Kid Cudi has claimed that Pusha T was his only âtrueâ friend when he was signed to Kanye Westâs G.O.O.D. Music.
Writing on X (formerly Twitter), Cudi explained the level of respect he has for the Clipse rapper: âPush has been my closest homie since day 1. He embraced me from jump and always has my back.â

âWhen I was on GOOD music, he was like literally the only one I had a true relationship with. Thats my big bro and I love him forever. We def gon keep puttin out heat for yall,â he added of his âRock N Rollâ collaborator.
The revelation may come as something as a surprise given Cudiâs previously close relationship with label founder and frequent collaborator Kanye.

In an interview Apple Musicâs Zane Lowe earlier this year, the Cleveland native revealed that Ye had privately apologized for his previous attacks on him, paving the way for them to restore their friendship.
âThe reason we became cool again is he apologized to me. And it was sincere. I was like, âWow, Kanye does not apologize to anyone, he doesnât say sorry to anyone,â he said.

âThatâs my brother, man. I know he loves me. Thereâs just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We like the duo everybody loves to see.â
He continued: âI know that in his soul, there is a good man there âcause Iâve seen it. You donât give up on people. Heâs learning and heâs growing. He knows he made some mistakes.
âThatâs the beauty of it. The beautiful thing is he knows heâs been on a hell of a ride and he knows heâs said some things that he might not be able to come back from in a lot of realms, a lot of spaces with certain people but we grow. I pray for him. Thatâs my brother.â
Kid Cudi also appeared to have a positive relationship with fellow G.O.O.D. Music signee Big Sean before the two fell out over JhenĂ© Aiko, who was previously married to Cudiâs close friend and collaborator Dot Da Genius.

Cudi and Sean appeared on numerous songs together before the spat, with the Detroit MC later grieving their falling out on his 2016 song âNo More Interviews.â
âFrom Stunna and Wayne, Cudi and Ye / What happened to our family ways, though? / When I put you on that song with Nas, you had told me that you was forever grateful / And that we brothers, so it hurt to hit the internet to find out that me and you donât fuck with each other / Over a miscommunication that probably could be fixed with a five-minute conversation, Iâm still praying for ya,â Sean rapped.
