Kid Cudi is shedding light on his reconciliation with Kanye West on-stage during his Friday Chicago concert.
The rapper played two shows in Chicago this week, the first on Thursday, Sept. 3. His Friday night show was met with a number of surprise appearances, including Rick Ross, Travis Scott, Don Toliver and Cudi, and he’s defending his decision to partake in the performance.
“I understand ur frustration Peter, I fucks w u, but I dont really care if ur disappointed in me,” he wrote on X in response to radio DJ Peter Rosenberg who said he was “disappointed in a lot of people” who “are being openly lame about Kanye.”
“That man is my brother. U dont have a relationship w him like I do. Damn near 2 decades of art and friendship. U not family. So I get it,” he wrote. “Ive been around Ye, and I can honestly say talking to him now is how it use to be when I first signed to him, but even better. He was dealing w mental health struggles for years and now hes good.”
West had a fall from grace in recent years due to a number of controversies, including sharing antisemitic and pro-Nazi remarks. In January, West placed a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal where he apologized and took back his past antisemitic statements.
