In an interview with Esquire Kid Cudi explained why he and Ye fell out. It started after Kanye removed him from DONDA 2 for being friends with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian’s then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. Cudi said, “I’m not one of your kids. I’m not Kim. It don’t matter if I’m friends with Pete or not friends with Pete. None of this s**t had anything to do with me. If you can’t be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That’s not my f**king problem. You need to own up to your s**t like every man in this life has. I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it. I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.”
