"You ain't no friend": Kid Cudi vs Kanye West beef explained as rapper seemingly responds to 'Donda 2' snub

Kanye West seems to be picking up new beef with different people. Ye recently announced that Kid Cudi will no longer feature on Donda 2 because of his association with Pete Davidson.

On February 12, Ye called out Cudi in a handwritten note. In a press release of sorts, he informed the public that Kid Cudi will no longer appear in Donda 2. While Davidson remained unnamed, Ye insinuated that Cudi's ties to Davidson prompted this decision.

“Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who. We all speak in Billie language now.”

Ye also referred to his latest dispute with Billie Eilish, from whom he demanded an apology for a perceived shot at Travis Scott.

Cudi responded in grand style and has decided to cut all ties further. His note ended on a somber note. Cudi said:

“Too bad I don’t wanna be on ur album u f***** dinosaur hahaha. Everyone knows ive been the best thing about your albums since I met u. Ima pray for you brother.”

Cudi also elaborated on Twitter, saying the two had a conversation about the same a few weeks ago. He criticized Ye for lying to get attention online.

West and Cudi have been long-time collaborators. The latter was signed to Ye’s GOOD Music label at one time.

Kid Cudi and Pete Davidson have also been friends for a long time. Davidson attended a birthday dinner that featured Ye and Timothee Chalamet.
