To say that the state of affairs between Kid Cudi and Kanye West has been imperfect over the years would be an understatement. Ever since Ye brought Cudi under his wing almost two decades ago, their relationship has been characterized by volatility.
Their feelings towards each other have been perpetually hot and cold. For example, even though they worked together as recently as the early 2020s, their relationship once again hit a rough patch as Kanye spiraled in the post-Donda era.
However, early on Sunday, Kid Cudi put out a tweet that made it clear that he and Kanye have once again entered into a new phase of their relationship. What exactly did Cudi say in his post about Ye, and what does it mean for their relationship going forward?
Here's the Kanye update that Kid Cudi shared with fans on social media
Cudi's announcement came as a response to a fan's question on social media. He was asked if he would ever work with Ye again, and his answer revealed just how unlikely that hypothetical is these days.
"I'm sure we will yea. Right now were rebuilding our friendship," tweeted Cudi. Even if this was all that Kid Cudi said, it would very much be newsworthy. However, he went on to share even more details about what rebuilding their friendship looks like right now.
Apparently, Kanye and Cudi have been checking in on each other recently. Kid Cudi made sure to highlight the fact that these communications have yet to involve work, but he also mentioned that it's been "nice" in his opinion.
This is a big deal, but how should it be taken? Fans can look at this announcement by Cudi either cynically or hopefully. Frankly, given the history that these two share, both reactions are understandable.
On the cynical side, it's easy to focus on the many fluctuations in Kanye and Cudi's relationship before. They've fallen out, made up, and fallen out again. What's to stop this vicious cycle from continuing, especially given the specific personalities involved?
But, on the hopeful side, one cannot help but remember the heights that Kanye and Cudi have reached when they've been on good terms. The results have spoken for themselves. Plus, it's possible to spin things positively by arguing that they always seem to find a way back to each other.
To be honest, the odds are probably against you if you bet on the relationship between Kid Cudi and Kanye West lasting going forward. However, fans of the music that they've made together can't be blamed for hoping that this fresh start stands the test of time.
