A desire to work with Kid Cudi that'sĀ so strong that you simply, without hesitation, publicly ask him to make it happen? Relatable.
That was the move for Juice WRLDĀ over the weekend, who hasn't yetāat least, not publiclyāreceived a response from Cudi. "I need to work w you,"Ā WRLDĀ said in a tweet, adding a pair of black heart emoji. Almost immediately, an idiot rolled through with some attempted satanic panic reboot, which WRLDĀ promptly shut down.
WRLD, of course, is among a generation of artists who have frequently cited the Cudiverse as having been hugely influential on both their own creative output and their continuation of Cudi's genre-blending aesthetic.Ā At one point, WRLD said Cudi brings him inner peace, which is something to which I think we can all wholly relate.
In an interview with Billboard over the summer, Cudi was also one of the artists WRLD shouted out for giving him inspiration. "Black Sabbath,Ā Lil Wayne,Ā Chief Keef, andĀ Kid Cudi, andĀ Travis Scott," he said at the time.
WRLD'sĀ proven desire for collaboration gave usĀ this year's full-length Future-assisted project WRLDĀ on Drugs. Fittingly, Wayne popped in for "Oxy."
