Overview
- Speaking on Boardroom Talks, Wale said he no longer speaks with Kid Cudi and recalled feeling kicked when he was down.
- He pointed to Kid Cudi's blunt 2010 Complex remarks dismissing his music as the public turning point in their relationship.
- Wale said their later collaboration on "Focused" stalled when Cudi recorded vocals over the phone and did not revise them, which is why he avoids performing the track.
- He recounted inviting Cudi to a personal event in the mid-2010s and said a dismissive reply nearly led to a fight.
- Wale described years of resentment over what he saw as unequal public grace for their struggles and contrasted that history with a more distant, non-hostile rapport with Drake.
