Kanye West And Drake Slapped Back At Kid Cudi For Accusing Them Of Using A Team Of Writers
The picture you see above was taken several years ago. I’m pointing this out, because after what happened between Kid Cudi, Kanye West, and Drake on Twitter last night has probably killed any chance that Kid Cudi will ever be on the same stage as a smiling Kanye West ever again. Although I feel like neither of them are dabbing at tears with their hankies over that thought.
Yesterday, Kid Cudi had a bee in his bonnet about rappers who use a little professional help in the lyric department and he let it all out on Twitter. Kid went straight for the jugular and called out a couple people for pulling an Iggy Azalea and taking credit for lyrics that were maybe not written by them. Specifically, he came for Kanye West and Drake.
I need yall to know I got so many haters within the industry and these clowns know Im bout to crush their entire existance.

Anyone with even the vaguest knowledge of Kanye West knows that Kanye West doesn’t like it when people talk about Kanye West in any way other than verbally jacking off him off with your words. So Kanye did what Kanye does when Kanye’s giant ego gets bruised. Pitchfork says he publicly slapped back at Kid Cudi. Kanye stopped in the middle of a performance of “Don’t Like” during a Saint Pablo Tour stop in Tampa, FL last night to screech at Kid Cudi for daring to come for him on Twitter. Kanye also pulled a “you’re just jealous!” on him too. Someone has been studying at the Kardashian Skool of Komebacks.

In case it’s still too early for you to handle the sound of Kanye’s rantings, this is what he said:
“Kid Cudi, don’t ever mention Ye name. I birthed you. We all dealing with that emo shit all the time…Don’t ever mention Ye name. Don’t try to say who I can do songs with.You mad because I’m doing songs with Drake. Can’t nobody tell Ye who to do songs with. Respect the god. You know how many people wish they could be signed to GOOD Music, get they life changed? Never forget that. I’m so hurt. I feel so disrespected. Kid Cudi, we’re two black men in a racist world. I wore skinny jeans first. I got called names before you. Why you gotta be coming at me? This ain’t the end of the Malcolm X movie. I’m out here fighting for y’all. Creators, artists, independent thinkers. Don’t ever mention my name in a bad manner. None of y’all!”
Meanwhile, halfway across the country in Oakland, CA, Drake decided he too would publicly slap back at Kid Cudi. And he did it with a real groaner of a dad joke.

“You need to cud-iiiiiiit.” Oh Drake. I bet nobody in Drake’s entourage ever says they’re hungry because they know he’ll respond with “Nice to meet you hungry, I’m Drake!”
There’s a whole lot of he said/he said happening here. Kid Cudi says Kanye and Drake are BFFs with Casper the Friendly Ghostwriter. Kanye and Drake…didn’t exactly deny that they use a team of 30 writers. Which is a little weird, because Kanye would never miss an opportunity to remind everyone for the 1.8 millionth time that Kanye West’s brain is a genius thought factory.
Besides, there’s only one team Kanye depends on, and it’s the team of 30 blind stylists who help him pick out the tacky costumes for his My Size plastic dress-up doll.
