Kid Cudi has opened up about his decision to reconnect with Kanye West after years of public tension between the longtime collaborators. In a social media response following their recent Chicago performance, Cudi described West as family and pointed to nearly two decades of friendship and music together.
The comments followed criticism surrounding Cudi’s appearance during West’s Soldier Field concert. Cudi said he understood why some people remain frustrated with West, but explained that his own relationship with the rapper is personal. He added that he had previously held West accountable and believed an apology he received was sincere.
The reunion brought the two artists back onstage for performances of Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1, Ghost Town and Pursuit of Happiness.
