Kid Cudi’s “INSANO” Delayed, He Drops Two New Songs & Addresses Playboi Carti Collab

by

Kid Cudi unfortunately announced that his next album, INSANO, is delayed until January, and shared a message with fans to accompany this. Of course, this will hit many die-hards as a huge disappointment, especially considering that its original release date was on September 15. However, it seems like the Cleveland creative wanted to give something special to fans to make up for it. Moreover, he did it in the best way: by sharing two tracks off the album exclusively on SoundCloud. “ILL WHAT I BLEED” and “MOST AIN’T DENNIS” are two woozy, bass-heavy, and minimal trap cuts that see him going in a slightly different direction, and he said that these are two of his favorites in his message.

“Hey fam!!” Kid Cudi’s announcement began. “Got some updates for yall. Some bad news, some good. I have to push INSANO back til January. I want to make sure that everything lines up and I give y’all the best version of myself. This album is amazing and I want to make sure I present it in the best way for y’all. Thats the bad news. I still plan on releasing the next single soon so dont even worry about that.

“The good news is, since im doin this and I know you are all feinding to get a listen of the album, im releasing 2 new jams from INSANO tn on soundcloud,” Kid Cudi continued. “Just for you. (And I promise I wont take them down). These songs are some of my favorites on the album and I really think you’ll dig em. Im sorry for the delay everyday but im a perfectionist. And things gotta be right. I love yall!!! Enjoy! -Scott.”

Mr. Rager Updates Fans On INSANO & Carti Collab

Meanwhile, Mr. Rager also let fans know that their anticipation for a previously previewed Playboi Carti collab, “Solo Dolo, Pt. IV,” is moot. “Not happenin man please yall stop askin aboit this song forget it exist in ur minds,” he responded to a fan begging for it. “Please.” While we won’t get INSANO just yet, Scott Mescudi always commits to making it up to fans in the best way possible.

Kid Cudi Speaks On Song That He Scrapped Because Fans Didn’t Like The Snippet At All

by

When you’re an artist as big, creative, and adventurous as Kid Cudi, not all your songs and albums will hit for your entire audience. In fact, he has more than a few in his discography that fans straight up flamed, although some eventually realized their worth that they didn’t understand at the time. Still, sometimes you just swing and miss, but the Cleveland native isn’t ashamed of those misses at all. Moreover, he recently responded to a fan that asked whether people recall when he uploaded a song snippet on TikTok that got so clowned on that he took it down.

“Yes I do!!” Kid Cudi responded to the Twitter user’s question with a laughing emoji. “Im not ashamed of this, I still like the song actually, just wasnt what the people were lookin for. Its all good, when INSANO drops, we’ll see whats what.” Actually, it’s a bit unclear whether the Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven artist left the song in the dust or if he just deleted the snippet and still plans to release the song. Either way, it’s a calm, fair, and understanding way of responding to negative fan feedback.

After all, this is the kind of positivity and playful attitude that Kid Cudi always embodies. For example, when he hopped on the McDonald’s Grimace shake trend and fans thought he was too old to tweet that it gave him “poopy pants,” his response was unfazed. “Soooo im suppose to like, lose my childlike spirit becuz im almost 40??” the 39-year-old tweeted. “Maybe thatll be ur sad fate my friend, but ima be a happy silly dude til im old and grey.

“I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he continued. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” On that note, stick around for more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi.

by

Kid Cudi took to Twitter on Friday (August 11) to share some heartbreaking news. The Cleveland creative shared with fans that his grandmother passed away peacefully at 101 years of age. Moreover, his supporters and regular users alike shared their sympathies, messages of support and condolences in the comments. “My grandma died today peacefully at 101,” he wrote. “She lived a long life and Ill miss her so much. Bye for now Grandma. Ill see u again one day. I love you.” We send our heartfelt condolences to Cudi and wish him well on his path of healing, grief, and his future career.

For example, his next album INSANO is expected to release sometime in September. A lot of his fanbase is ecstatic for the release, and are looking forward to seeing him in a solo studio album capacity once again. Previous from this decade and the end of the last albums, excluding Man On The Moon III, have been collaborations or soundtracks for his Netflix special Entergalactic.

Kid Cudi Mourns His Grandma

It’s sad that the 39-year-old won’t get to enjoy this release with his grandma, but we’re sure she will be with him every step of the way. Although it was in a much lighter context, and perhaps is insensitive to refer to within this piece, Kid Cudi recently shared how he sees himself aging. This was after fans clowned him for hopping on the McDonald’s Grimace shake trend. “I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he wrote on Twitter. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it.”

“Soooo im suppose to like, lose my childlike spirit becuz im almost 40??” he continued in other tweets. “Maybe thatll be ur sad fate my friend, but ima be a happy silly dude til im old and grey. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace to Scott Mescudi’s grandmother.

Kid Cudi Expresses Excitement For “UTOPIA” & “The Pink Tape”

by

Hopefully this tweet means that Mr. Rager is featured on one or both of these highly anticipated 2023 albums. Moreover, Kid Cudi recently took to the social media platform to express his excitement for Travis Scott’s UTOPIA and Lil Uzi Vert’s The Pink Tape. Both albums are rumored to drop very soon this year, with Uzi’s being teased to death these days and presumably dropping on June 30. Sure, UTOPIA is in a similar place of endless hype, but there’s less concrete details directly from La Flame’s mouth in comparison to what Baby Pluto has given us so far. While Cudi has never worked with Uzi before, the excitement should be nothing new considering recent news.

