In a post shared by @KidCudi on X, the artist revealed that he and longtime collaborator Ye (Kanye West) have re-established personal contact and are actively working on rebuilding their friendship.
The artist shared that the communication was initiated purely on personal grounds without any immediate plans for musical collaboration. The public statement comes after years of publicized rift between the two former G.O.O.D. Music collaborators, which had previously led to public exchanges and creative separation.
Complex covered the social media revelation, quoting Cudi’s statement that “I hit him a week ago to check in on him; today, he hit me to check on me. No work talk.” Similarly, XXL Magazine reported on the friendship update, citing sources close to both artists who confirmed that “the two musicians have resumed direct personal communication.”
Echotitbits take:
Given the long creative history between these two hip-hop figures, personal reconciliation often precedes surprise studio sessions. While both state there is no immediate music planned, fans will inevitably anticipate future collaborative projects.
