“Oh how u all will feast again very soon.” That was Kid Cudi on X (Twitter) back in late January after not being able to get his “deluxe” of INSANO out on time. Well, that time has come as the Cleveland native is here on February 23 to deliver INSANO (NITRO MEGA). As he initially promised, fans now have nearly 40 new tracks to indulge in throughout the rest of the year and hopefully beyond.
After NITRO MEGA‘s predecessor got slightly unfavorable reviews from critics and fans, maybe this will make fans a little happier. On this sequel of sorts, Cudi is going back to his experimentative roots. While it is still filled with bangers, it is not nearly as heavy on the trap/psychedelic sounds. Just listen to “ELECTROWAVE BABY 2.0” and you will see what we mean.
There are still some tracks that will most likely still up controversy such as “WILLIS” for example. But again, there are still some nice highlights on INSANO (NITRO MEGA). One of them has to be “HUMAN MADE.” It appears that Tame Impala’s “One More Hour” is the song to sample in 2024 so far if you want pure fireworks. Be sure to check out the record with the links to find out for yourself which album is superior.

Nearly one month ago to the day, Cleveland multi-talent Kid Cudi put out his long-awaited album INSANO. It saw the legend go full trap/rage rap and it did not land for everyone. Cudi even got into a little bit of a debate with a popular music reviewer on X about his opinion on the record. Additionally, his fan base also tagged in him in the less than favorable 4.6 score from Pitchfork. To that he simply told them to not waste their time with reviews and digest it organically because the “the music is forever.” Even though it was not a smashing success for him, the deluxe is still waiting in the wings. However, Kid Cudi’s INSANO (NITRO MEGA), is not what it seems.
About two weeks ago Scott Mescudi gave us a vague update on fans assumed was going to be a expanded version of INSANO. He said it is a “whole other album.” That flew over everyone’s heads because he was telling us just that. The 18 songs are an entirely different LP; a sequel you could say. Kid Cudi announced INSANO (NITRO MEGA) on X according to HipHopDX and it will drop on February 23.
Bingo. This is not a deluxe. It will be a continuation of the energy but isnt a deluxe, its another album called INSANO (NITRO MEGA) https://t.co/nZWlLOqJ9P
In the second tweet above, a fan had his suspicions confirmed that it would be a different listening experience. “Bingo. This is not a deluxe. It will be a continuation of the energy but isnt a deluxe, its another album called INSANO (NITRO MEGA) ,” Cudi said. Currently, there are no updates on the song titles or features just yet. So, be sure to stick with us for all of those upcoming details.
What are your thoughts on Kid Cudi’s announcement and further details about INSANO (NITRO MEGA)? Is this going to be better than the original record, why or why not? What are your opinions on INSANO and why? Who would you like to see on (NITRO MEGA)? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

He thanked every person who not only listened to the track but also actively contributed to its spreading influence by recommending it to friends.

This acknowledgment extends beyond the immediate success of “Day ‘N’ Nite” and recognizes the magical synergy of the people who contributed to his artistic journey during its nascent stages.
Moreover, the 16th-anniversary celebration encapsulates more than a mere acknowledgment of time passed. It represents a profound appreciation for the enduring impact of art. Kid Cudi’s humility and gratitude shine through as he recognizes the collective magic created by those who resonated with “Day ‘N’ Nite” and contributed to the foundational moments of his career. In conclusion, Kid Cudi’s social media post stands as a poignant tribute to the transformative power of music. As fans and collaborators join him in reflecting on the 16th anniversary of “Day ‘N’ Nite,” it becomes a celebration not just of a hit single but of the enduring magic that music weaves into the fabric of our lives.
The deluxe edition of INSANO will have 18 tracks, according to Kid Cudi. “The deluxe is pretty much a whole nother album, in the spirit of INSANO, but a continuation, a elevation of the vibes. 18 tracks. #INSANO,” Cudi wrote on Twitter. However, Cudi didn’t reveal anything else, such as new features on the deluxe or what the new tracks entail. However, fans appear excited about the prospect of Cudi in the near future. Many fans responded to his news with stories of listening to INSANO while under the influence.
