What does Kid Cudi have up his sleeve? On Sunday night, Cudi posted a tweet declaring that "CHANGE IS COMING" with the hashtag #asteriskcollective. The tweet is accompanied by a 32-second clip where he delivers what appears to be the mission statement of the Asterisk Collective as an asterisk featuring a green, red, and blue stripe that rotates every so often.  

"This is not the world we want. We’re rewriting the script because these rules don’t apply," Cudi said. "We’ll be showing up with real people, in real places, in real ways. To inspire positive change. Bravery, courage, and action, uniting to showcase the power of creativity. Let’s create a better future together. We are the exception to the rule. We are the Asterisk Collective."

In late October, Cudi revealed that he just started working on his next album, but wanted to take his time. He speculated that his upcoming project wouldn't drop until "next year sometime."

Then, he dropped this tasty morsel. 

Maybe this Asterisk Collective thing is tied to his upcoming performance at the BAPE HEADS SHOW at Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden on December 6. Whatever the case may be, we're always exhilarated to hear about anything new related to Cudi.
