Kid Cudi is setting the record straight regarding claims rapper Consequence made that the Ohio native sabotaged a potential Drake and Ye (formerly Kanye West) album in the works.
Cudi hopped on Instagram on Thursday (Sept. 18) to clear the air while vehemently denying he had anything to do with a Drake-Ye album falling through or that he played a role in West’s 2016 hospitalization.
“The other day rapper Consequence made some allegations that were extremely false. The things he said were pretty f—king disturbing,” he began in the video posted to his Stories. “Let me be clear: I had nothing to do with Kanye not doing that collab album with Drake. And I damn sure had nothing to do with him being hospitalized and going to the psych ward.”
Cudi continued: “Kanye gon’ do whatever Kanye wanna do. What I look like being like, ‘Yo, I don’t want you to do this album.’ And him being like, ‘OK.’ Yeah, right, in what universe?”
Kid Cudi said he sent a cease-and-desist letter to Consequence’s team and threatened to up his litigation to hurt his pockets.
“We sent a cease-and-desist, told him to take it down and retract his statement … I need to get a retracted statement tomorrow,” he added. “Saying that is extremely false and if not, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer, period. I’ma hit you in them pockets. That little bit of change you got gonna be mine. Keep f—ing with me, s—t is not a game.”
Billboard has reached out to Consequence for comment.
Consequence eventually deleted the post and tweet subliminally aiming at Cudi: “And the reason we didn’t get this Game Changing project… Is because a Kid… Needed to see Ghosts smh.”
However, Cons appears to be doubling down on his stance as he took to IG, reposting Cudi’s video and mocking him. “Shortly I’ll kick off the ‘Apology’ Tour on X This will be as G.O.O.D. as it gets Receipts don’t Lie and neither do I,” he captioned his post.
Ye and Drake were reportedly working on a collaborative album in 2017, which was rumored to be titled Calabasas Is the New Abu Dhabi as billboards popped up in Los Angeles. The project didn’t come to fruition, and the two clashed in 2018 while Drake feuded with Pusha T.
