Kid Cudi is proud that he wrote the entirety of his 12 albums, and he denies that he's "dissing" anyone with the fact.

While recovering from his post-Coachella foot injury, the Man on the Moon spent some time on X on Tuesday, where he noticed a post about Lil Yachty being credited as a songwriter on his Insano track "Superboy."

Didn't know Yachty produced Superboy, I saw he had writer's credit also... You might be on to something bro

The Knuckles star responded instantly, explaining that Yachty didn't write Cudi's "Superboy" verse.

"No one writes my lyrics EVER. Every song U have ever heard from me, I wrote," Cudi said. "The credits on songs can be confusing when u see all those names, and its usually producers of the song or sample."

The rapper/actor followed that by bigging himself up, writing, "Its a really powerful feeling knowing I wrote the lyrics on all 12 of my albums."

But when one follower took the post as "shots at Drake," Cudi rebuffed the assumption.

"Man me speakin my truth is not me dissing anyone. Its my truth. Its a fact," he replied. "This came up cuz someone was talkin like yachty wrote my verse on superboy. Just wanted to address it and make it 100% clear."

While Yachty wasn't behind the pen on "Superboy," Lil Boat has written for the likes of Drizzy, Kanye West, and City Girls.