Furthermore, Kid Cudi tapped Lil Uzi Vert to perform at his upcoming Moon Man’s Landing Festival in 2023. As such, presumably the two have a good working relationship, and thus a good reason to collaborate. Maybe that’s wishful thinking, but at least that doesn’t have the pressure of a Cudi and Travis Scott link-up. After all, their potential collaborative project has been confirmed, discarded, or put on hold in the past.

Kid Cudi’s Ready For New Lil Uzi Vert & Travis Scott

Regardless, fans still desperately want the Ohio native to appear on UTOPIA considering their previous chemistry. Travis Scott might even appear on The Pink Tape, too. Nevertheless, whereas Uzi’s dropping snippets and carrying their next album on a USB, Houston’s own has his in a briefcase. With more pictures of him in the studio with the likes of Mike Dean, it seems like it’s finally time.

Meanwhile, the “PORSCHE TOPLESS” creative is busy teasing new drops of his own coming soon. In fact, all three artists are dangling their next moves in front of their fanbases, quite cruelly but also quite excitingly. It’s felt like a while since we’ve had so many big releases seemingly coming back to back. If nothing else, it’s nice to know that there are a lot of other fanbases out there that are going through the same desperation and impatience that you are- and even the artists themselves can relate. For more on Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, and Travis Scott, keep checking in with HNHH.

Kid Cudi Unveils MOTR Fashion Line At Paris Fashion Week

by

Kid Cudi just debuted his MOTR fashion line at Paris Fashion Week on Friday (January 20). Moreover, the name stands for “Members of the Rage,” pronounced “motor” for short. Previously, the 38-year-old teased the event back in December, pointing to a unisex and boundary-pushing collection on the horizon.

However, Cudi wanted to start a fashion line about eight years ago, but felt “discouraged” by the process. While working on a sci-fi animated film in 2021, he revisited the idea. After losing Off-White founder, Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director, and good friend Virgil Abloh in the same year, he felt even more compelled.

“There is no way I could have designed this collection without thinking about him every single f***ing day,” he expressed to Vogue. “Every day, it was like, ‘What would Virgil do? What decision would he make and how would he handle his team? What type of vibe would he have in the office?’ Because he was the ideal designer, he was the template. He was nice, personable, open and friendly with people on his team, helped other people and lifted other people up, gave them opportunities, left the door open behind him.”

Furthermore, according to Vogue, the “GHOST!” artist held the presentation at a Paris showroom and showcased fall and winter pieces for the year. Moreover, it included polos, puffer vests, long skirts, leather jackets, grungy knitwear and furry coats. Also, there’s accessories and footwear such as fake fur caps, oversized sneakers, and a boom-box-like shoulder bag.

“I want people to feel like they’re walking on stage when they’re wearing this brand,” the Ohio native stated, “I want them to feel the feeling I get when I perform at Coachella, I want them to feel like superstars.

“I am kind of just putting my hands in the paint and just making stuff, just making what I think is cool and trying to just follow that vision,” he continued. “‘Is this something I would wear, that my friends would wear?’”

Regardless, what did you think of Kid Cudi’s new fashion line, MOTR? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest crossovers in music and fashion.

Lupe Fiasco Says “F**k Kid Cudi For Life”

by

Even with the holiday season underway, some rap beef stayed raw this week. Lupe Fiasco answered a couple of questions on Twitter today, one of which related to his beef with Kid Cudi. In unfiltered fashion, Lupe Fiasco indicated that his beef with Kid Cudi is still as strong as ever. Cudder has yet to respond, although he had posted a prophetically anti-bad vibes message to social media just hours prior.

“We see some of the young guys saying “stop the violence” and squashing beef that had bloodshed,” a user asked Lupe. “You & Cudi possibly somewhere down the line next?” The Chicago rapper responded, “Never. F**k him 4 life.”

However, he didn’t stop there. When another fan pointed out that it seems many people don’t like the Cleveland native, Lupe elaborated. “Outside of his musical genius, fame and success. Cudi is a really sneaky punk b***h a** b***h…it’s not even that controversial or spicy of a take. His personal resume outside the spotlight is trash.”

Furthermore, the DRILL MUSIC IN ZION MC agreed with some comments doubting Cudi’s vibe. “I swear I’ve had this feeling about Cudi these last few years,” another tweeter wrote. “Outside of the music bruh gives off a weird ass vibe.”

“You can gone confirm that…on me,” Lupe said. “But if you rock with his music etc that’s cool…just know that Al Pacino ain’t really Scarface and your parents are Santa Claus.”

Finally, Lupe seemed to respond to people either disappointed with his words or defending Cudi. After all, he has a legion of fans and built up an incredible and influential career in the 2000s and 2010s. However, in Lupe’s eyes, it’s just the way he sees things.

“Dear Kids,” he wrote just an hour after his last Cudi tweet, “always call it like you see it. Respectfully, Lupe #AddValue.”

Still, for what it’s worth, the beef has been pretty one-sided. Cudi’s yet to respond, but his most recent social media post indicates that he likely won’t. Otherwise, it would mean Lupe brought him out of his peaceful mindset, which he elaborated in Instagram and Twitter posts.

What do you think of Lupe’s comments towards Cudi? Moreover, do you think this beef will ever be squashed? Let us know in the comments down below. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in rap beef, reconciliations, and everything in between.