INSANO was released in mid-January to mostly favorable reviews. However, it flagged in terms of sales and only peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Album 200. That matched the peak of 2022’s Entergalatic but also tied the lowest peak for a Cudi album since 2015’s Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven (No. 38). How do you feel about INSANO? Are you looking for looking forward to the deluxe edition?
Meanwhile, Cudi is returning to acting with a new animated vehicle, Slime. The Cleveland musician is set to star in and produce the film about two individuals who set off on a quest to find a cure for the side effects of a medical trial. The film will serve as the directorial debut of Jeron Braxton, an animator best known for Baby Demon. The script is the work of Brian Ash, best known for The Boondocks.
Cudi is set to play Glenn, a lab worker kidnapped by protagonist Muna as she searches for a cure for the trial that she underwent and that Glenn was involved in. It has not been revealed at this time who will be voicing Muna. This year, Cudi won an Emmy for his work in the trippy Netflix special, Entergalatic. He also had a supporting role in the Disney+ series Crater. However, the series was controversially pulled by the streaming platform after just a few weeks.
Kid Cudi says he’s not concerned about the negative reviews for his new album, Insano. When fans tagged him in a post complaining about Pitchfork’s 4.6 rating for the project, Cudi remarked that his music is everlasting. The fan had written: “Who is writing these Pitchfork reviews?? @KiDCuDi they did you dirty man. They must hand out the album review work to the biggest hater for every new album out lol.”
“Hahah I loveeee it,” Cudi replied. “When I die they’ll still have to deal [with] my awesome. I’m not goin anywhere. The music is FOREVER. The arena tours will still sell out. And I will always know that I came in the game and infected it [with] that sh*t.” He further added: “Based on their ratings of my albums, I should’ve lost my career years ago. Their opinion never holds any weight. I encourage y’all not to read reviews. It’s a waste of time. Listen for [yourself]. Same [with] movies. I never care about the rating, if it has some [of] my favorite actors in it and I like the plot, I’m watching.”

While most of Cudi’s fans took his side in the discussion, some came to Pitchfork’s defense. One user defended the writer of the review, noting that they’ve put readers onto artists like Larry June, Boldy James, and Mach-Hommy, with positive write-ups over the years.
Kid Cudi Responds To Negative Reviews
Hahah I loveeee it. When I die theyll still have to deal w my awesome. Im not goin anywhere. The music is FOREVER. The arena tours will still sell out. And I will always know that I came in the game and infected it w that shit. Based on their ratings of my albums, I… https://t.co/MnlJhalNSC
The complaints about Pitchfork come as the site’s parent company, Condé Nast, announced it will be folding the site into GQ. Anna Wintour, chief content officer for Condé Nast, said the decision is “the best path forward for the brand so that our coverage of music can continue to thrive within the company.” According to the Associated Press, at least a dozen staffers have already been laid off. This included editor-in-chief Puja Patel. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kid Cudi on HotNewHipHop.
In a surprising turn of events, Kid Cudi has taken a step towards reconciliation, extending an apology to Lupe Fiasco after their recent public spat on social media. As HNHH previously reported, Kid Cudi offered an apology to Lupe Fiasco earlier today. Cudi expressed regret and a desire for resolution, emphasizing the brevity of life and urging for a way to move past the conflict. However, it didn’t appear to be enough for Fiasco. Cudi’s initial tweet read, “Love u g. Im sorry if i hurt u man. Life is too short. Hope u can find it in ur heart to get past this,” accompanied by an acknowledgment that he had sent a direct message to Lupe.
