It was a pretty eventful weekend for Cleveland-born rap artist Kid Cudi, who spoke out against a viral trend that has been blowing up, using his hit record “Day ‘n’ Nite”. The trend uses his lyrics saying, “Now look at this”, before erasing his following lines. Content creators have been using the sound on TikTok to show shocking or funny things happening during their days. Cudder said that he doesn’t appreciate this use of his song, saying he’s “not flattered” on Twitter.
It wasn’t all bad for Kid Cudi fans this weekend, though. In fact, there was some amazing news that was revealed by the 37-year-old artist, who revealed that his star-making mixtape A Kid Named Cudi would finally be more readily available on streaming services.
