Kanye West was Kid Cudi’s former boss at the G.O.O.D. Music label.
Kid Cudi left Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music label back in 2013, citing a need to separate from West for business reasons.
Watch the video for Kanye and Cudi’s collaborative song “Welcome to Heartbreak.”
Kid Cudi was clearly mocking the collaborative songwriting method that Kanye has displayed on his albums since his 2008 808s and Heartbreaks.
Cudi had no problem dropping names as he called out both Kanye West and Drake specifically in the tweets.

“We’re just working on music, working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio.

Kid Cudi was referring to the “ghostwriting” controversy after the release of Drake’s 2015 album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, according to MTV News.
Rapper Meek Mill was the first to accuse Drake of having a ghostwriter. However, the suggested ghostwriter Quentin Miller has denied writing songs for the rapper secretly.
“I am not and never will be a ‘ghostwriter’ for Drake.
“I’m proud to say that we’ve collaborated but I could never take credit for anything other than the few songs we worked on together.”
Check out the video below to see Quentin Miller’s MTV interview regarding the ghostwriting accusations.
Miller mentioned that even if the songwriter’s name is in the credits, the writer is still considered a ghost.
“You’re still a ghost if your name is in the credits.
“It’s still hidden, it’s still tucked away, that person isn’t doing interviews running around saying, ‘I wrote this and I wrote that.'”
Kid Cudi announced earlier this month that he would be releasing a double-disc, 18-track album in September, according to HipHopDX.
Cudi promised his fans that he would not be participating in the ongoing streaming war between services, stating that the project would be available on “ALL PLATFORMS for streaming and download.”

You will have this album this month in your hearts and your hands. New chapter, new energy, new levels.

At 18 tracks deep, the album is well over an 1hr 30mins long, so the physical will be a double disc set.

The album’s title has yet to be announced. This will be Kid Cudi’s sixth studio album, and a follow-up to 2015’s critically panned Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven.
Kid Cudi ended his tweet tirade by thanking his supporters and pledging to let the music speak for itself.
