Kid Cudi reaches out to Lupe Fiasco to squash beef.
Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco have been in beef for years, and the INSANO rapper reignited the issue during a new interview with Zane Lowe. In the interview, the rapper recalled working at BAPE store in NYC, and hiding when Fiasco visited the store.
“I had this phobia that rappers would come into the store, and see me working there, and then have beef with me later and bring up the fact like, ‘Ni–a, you sold me clothes.’ So I would always hide in the stockroom,” he said. “‘If I get famous one day, I don’t ever want this ni–a saying, ‘Yo, you sold me clothes, you my son.’ You know what I’m saying? We can’t have that. This was my explanation, and yo, bro, when you think about it, [Lupe] hates me to this day. He hates me. So it’s like, I was right. I sensed something in the universe.”
Following the interview, Fiasco hits back at the rapper in since-deleted tweets. “Ain’t nobody finna bring up he used to work at the BAPE store to diss his bi–h a-s for having a regular job before he was a famous bi–h with a cool job.” “WHAT?!! Like a job shame?”
“I’m not jealous of him. I’m not bullying him. Got nothing to do with fame or money. At the end of the day he slighted a notoriously good ni–a & also one who doesn’t play about his name in the streets or the industry. I stay solid and I seek satisfaction till my heart stops,” he said in another tweet.
“And now he does an interview a couple days ago and says I’m mad at him because he used to hide from me at the bape store before he was even in the music game because I would use it against him later on a diss record? on some job shame? Nasty work…”
After the tweets from Lupe, Cudi issued apology and offers to have a conversation. “Love u g. Im sorry if i hurt u man. Life is too short. Hope u can find it in ur heart to get past this,” he tweeted.
