Kid Cudi had some good news and some bad news for fans today. On the positive side, he announced that not only are dates for his Insano World Tour on the way, but he is also almost done with his next record — despite just dropping his recent one, Insano, last month. The bad news is that it might be a little bit until people can hear the follow-up.
“My next album is already about 80% done, and it’ll be out in 2026,” Kid Cudi posted on Twitter. “As always, we’re takin it someplace new. Just wanted to let yall know, expect an album from me every other year… next year is all about filmin. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Film and tv. So I take a year off of music to do it all.”

According to Rolling Stone, Kid Cudi is set to appear in the upcoming horror film, Maxxxine. He also might have some more animated projects in the works. However, this year is also about hitting the road to perform.
Those who are hoping to go to one of Cudi’s upcoming Insano World Tour shows can find more information about getting tickets here.
Check out Kid Cudi’s tweet about finishing his next album and his plans for the next few years above.
Kid Cudi is making good on all his promises to fans in 2023. After delaying his anticipated album, Insano, the project is finally available across streaming platforms. As an added treat, the “Heaven’s Galaxy” rapper released the deluxe version shortly after. Now, after a string of pop-up shows, Cudi is ready to embark on a full tour to support a body of work.
Yesterday (February 22), Cudi took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to tease his forthcoming InsanoWorld Tour. So, what do we know about the schedule of performances? To be honest, not much in terms of dates and ticket prices. However, thanks to the graphic shared by Cudi and the tour’s fan sign-up webpage, two opening acts have been unveiled.
Who Is Opening For Kid Cudi’s Insano World Tour In 2024?
So far, Pusha T and Jaden are the only confirmed guests for the Insano World Tour. But Kid Cudi has hinted that more musicians will be added to the lineup later.
Pusha T
Rap veteran Pusha T is the first name listed on the announcement poster, and rightfully so. The Virginia Beach, Virginia native made his bones as part of the sibling hip-hop duo Clipse (known for hits songs “Grindin” and “Mr. Me Too” produced by The Neptunes). As a soloist, Pusha T has found success under Kanye West’s GOOD Music Imprint, releasing a series of revered mixtapes and albums. But his most popular track to date is his 2018 record “The Story Of Adidon,” his diss toward Drake.
However, now that Pusha T has distanced himself from West, Cudi and West reconciled, things could get interesting on the road.
Jaden
Jaden is the second supporting act listed on Kid Cudi’s Insano World Tour announcement graphic. If you were asking yourself, is that the Jaden you think it is…yes it is. Jaden, a.k.a Jaden Smith, the actor, humanitarian, and musician, will join Cudi on the road. Most people tend to remember Jaden from his on-screen cameos in films such as The Pursuit Of Happyness and Karate Kid. Still, most of his creative pursuits are in music (i.e., Spider-Man: Miles Morales soundtrack appearance).
Jaden first broke into music with his hit 2017 song, “Icon.” Given Jaden’s deep admiration and friendship with Cudi, his set will be interesting to watch.
Kid Cudi started 2024 on a high note with the January release of his ninth album, Insano. Usually, there’s a tour announcement to accompany the release of an album from a major artist like Cudi, but Insano came and went with no tour news.
Is Kid Cudi Going On Tour In 2024?
Now, though, Cudi has confirmed that he is indeed going on tour. On X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (February 22), Cudi shared a poster announcing the Insano World Tour, with support from Pusha T, Jaden Smith, and others to be announced.
No tour dates have been announced yet, but Cudi included a link to a website where interested parties can sign up with their email address to be notified when dates are unveiled. So, no dates yet, but one would imagine Cudi will be on the road in 2024, given how early in the year he’s teasing the tour.
Meanwhile, 2024 has been a year of beef for Cudi. In January, he and Lupe Fiasco got into it a bit before he later confirmed that the two are finally “good” and on a “brand new journey.” Then, a few days ago, he seemingly indicated he’s not on the best terms with Donald Glover/Childish Gambino.
“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.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, INSANO (NITRO MEGA), by Kid Cudi? Is this the better project over its predecessor? Who had the best feature on the record and why? What songs are you gravitating toward the most so far? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kid Cudi. Finally, stay with us for the most informative project posts throughout the week.
Kid Cudi has announced his world tour. Hitting Twitter, Cudi announced that he would head out on the INSANO world tour, naming Pusha T, Jaden, and more as headliners.
