Over a decade later, it seems the pursuit of happiness is still ongoing. Longtime fans will surely remember Steve Aoki‘s remix of Kid Cudi‘s timeless track, “Pursuit of Happiness,” which became a generational dance anthem after its 2009 release. And 13 years later, it seems the two crossover superstars have maintained a close collaborative relationship. “We became really close friends on his first tour in America,” Aoki told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1 in a recent interview, wherein he praised Cudi as a “micro-detailed” musician. “I mean 10 years later, 10 plus years later is still the banger of my side. And I mean, I don’t want to give away anything, I probably shouldn’t say what I’m going to say, he might kill me, but...
Kid Cudi signaled the end of his tumultuous, 13-year friendship with Kanye West in a recent Esquire interview, saying “It’s gonna take a motherfucking miracle for me and that man to be friends again” in reference to the escalating beef between the two rappers over the past year. In February, West wrote on Instagram that he would not feature Cudi, a frequent collaborator, on his music “because he’s friends with you know who.” The since-deleted post was a reference to Pete Davidson, Cudi’s friend and Kim Kardashian’s first boyfriend since filing for divorce from Kanye West in 2021.

Cudi was performing his fourth song when he got pelted in the face with what appeared to be a water bottle. “Yo, I will walk off this stage if you all throw one more fucking thing up here, I will leave, I will leave right now,” he said after getting hit. “Throw one more fucking thing on this stage and I’ll walk off, I’m not fucking playing. I’m not fucking playing, you will ruin it for everybody. I’ll fucking leave If I get hit with one more fucking thing, if I see one more fucking thing on this fucking stage, I’m leaving. Don’t fuck with me.” Almost immediately after those comments another water bottle sailed onstag...
Kid Cudi will play in some of his biggest venues to date this summer and fall on the newly announced To the Moon tour, which gets underway Aug. 16 in Vancouver. Don Toliver will support on all dates, with Denzel Curry and 070 Shake opening on a handful as well.
