Kid Cudi Threatens Legal Action Over Drake-Ye Album Rumors
Kid Cudi is making it clear he had no part in blocking a potential Drake and Kanye West album. The Ohio-born rapper went on Instagram Stories on Thursday, September 18th, to address statements made by Consequence, who accused him of derailing the collaboration and even connecting him to West’s 2016 breakdown.
“The other day rapper Consequence made some allegations that were extremely false. The things he said were pretty f—king disturbing,” Cudi said at the start of his video. He went on to stress, “Let me be clear: I had nothing to do with Kanye not doing that collab album with Drake. And I damn sure had nothing to do with him being hospitalized and going to the psych ward.”
Moreover, Cudi argued that Ye has always made his own decisions, shutting down the idea that he could have convinced him to cancel such a big project. “Kanye gon’ do whatever Kanye wanna do. What I look like being like, ‘Yo, I don’t want you to do this album.’ And him being like, ‘OK.’ Yeah, right, in what universe?”
He also shared that legal measures are already underway, revealing that his team served Consequence with a cease-and-desist letter. Cudi demanded the claims be pulled back immediately. “We sent a cease-and-desist, told him to take it down and retract his statement … I need to get a retracted statement tomorrow,” he warned. “Saying that is extremely false and if not, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer, period. I’ma hit you in them pockets. That little bit of change you got gonna be mine. Keep f—ing with me, s—t is not a game.”
Although Consequence deleted his initial remarks, he reposted Cudi’s response with a sarcastic caption, hinting at “receipts” to back up his story. Drake and Ye teased a joint album in 2017, rumored to be titled Calabasas Is the New Abu Dhabi, but they never followed through with the project.