Moreover, the gesture, seemingly heartfelt, indicates Cudi’s willingness to mend bridges and move forward. Lupe Fiasco initially responded with a concise “All I needed,” hinting at the potential for reconciliation. However, in a subsequent tweet, he expressed the complex emotions he felt upon receiving the apology, admitting that despite a moment of release, the desire to settle the matter physically still lingered. Fiasco later tweeted, “This lying a** bitch a** nigga… Aight…” And many were left puzzled. The exchange escalated when Kid Cudi requested Lupe to refrain from using derogatory language, emphasizing his approach with love and sharing the DM he had sent. Cudi also expressed his commitment to resolving the issue and stated his intention to talk with Lupe the following day.
I thought him apologizing would help. But it didn’t. Because I gave up on that happening years ago. So when he said it. I had a moment of release. Then when I looked at how he said. I felt that I still wanna beat his ass on sight. https://t.co/kbu4Oc1Jpo
You tryna to come years later with this peace shit, half apologize. Nigga you could have settled this years ago with a simple phone call. Now you ain’t got the room after the due date. Nigga you will always be a bitch to me. I just want to hear that… https://t.co/LQwmLDfA9e
Lupe’s response, however, was unyielding as he questioned Cudi’s sincerity, challenging the timing of the peace offering and accusing him of attempting a half-hearted apology years later. The tweets unveiled the deep-seated animosity between the two artists, with Lupe insisting on hearing a direct apology before considering any resolution. “Or what b**ch a** n**ga? You tryna to come years later with this peace s**t, half apologize. N***a you could have settled this years ago with a simple phone call. Now you ain’t got the room after the due date. Ni**a you will always be a b**ch to me. I just want to hear that apology from your mouth then you can kick rocks. Every n**ga I know you know think you a b**ch too. This ain’t nothing new.”
The ongoing drama took a new turn with the revelation of an interview where Kid Cudi discussed his new album INSANO. Cudi opened up about his creative inspiration, including a transformative experience at a Kendrick Lamar live show. However, he also shared a story about hiding from Lupe Fiasco during his early days at a Bape store in New York. This revelation triggered a Twitter storm from Lupe, reigniting their years-long beef. Despite the renewed tension, Kid Cudi, in a series of tweets, seemed determined to rise above the negativity, expressing regret and reaching out for a private conversation to settle their differences. The hip-hop community waits to witness the next chapter in this evolving saga.
Earlier today a new interview of Kid Cudi hit the internet. He sat down with Zane Lowe of Apple Music to discuss his new album INSANO and a number of other subjects. During the interview, Cudi tells a story about Lupe Fiasco, who he’s publicly had a beef with for years now. The new story was about a time that Lupe came into the Bape story Cudi was working at before he was famous. “I was in the back and they were like, ‘Yo, Lupe’s here.’ I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t.’ Stayed down the stairs, waited until he left. They were like, ‘What you down here for?’” Cudi detailed. “”I explained it to my dude the same way I explained it to you. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, if I get famous one day, I don’t ever want this n*gga saying like, ‘He sold me clothes. You my son.’”
Clearly, Lupe Fiasco caught wind of his comments pretty quickly and they didn’t sit right with him. Lupe didn’t hold anything back in his first tweet responding to the situation. “Kid Cudi is a b*tch. And continues to be a b*tch. Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the Bape Store to diss his b*tch ass for having a regular job before he was a famous b*tch with a cool job,” his response tweet read. The profanity laced tweet turned out to not be an outlier as it served as the first in a long series of attacks going on all day. Check out the first tweet that started the rant below.
Kid Cudi is a bitch. And continues to be a bitch. Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the Bape Store to diss his bitch ass for having a regular job before he was a famous bitch with a cool job.
In successive tweets Lupe elaborated on his feelings and where they came from. First, he claimed that he wanted to beat Cudi up which caught some fans off guard, though others found it funny. Next he told the entire story of how their beef started. He explained that he was a fan of Cudi initially and reached out to him while he was dealing with difficult times.
