Kid Cudi Announces He Has Left G.O.O.D. Music

Bet you didn’t see this news on the horizon. Kid Cudi has announced his departure from G.O.O.D. Music. The “Make Em Say” rapper revealed that he wasn’t rolling with Kanye West’s team anymore during a visit to Power 106 in Los Angeles. The interview is still going down but of course the news already made it into the “BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVE: @ducidni announcing no longer associated with G.O.O.D. MUSIC…just now on POWER 106 LA @DJFelliFel @YesiOrtiz,” tweeted Power 106. “No drama..all good..all love still w/ @ducidni and G.O.O.D. Music…’talked to @KanyeWest and told him wanted to do my own thing..’…” Seems like Cudi covered all his bases since he also spoke to Jay-Z about his intentions beforehand. This new development will certainly get the people talking about Cudi’s forthcoming new album, Indicud. Just last night the Cleveland rapper dropped the project’s latest single, “Girls,” featuring Too $hort. Indicud is due in stores April 23. Check out the tweets announcing his “free agency,” of sort, in the gallery. This story is developing.

kudi_cover_xrktu

Cudi’s back on the cover of Complex for their February/March 2013 issue. The entire feature is available to read here. but here are a few a highlights below. Issue hits newsstands February 4th.

On antidepressants

I took a trip on antidepressant lane for a little bit. After the WZRD song “Dr. Pill” everyone thought I was talking about molly or ecstasy. But I’m talking about prescription meds. I had just gotten a shrink. I was having an emotional breakdown with this breakup. I kept trying different pills for five months. It fucked me up. They weren’t working. It was every side effect on the bottle. I couldn’t fuck.

On not being on Cruel Summer much

I was a little disappointed. But Kanye had a vision for that. Whatever that vision was didn’t include much of me.

On his father’s burial 

We didn’t have any money when my dad died. I knew we didn’t have much, but goddamn. I didn’t know it was like that. My mom revealed to me that the casket wasn’t sealed tight. She said my father’s not there, like there’s nothing.

On being labeled a deadbeat dad

That’s what bothered me about that shit that came out [on TMZ about the child custody case]. Why the fuck would I be a deadbeat? I was like, “That’s preposterous.” I didn’t fucking have a dad since I was a kid. I couldn’t wait to have a family and pick up where my dad left off, and be there for my kid.
