Kid Cudiโค Issues Cease-and-Desist to Rapper Consequence Amidst drake-Kanye Album Claims
Los Angeles, โCAโค – September 18, 2024 – Kid Cudi hasโข vehemently denied โallegations made by rapper โConsequence that he interfered with a potential collaborative album between Drake and Kanye West, and further, played a roleโ in west’s โ2016 hospitalization. โCudi responded with a โฃstrongly worded statement onโ Instagram Stories Thursday, accompanied โby news of legal action.
Consequence initially claimed Cudi actively โworked to prevent theโค Drake and Kanye project from materializing and linked him to West’s subsequent health crisis.Cudi addressed these claims directly, stating, “The otherโค day rapper Consequence made someโข allegations thatโค were โextremely false. The things he said were pretty f-king disturbing.” He emphatically added, “let me be clear: I had โฃnothing โto do with Kanye not doing that collab albumโ with โDrake.And I damn sureโ had nothing to do with him โbeing hospitalized and โgoingโ to the psych ward.”
Cudi โคfurther asserted Kanye West operates independently, dismissing the notion he could influence such a important decision. “Kanye gon’ do whatever Kanye wanna do. What Iโ look like being like, ‘Yo, I don’t wantโฃ you to do this โalbum.’ And him being like, ‘OK.’ Yeah, right, in โwhat โuniverse?”
Theโฃ rapper revealed his legal team has already served Consequence withโ aโข cease-and-desist letter, demanding aโ retraction of the statements. “we sent a cease-and-desist, toldโฃ him to take it down and retract his โขstatement โฆ I need to get a retracted statement tomorrow,” Cudi warned. “Saying that is extremelyโ false and if not, you’ll be โฃhearing from โฃmyโฃ lawyer, period. I’ma hit youโ in them pockets. That little bit of change you got gonna be mine. Keep f-ing with me,โ s-tโฃ is not a game.”
Consequence has as deleted hisโ original remarks butโข reposted โCudi’s response to Instagram, โขadding โฃaโ sarcasticโฃ caption and alluding to possessing evidenceโ to support โฃhis โคinitial โขclaims. โฃTheโ rumored joint โalbum between โฃDrake and Kanye West, once tentatively titled Calabasas Isโ the New Abu Dhabi, wasโ initially teasedโ in 2017 butโฃ never โreleased.