But when Cudi brought up money in a strange tweet aimed at Lupe things went sour and never recovered. What do you think of Lupe Fiasco re-igniting his beef with Kid Cudi through an explosive series of tweets? Let us know in the comment section below.
Cudi recently sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for an interview, and during the chat, he spoke about his time nearly brushing into Fiasco in 2008 while working at Bape’s retail store in New York. Cudi spoke about hiding from rappers when they would shop at the location to avoid giving them ammunition for future diss tracks. One of those rappers so happened to be Lupe Fiasco.
“If I get famous one day, I don’t ever want these n****s saying, ‘Yo, you sold me clothes. You my son,’” he said. “I couldn’t have that. This was my explanation. And when you think about it he hates me ’til this day. He hates me. So, it’s like I was right. I was onto something. I sensed something in the universe.”
On January 19, after getting wind of Cudi’s interview, Fiasco took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a message with his longtime foe. He wrote, “Kid Cudi is a b*tch. And continues to be a b*tch. Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the Bape Store to diss his b*tch ass for having a regular job before he was a famous b*tch with a cool job.”
Kid Cudi is a bitch. And continues to be a bitch. Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the Bape Store to diss his bitch ass for having a regular job before he was a famous bitch with a cool job.
He just couldn’t stay away, as INSANO‘s release marked Kid Cudi’s return to music—kind of. His short-lived retirement threw fans for a loop, but not everyone was convinced he would be gone for long, even Cudi. As the reviews pour in for Cudi’s 11th album, the hitmaker chopped it up once again with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1. These two have a history of intimate conversations encompassing Kid Cudi’s life, career, and personal growth, and this falls right in line.
As expected, the pair discussed INSANO at length, especially Cudi’s fairweather retirement. He admitted it wasn’t anything that he was set on, but Cudi didn’t feel as if fans were really hungry for new music. With INSANO, it seems that Cudi is welcoming criticism with open arms. “I’m just trying to compete,” he said.
“I want to have the best album of the year. You know what I mean?” Cudi continued. “I want people to arguably have the debate about my sh*t being one of the best albums of the year. I didn’t want to have any doubts. I wanted to make something that was completely undeniable.”
Moreover, it isn’t just Kid Cudi’s music that has found the Ohio native under scrutiny. His public fallouts with good friend Kanye West have made headlines, leaving many to believe their cemented bond was fractured. Yet, these two are more than simply collaborators and friends, and Kid Cudi spoke about reuniting with Ye for a fresh start. He even said Ye is aware of the impact of his controversies.
“I had this moment to think about the past and the journey that I’ve had with this person, and I know that in his soul,” said Cudi. “There is a good man there because I’ve seen it, and you don’t give up on people. He’s learning, and he’s growing. He knows he made some mistakes and I think that that’s the beauty of it, is this is a beautiful thing.”
Check out a few highlights from Kid Cudi’s chat with Zane Lowe—his feelings about approaching 40, snagging an XXXTentacion posthumous feature, working with Lil Yachty, why he wants to make the best music possible, and hiding from Lupe Fiasco (and other rappers) while working at the BAPE store back in 2008.
Kid Cudi On His Short-Lived Retirement & Returning To Music
[When I said that] I was kind of out of it. I was just in this place where I was thinking about my future, and it didn’t seem like, I don’t know. It just doesn’t seem like there was really an appetite for my music in the ways that there used to be. Finally got through that whole retirement thing because I talked to my friend Brian, the world knows him as Kaws. But he was like, “Hey, man, I don’t mean to get in your business, but I think you should rethink this retirement thing. I think you could be around for a long time.”
to see Brian kind of come to me real like that, and he’s never approached me about my music or what I should do with my music ever before. So, it hit me in a different way as if it was like it could have been Dot or Chip or Dennis. It was different. And literally after that message, I was like, “Sh*t, man. He’s right. I’m just getting warm. I’m just getting warm.” I mean, 15 years is a long time to be doing anything, but it’s just the beginning.
