That\u2019s not me. What I say, I mean. I will be done with you. It\u2019s gonna take a motherf***ing miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don\u2019t see it happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reunion between Ye and Cudi was the first time they shared the stage since 2018, when they performed their joint album together at Coachella. West\u2019s fallout with Cudi happened while his career nosedived after he went on several <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopwired.com\/2603755\/kanye-west-twitter-account-deactivated-for-porn-after-weekend-of-nazi-rants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antisemitic rants<\/a>, praised Hitler, and denied the Holocaust. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the release of his latest album and his stadium tour, West conveniently apologized, <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopwired.com\/3018268\/kanye-west-wall-street-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taking out a full-page ad <\/a>in the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> and blaming his antisemitic rants on his manic behavior. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kid Cudi Puts On His Cape For Kanye West<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday morning, Cudi defended performing alongside West, saying that \u201ceveryone deserves some grace\u201d and \u201che apologized and it was sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that he was \u201cdisappointed in a lot of people\u201d because of them being forgiving of a man who released a song called <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopwired.com\/2702181\/kanye-west-drops-heil-hitler-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cHeil Hitler\u201d <\/a>last year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cudi <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KiDCuDi\/status\/2096202391947518030?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">responded to Rosenberg<\/a> writing, \u201cI understand ur frustration, Peter. I fucks w u, but I don\u2019t really care if ur disappointed in me. That man is my brother. U dont have a relationship w him like I do. Damn near 2 decades of art and friendship. U not family. So I get it. Ive been around Ye, and I can honestly say talking to him now is how it use to be when I first signed to him, but even better. He was dealing w mental health struggles for years and now hes good. Everyone deserves some grace when they family. I was the hardest on him out of anybody. I held him accountable. He apologized and it was sincere. But like I said, u not family so I get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, yes, West did apologize, but he didn\u2019t apologize to Black people for saying \u201cslavery was a choice,\u201d criticizing Harriet Tubman, wearing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/kanye-west-kkk-hood-vultures-listening-party-1235553670\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ku Klux Klan outfit<\/a>, and saying abortion is a form of population control for the Black community. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, the moment has sparked a lot of commotion on social media, with users pointing out that West still hasn\u2019t said sorry to the Black community. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"load-later load-later-vendor-twittercom\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BeanzGotGamez\/status\/2096201417081921742?s=20\" data-content=\"%3Cblockquote%20class%3D%22twitter-tweet%22%20data-width%3D%22500%22%20data-dnt%3D%22true%22%3E%3Cp%20lang%3D%22en%22%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3EHe%20never%20apologized%20to%20Black%20people%2C%20his%20own%20people%2C%20whom%20he%20has%20constantly%20disparage%20in%20front%20of%20white%20people.%20%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EFuck%20him%20and%20fuck%20all%20that%20music.%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2Fu0pwHNcK1o%22%3Ehttps%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2Fu0pwHNcK1o%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%26mdash%3B%20B%20E%20A%20N%20Z%3A%20Hoarding%20PS5%20Game%20Discs%20%F0%9F%8E%AE%20%28%40BeanzGotGamez%29%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FBeanzGotGamez%2Fstatus%2F2096201417081921742%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw%22%3ESeptember%205%2C%202026%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fblockquote%3E%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.x.com%2Fwidgets.js%22%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Joe Budden commented on West\u2019s penchant for being forgiving when it\u2019s most convenient for him, calling it \u201cthe most corniest sh*t in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"load-later load-later-vendor-twittercom\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rosenbergradio\/status\/2096306673648349501?s=20\" data-content=\"%3Cblockquote%20class%3D%22twitter-tweet%22%20data-width%3D%22500%22%20data-dnt%3D%22true%22%3E%3Cp%20lang%3D%22en%22%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3EThat%20part%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F5zTatbmg6G%22%3Epic.twitter.com%2F5zTatbmg6G%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%26mdash%3B%20Peter%20Rosenberg%20%28%40Rosenbergradio%29%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FRosenbergradio%2Fstatus%2F2096306673648349501%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw%22%3ESeptember%205%2C%202026%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fblockquote%3E%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.x.com%2Fwidgets.js%22%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No lies detected. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see more reactions below. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erika Goldring \/ Kanye West Kanye West has become one of Hip-Hop\u2019s most polarizing figures, to say the least, and following the reception to his latest stadium performances in Chicago, the internet (specifically Black folks) is debating whether he is still worthy of the adulation.
