Any hopes of a Kids See Ghosts sequel were crushed by Canadian star Kid Cudi who, in a tweet, made it clear he and Kanye West were “not cool”.
Kid Cudi says he’s not friends with Kanye West
The tide has settled on social media since Ye took his hiatus but for Cudi, it seems, the memories of his tirade still ring fresh in his membrane.
Taking to Twitter, Cudi posted an alert to fans who may draw false conclusions when they stumble on a song he is featured alongside Mr West, on Pusha T’s upcoming album It’s Almost Dry.
The Day N Nite hitmaker made it clear the song was recorded a year ago, well before he and Ye butted heads.
“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,” Cudi wrote in a tweet.
Hey! 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 -Scott

You will remember that in February 2022, at the height of ‘SketeGate‘, West targeted Cudi in a series of Instagram posts for his ongoing friendship with Pete Davidson.
The latter, in case you did not know, has been embroiled in a steamy an highly publicised love affair with Ye’s ex-wife and mother of his four children, Kim Kardashian.
It seems, the Yeezy billionaire expected Cudi to show loyalty and cut ties with Davidson. When this did not happen, Ye took to Instagram and announced his Kids See Ghosts bandmate was pulled out of Donda 2.
“Just wanted my friend to have my back. The knife just goes in deeper,” Ye wrote at the time.
Of course, Cudi did not take this well and, in a series of tweets, he labelled Ye a dinosaur and claimed:
“Everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about your albums since I met you.”
Ye, on the other hand, has kept a low profile. Apart from a sighting or two, the 44-year-oold has yet to resurface on social media.
