‘Jesus Walks’ superstar Kanye West walked right into a digital fisticuffs with rapper Kid Cudi Saturday (February 12) after calling out the ‘Day ‘n’ Nite’ hitmaker over his friendship with Pete Davidson.
West is well into a war with Davidson over the comedian’s romantic relationship with Kim Kardashian amid her divorce from the 22-time GRAMMY winner.
After dropping yet another diss Pete’s way via the recently released single ‘City of Gods’ (as we reported here), ‘Ye appears to be severing ties with anyone connected to the former ‘SNL’ star. Cudi was the latest on the chopping block.
As anticipation builds for the February 22 release of Kanye’s new studio album, ‘Donda 2,’ he took to social media over the weekend to say:
Cudi wasted no time hitting back at Kanye’s announcement.

While Kanye and Kid have an extensive professional history together (as the former is credited with putting the latter on the map via his G.O.O.D. label), Davidson has also been very vocal about his close relationship with Kid in the past – even crediting the rapper for saving his life when he contemplated suicide.
UPDATE: Kanye is still going. He took to Instagram to respond to Cudi’s “dinosaur” diss with the following:
“I JUST WANTED MY FRIEND TO HAVE MY BACK. THE KNIFE JUST GOES IN DEEPER.”
