Kid Cudi is on the pursuit of “poking the bear” that is Kanye West.
The American rapper, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, added more fuel to the ongoing fire in his feud with the “Yeezy” designer.
Over the last year, Cudi and Kanye have been at each other’s (metaphorical) throats after Kanye cut Cudi from his “Donda 2” album.
Kid Cudi Doubles Down On His Dislike For Kanye West
Kanye seemingly cut his former friend from the album because of his friendship with Kim Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
“JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, CUDI WILL NOT BE ON DONDA BECAUSE HE’S FRIENDS WITH YOU KNOW WHO,” Kanye wrote in one of his many since-deleted Instagram posts in February.
The “Day ‘n’ Nite” rapper publicly denounced his friendship with Kanye in April.
“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,” Cudi clarified on Twitter. “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 is doubling down on his dislike for Kanye and weighing in on his never-ending divorce from Kim.
Cudi Tells Kanye To “Be A Grown Man” & “Let Go” Of Kim Kardashian
Kanye’s fifth divorce lawyer recently fired the rapper as her client and ended their working relationship. So, he’s back to square one with no legal representation.
In a new cover story for September 2022 issue of Esquire, Cudi posed completely nude. All he had was a tube sock hanging off his penis.

He left the comments turned off on his Instagram post… such a shame.
Cudi let loose on Kanye urging him to be a “grown man.”
“If you can’t be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That’s not my f**king problem. You need to own up to your s**t like every man in this life has,” the 38-year-old told the publication. “I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it. I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.”
“Own Up To Your S**t”
He touched on their falling out earlier this year as well.
“I’m not one of your kids. I’m not Kim. It don’t matter if I’m friends with Pete or not friends with Pete. None of this s**t had anything to do with me,” Cudi added.
Unfortunately, the Cudi’s mental health suffered following his falling out with the “Jesus Is King” rapper. It was Kanye’s fanbase that had a negative impact on Cudi.
“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 shit about you?” he explained. “And then you got this person’s trolls sending you messages on Instagram and Twitter? All in your comments?”
He admitted “that s**t pissed me off.”
“That he had the power to f**k with me that week. That he used his power to f**k with me. That pissed me off,” Cudi explained. “You f**king with my mental health now, bro.”
If you’re curious about a potential reconciliation between the two rap stars… FAT CHANCE.
Cudi is not about surrounding himself with “wrong energies.”
He told Esquire that he has no plans to forgive Kanye or forget his actions.
“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,” he said. “It’s gonna take a mother**king miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don’t see it happening. He gon’ have to become a monk.”
