Kid Cudi Accuses J. Cole of Backing Out on Collaboration and Cutting off Communication

In a lively Q&A session on social media, Kid Cudi opened up about his long-anticipated collaboration with J. Cole, revealing a mix of enthusiasm and frustration. Both artists ascended to fame during hip hop’s Blog Era, yet their interactions have remained sparse, a situation Cudi attributes to Cole’s lack of follow-through.

Celebrating the release of his new track “Don’t Worry,” Cudi engaged with fans who urged him to work with Cole. He expressed his past efforts to collaborate with the rapper but couldn’t hide his annoyance at the missed opportunities. Cudi recounted a time when Cole was in the studio working on his 2013 album, “Indicud,” but struggled to find the right vibe for a track, ultimately leaving the project unfinished.

While Cudi didn’t specify which song Cole had dropped the ball on, “Indicud” featured notable names like Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott, hinting that Cole could have easily been replaced during the album’s production. Despite reaching out to Cole again for assistance on his January release “Insano,” Cudi was met with silence, leaving fans wondering when these two giants of hip hop will finally team up.

The playful tone of the exchange between Cudi and fans highlights their desire for a collaborative project, further fueling anticipation in the hip-hop community. As Cudi quipped, “Kids see ghosts, indeed,” hinting at the elusive nature of a Cudi-Cole collaboration that many are eagerly waiting for.