I was still in this place trying to figure out what that album would sound like. And I was in Paris, I just finished my European Runner tour, and I go to see Kendrick. And this motherf*cker, it blew my mind. I’m sitting there, I’m watching the crowd reaction from the beginning of the show to the end of the show. People were in it, party mode, singing every f*cking word.
Not saying this doesn’t happen at my shows, because it does. But all the way through, I don’t have that experience. You know what I mean? And it’s like I had this moment where I was like, “You know what? This is the reaction I want. I want people to feel good and it to be a joyous occasion when I’m performing.” So I took that, the inspiration from Kendrick’s show. And Kendrick has always been my top three artists in the world.
Kid Cudi On His Relationship With Kanye West & Working With Ye
It’s usually one person does something where the other one has to defend themselves, but usually you like to keep these things private. But sometimes, they can come out. I think in my situation, it’s a little bit more complicated. Me personally, I just pray on it and walking the light. The new Scott is not angry at anyone. The new Scott doesn’t have beef with anyone, and I just try to focus on that.
Any past thing I ever had, sometimes it’s been I might fall out with somebody and never talk to them ever again. And then sometimes I fall out with somebody and might not talk for a couple years, and then we reconnect, and it’s squashed, and it’s all good. So, it depends. It’s like friendships, really it’s beyond friendship, is about when it’s brotherly, sisterly sh*t, family sh*t. It’s just a little bit more complicated.
So, you go through things, but family is always there. You don’t give up on family. And I think in the thick of it, when it was going down, I wanted to walk away. I wanted to give up, but in thinking about it the past couple years, it’s like this is someone who is my brother ultimately who came into my life and championed me and did things for me that nobody else did for me early on in my career. People don’t even know that Kanye paid for the first “Day ‘N’ Night” video when I didn’t have a deal. This was like, he needs a video, so I’mma pay for it. Guy saw me to shoot it, saw me the first director. Didn’t know me, but was sure just doing a favor.
And so, sh*t like that. I had this moment to think about the past and the journey that I’ve had with this person, and I know that in his soul, there is a good man there because I’ve seen it, and you don’t give up on people. He’s learning, and he’s growing. He knows he made some mistakes and I think that that’s the beauty of it, is this is a beautiful thing. It’s like he knows he’s been on one hell of a ride, and he knows he’s said some things that he might not be able to come back from in a lot of realms, in a lot of spaces from certain people.
But we grow, and I think I pray for him, and that’s my brother. And the reason why we became cool again is because he apologized to me, and it was sincere. I was just like, wow. Kanye does not apologize to anybody and say sorry to anyone. And that’s my brother, man. I know he loves me, and there’s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We like the duo that everybody loves to see.
On Wanting To Make The Best Music Possible

I feel like all these years, I’ve kind of been exploring as an artist, and I’ve been on a quest. A quest to acquire my powers to be able to compete one day, and that was one of the goals I had going into this. It’s like, no, I’m not going to just make my just offbeat different sh*t and just be in my own lane. No, I’m just trying to compete. I want to have the best album of the year. You know what I mean? I want people to arguably have the debate about my sh*t being one of the best albums of the year. I didn’t want to have any doubts. I wanted to make something that was completely undeniable.
On Closing In On 40 Years Old
CHICAGO – AUG 01: Kid Cudi performs at 2015 Lollapalooza at Grant Park on August 1, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois (Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)
I feel great. It’s like most people my age are afraid to tell their age. But I have found from experience that time gives me wisdom, and growth, and maturity. And when I think about my twenties, I would not want to live that over again. I would never want to go through that. And based on my experience, the older I’ve gotten, the better my life has. I just feel really good about being where I’m at. Being 40, I didn’t even know I would get here. I feel really blessed, man. It’s kind of crazy to know that I went through that hell. I didn’t see any way out of it at that time. I didn’t think…
On Working At The BAPE Store In NYC & Hiding From Rappers
Man, Kirk Franklin came through one time, and I helped him out with some clothes. Kirk Franklin, you remember me, man? Kirk Frank is the freshest dude, man. He’s so fresh. So when he came in, I was like, yo, Kirk Frank’s in the BAPE store shopping. He was buying mad sh*t. I was running down, getting him new shoes. He was like, “Yo, what you think about this with this?” I was like, “Oh yeah, man, this is dope. You could wear this with this. This is dope fit right here.” I was hooking them up, setting them up with fits, all sorts of sh*t. But I also had this phobia that rappers would come into the store and see me working there and then have beef with me later and bring up the fact like, “N****, you sold me clothes.” So, I would always hide in the stockroom.