Fresh from the release of his 11th studio album INSANO, Kid Cudi invites Zane Lowe into his home to discuss the project, his retirement from music, his relationship with Ye, and more.
Speaking on INSANO Cudi tells Zane, “I think that this album is a triumph, because I’ve seen a lot of people saying, yo, you sound like you can feel the happiness in the music. You can feel the joy radiating. Every note, every verse. There’s no Kid Cudi album that sounds like this. Can you imagine? 11 albums, and I was able to still do something new.”
As he nears his 40th birthday, this wide-ranging conversation sees Cudi reflect on his career, how he’s inspired the next generation of rappers, and why he loves working with Lil Yachty.
When speaking about his relationship with ‘Ye, Cudi says, “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.”
He added, “I think in my situation it’s a little bit more complicated. Me personally, I just pray on it and walking the light and 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.”
Throughout his years as a rap favorite, Kid Cudi has worked with a whole host of collaborators. Recently, one fan suggested Cudi add Donald Glover/Childish Gambino to that roster. Based on Cudi’s response, though, it appears he might not be too keen on Glover.
On X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (February 21), a fan wrote, “@KiDCuDi You and Gambino gotta work on something whether it’s TV, movies, or music we’d love to see/hear it! Your guys’ song Warlords needs an official release!” Cudi shared the tweet and replied simply, “Im cool.”
If Cudi has some sort of issue with Glover, it’s not clear why. As the fan alluded to, Cudi and Glover have an unreleased song together called “Warlords,” which leaked online last year. Cudi answered some other fan questions after the Glover one, but has not yet clarified his stance on his fellow rapper/actor.
Beyond that, early in his music career, Glover actually used to open for Cudi. Last year, he remembered a particularly bad night opening, saying, “At the time, I had a full band and a violinist. I just kept turning to the band and telling them, ‘Next song! Next song!’ I put on a really intense show through the boos.”
Floyd Mayweather is shooting Diddy some bail, revealing to The Pivot Podcast that he will not speak badly against the Hip-Hop mogul in light of recent accusations and lawsuits.
“He still a Black man,” Mayweather said. “Mistakes happen. And I can’t say if it is or not a mistake, but things happen in life. And P. Diddy’s business is P. Diddy’s business. It’s not my job or anybody else’s job to go on the internet and stomp him and kick a man while he’s down.”
He added, “I don’t think it’s right at all and I don’t condone it. Even if that happened to my daughter, I would be hurt but that’s a choice that my daughter made.”
Diddy is looking to bring in some help in battling his rape lawsuit. Legal journalist Meghann Cuniff reports Diddy has brought in Ghislaine Maxwel”s attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, for representation.
Sternheim once was the president of the New York Women’s Bar Association and also defended Osama Bin Laden’s aide, Khaled al-Fawwaz, in the bombings of two U.S. embassies.
Diddy’s lawsuit was filed in 2023, stating he and Harve Pierre orchestrated “a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying [Jane Doe] with alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang-raped.”
Diddy has hired Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer to defend him in the federal lawsuit from a woman who says he raped her in 2003 when she was 17.

Harve Pierre, former president of Bad Boy Records, has been sued for grooming and sexually assaulting his assistant. The lawsuit states Pierre’s allegations by his assistant occurred “on multiple occasions in New York City and other locations throughout the country” and “used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her.”
The assistant now seeks damages that will “fully and fairly compensate” for the assault. Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises are listed in the suit.
“We have recently become aware of a lawsuit filed in New York by a former employee,” a spokesperson for Bad Boy Records said to Rolling Stone. “The allegations are from many years ago that were never brought to the attention of the company. Neither the plaintiff nor the executive are current employees of the company. We are now investigating the allegations, and our top priority is the safety and well-being of our employees.”
The development came less than a week after Diddy settled a lawsuit with Cassie over accusations that included domestic violence and rape. According to TMZ, the suit was ended in New York on Monday. The doc reads, “Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, Plaintiff hereby dismisses this action, with prejudice and without costs or fees to either party.”
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie said after the settlement. “I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”

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.
Kid Cudi Was Telling Us All Along That INSANO (NITRO MEGA) Was Unique
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.
