Kanye Announces Kid Cudi Won’t Be Featured On ‘DONDA 2’

Back in February, Ye was extra active on the ‘gram. In one of his many posts, he called out Kid Cudi for allegedly being friends with Pete Davidson. You may recall Kanye launched a series of posts targeting his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new bae Pete, among plenty other targets, since early 2022. Ye launched such posts on a daily, eventually leading to a 24-hour Instagram ban that’s kept him off the app much longer.

At the time, Ye shared a photographed notepad, which said Cudi won’t be featured on his once highly-anticipated Donda 2.

 

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS CUDI WILL NOT BE ON DONDA BECAUSE HES FRIENDS WITH YOU KNOW WHO WE ALL SPEAK IN BILLE LANGUAGE NOW,” Kanye wrote.

Cudi wasted no time responding in Kanye’s comment section.

Too bad I dont wanna be on ur album u f***in dinosaur hahahaha everyone knows ive been the best thing about ur albums since I met u. Ima pray u for brother,” Kid Cudi wrote.

 

Fired up, Kid Cudi also let off some thoughts on the situation via Twitter at the time. He labeled Kanye “wack for flipping the script” after a weeks-old talk about his ties with Pete. His Twitter likes also sent additional shots, with Cudi cosigning comments like “Kanye so weird for this” and “this is kinda heartbreaking knowing how much Cudi has been there for Ye.”

 

 

Kanye and Kid Cudi have a long history that includes Cudi being signed to Ye’s GOOD Music label. But, the former pals have also joined forces on over 20 songs, includingGhost Town, Reborn, Fire, Feel The Love, Guilt Trip and Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1.