On Working With Lil Yachty
There’s new people that I’m working with like Yachty, of course, who I’ve learned that we have crazy chemistry on record as well. You know what I mean? And we’re actually—there’s something going on with me and Yachty…like just more music between me and him. We’re trying to figure something out. Every so often, I’ll work with somebody and be like, oh my God, he’s like me. He has powers. Yachty got powers. And when we were sitting there, we must’ve banged out three, four songs. So, there’s a little bit more of Yachty on the deluxe, and he sounds amazing.
On Making A Song With XXXTentacion
Well, it was really like one of these things where I’ve heard it’s this version of a song that X had did on one of my songs on “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven,” and I tweeted out, “Is this real?” And I ended up connecting with John Cunningham, who worked very closely with X, and he met up with me. He came to the studio. We talked a little bit. He played me the joint. It’s amazing. At some point, we have to give it out. I want them to have it. I don’t even want it. I just want to make sure that they have what they need. I’ll clear it, whatever they got to do.
But I didn’t want to ask them for a verse. I think that’s weird. So, I was like, “Man, maybe there’s something that he’s done that I could probably flip.” And I couldn’t really find that except for “Orlando” because it had no drums. And it was hitting me out of all the songs that I heard, just like, I was like, if this is not calling me to the Cudi vibes, this is just speaking to me. And I hit up John, I got the pieces to the session, got the vocals, and we were like, “Yo, just produce it up and make it brand new.” I was like, “Man, this is a gift. It was there. It was ready to be manipulated. It had no drums. It was really bare. It was there.”
So, I took that as a sign from the Heavens and went to the studio and just conjured up something and pieced together parts. And I loved his cadence and his melodies on the verse. I thought it would be cool for fans to see me be inspired by him and do his vibe. And be in his space for a little bit. Then, I wanted to just have the second half be like, this is the uplifting part. This is where we’re at right now. The light, the love. We came from the darkness.
Because X is just a reflection from my younger days, to me. I see a young man that’s hurting. I was hurting. And this song, I felt his pain. Even though it’s a verse that’s been out before, I saw some people complaining about that, whatever. But it was like a remix. My way of just showing love and giving people an idea of what an X and Cudi feature would sound like.
Before the close of 2023, users online were shocked to see clips of Kanye West embracing Kid Cudi during his Vultures listening party. After nearly a year of publicly professed beef, many thought the Kids See Ghostscollaborators would never reconnect. However, a sibling-like spat couldn’t end their decades-long friendship for good.
While promoting his latest album, Insano, Kid Cudi opened up to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about how he was able to mend his relationship with Ye.
“The reason why we became cool again is because he apologized to me, and it was sincere,” he said. “I was just like, wow, ‘Kanye does not apologize to anybody and say sorry to anyone.’ And that’s my brother, man.”
Cudi doesn’t place blame on either party for the rocky fallout. Instead, he wants to learn from it and move forward.
“He’s learning, and he’s growing,” he said. “[Kanye] knows he made some mistakes and I think that that’s the beauty of it, is this is a beautiful thing. It’s like he knows he’s been on one hell of a ride, and he knows he’s said some things that he might not be able to come back from in a lot of realms, in a lot of spaces from certain people. But we grow, and I think I pray for him, and that’s my brother.”
