Consequence seemingly implied in a since-deleted Instagram put up that Ye and Drake’s joint undertaking by no means occurred due to Kid Cudi.
“And the reason we didn’t get this Game Changing project…,” he wrote. “Is because a Kid… Needed to see Ghosts smh 👻👀”
While Consequence doesn’t particularly point out Cudi in his put up, his use of “a Kid” might be interpreted as a reference to the previous GOOD Music artist, who additionally launched a mixtape titled A Kid Named Cudi. There can be a extra apparent nod to Ye and Cudi’s collaborative album Kids See Ghosts.
“So he got bro to take Pills and rant on stage which landed him in the Psych ward,” Consequence continued. “More Triggering Truth To Tell.”
The put up is accompanied by a clip from the Nico Ballesteros-directed documentary In Whose Name?which chronicles six years within the lifetime of the artist previously often known as Kanye West.

Kids See Ghosts was additionally launched in 2018. However, Ye and Cudi’s collaborative album was amongst 5 EPs, helmed by West, that have been launched over a one-month span. Pusha T’s Daytona got here out on May 25, adopted by Ye on June 1, Kids See Ghosts on June 8, Nasir by Nas on June 15, and Teyana Taylor’s Okay.T.S.E. on June 22.
Considering Ye was dividing his consideration between 5 totally different initiatives, it is arduous to consider that Cudi’s undertaking alone was to blame for no matter occurred to West’s joint album with Drake.
Cons seems to accuse Cudi of getting West to “take pills and rant on stage,” however it’s unclear which onstage rant he is alluding to. While a lot of West’s medical historical past is clearly saved underneath wraps, he did disclose on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman that he was recognized with bipolar dysfunction after an involuntary psychiatric maintain in Nov. In 2016.
