Overview

• Consequence implied in now-deleted posts that a Drake–Ye joint album fell through because of Kid Cudi and suggested Cudi led Ye to take pills and end up hospitalized.
• Cudi responded in an Instagram video calling the statements false, saying he has never been a “pill guy,” and rejecting any role in Ye’s hospitalization or the shelved collaboration.
• He said a cease-and-desist was sent and demanded a public retraction by the next day, threatening legal action and financial damages if no correction appears.
• After the legal warning, Consequence removed the original post and a tweet, then reposted Cudi’s video on Instagram and mocked him, writing that “receipts don’t lie.”
• Consequence’s post included a clip from the documentary In Whose Name?, reported to show West rapping a verse for Drake in 2018, as coverage revisited the unfulfilled 2017 Drake–Ye album rumors and Ye’s 2016 psychiatric hold disclosed by West in later interviews.
