friendship could ever recover from Kanye’s behavior this year, Cudi said: \u201cWith all due respect, I’m not Drake, who’s about to take a picture with him next week and be friends again, and their beef is squashed. That’s not me. What I say, I mean. I will be done with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

\u201cIt’s gonna take a motherfucking miracle for me and that man to be friends again,\u201d he added. \u201cI don’t see it happening. He gon’ have to become a monk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

\n

But despite everything, Cudi still has love for his former pal. \u201cThe twisted thing is that I love him, but I love you so much that I can kick you the fuck out of my life and be done with your ass,\u201d he said. \u201c’Cause you are not good for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
