Kid Cudi, the influential rapper and producer, has always had a complex relationship with Kanye West. Their artistic partnership, particularly under West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, produced memorable work, including their collaboration in KIDS SEE GHOSTS. Despite their ups and downs, few could argue against the unique bond Cudi and West shared. However, Cudi has now revealed that the person who stood by him the most during his time at G.O.O.D. Music wasn’t Kanye—it was Pusha T.

In a recent tweet, Cudi expressed heartfelt gratitude to Pusha T, calling him his “closest homie” since day one. “Push has been my closest homie since day 1,” Cudi wrote on September 18. “He embraced me from jump and always has my back. When I was on G.O.O.D. Music, he was like literally the only one I had a true relationship with. That’s my big bro and I love him forever. We def gon keep puttin out heat for yall.”

The tweet marks a shift in public perception, as many believed that Kanye West was Cudi’s primary creative and personal ally during their time together at G.O.O.D. Music. Pusha T, who has also had a long-standing partnership with Kanye, clearly held a significant place in Cudi’s life, providing support when it was needed most.

While Cudi’s relationship with Kanye West has been rocky in the past, the two artists have seemingly reconciled. Earlier this year, Cudi explained in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music that West had apologized to him privately, which helped mend their relationship. “The reason we became cool again is he apologized to me. And it was sincere. I was like, ‘Wow, Kanye does not apologize to anyone,'” Cudi shared. “That’s my brother, man. I know he loves me. There’s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We’re the duo everybody loves to see.”

Despite their past disputes, Cudi maintains hope for Kanye’s growth. “I know that in his soul, there is a good man there ’cause I’ve seen it. You don’t give up on people. He’s learning and he’s growing,” Cudi said. He acknowledged Kanye’s mistakes but emphasized the importance of growth, expressing that he prays for him.

While Cudi’s relationship with Kanye continues to evolve, his bond with Pusha T remains a constant, with the two planning to continue making music together. It’s clear that amidst the turbulence, Pusha T was a reliable figure in Cudi’s life—a testament to their enduring friendship.
