In his appearance on CBS Mornings on Wednesday, August 13, Kid Cudi addressed his rocky relationship with Kanye West, which started in the late 2000s and had reached its end by 2020.

West and Abloh were once close creative collaborators after meeting during a 2009 internship at Fendi and later worked together at Ye’s creative agency, Donda. Tensions surfaced in 2018 after Abloh was named Louis Vuitton’s menswear artistic director, a move Ye later admitted sparked feelings of “jealousy and fear.”
