It seems that Kid Cudi and Kanye Westare still on the outs, despite a new collaboration coming out on Friday.
The two collaborated on a song for Pusha T’s upcoming album called “It’s Almost Dry.” Many thought that it meant that the two had reconciled after their beef, but it appears that’s not the case.

“I am not cool w that man,” he added. “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”

A Look Back At Kid Cudi & Kanye West’s Public Feud
The “Don’t Look Up” actor and the “Donda” rapper have been in several collaborations over the year. In 2018, they even released a joint album called “Kids See Ghosts.” However, they recently got into a public spat earlier this year.
Kid Cudi is friends with “Saturday Night Live” comedian Pete Davidson, who is currently dating Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye let everybody know that he was cutting Cudi out of his “Donda 2” album due to his friendship with the “King of Staten Island.”
Kid Cudi responds to Kanye West saying he won’t be on ‘Donda 2’ because he’s friends with Pete Davidson.
