Kanye West And Kid Cudi Reconcile After Long-Lasting Feud
Kid Cudi has reportedly reconciled with Kanye West.
The embattled buddies have officially ended their long-lasting feud after Cudi, 39, publicly stated it would "take a miracle" for them to be friends again.
On Dec. 15, TMZ posted footage of West, 46, and the Cleveland native hugging at a rave celebrating the release of West's album "Vultures." Cudi was seen smiling with open arms around West as the pair were conversing.
Cudi slammed Ye in an interview with 'Esquire' in August 2022, saying. "With 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," he contined. "It's gonna take a m***********g miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don't see it happening. He gone have to become a monk."
According to BuzzFeedNews, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from the Grammy Award winning rapper and started dating comedian and actor Pete Davidson nine months later.
Cudi is introduced into the tangle of their divorce when West, now known as Ye, announced he was going to cut Cudi's feature on his upcoming album 'Donda 2.'
"Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on 'Donda' because he's friends with you know who," he said.
"Do you know how it feels to wake up one day, look at your social media, and you're trending because somebody's talking some sh*t about you?" Cudi told 'Esquire.' He continued: "That pissed me off. You f*****g with my mental health now, bro."
The two well-respected rappers have had a long musical history together, forming the critically acclaimed supergroup "Kids See Ghost." Their eponymous album soared to top three on the US Billboard 200 in 2018 and was certified Gold by the RIAA. The duo later fizzled out due to reported unresolved issues.
Cudi broke the silence of their reconciliation during an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, revealinf how "the reason why we became friends again is because he apologized to me. And it was sincere. I was like wow, 'Kanye doesn't apologize to anyone.' "
In regards to their relationship moving forward, Cudi called West "my brother man. I know he loves me and there's just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We're like the duo that everyone loves to see."
The 'Insano' rapper went on to say their relationship goes "beyond the music."
"In the thick of it, when it was going down, I wanted to walk away... I wanted to give up. Thinking about it the past couple years, it's like this is someone who is my brother ultimately who came into my life, championed me, and did things for me that nobody else did for me early on in my career."
At this time, it's unclear whether the two will collaborate in the future.
