Last night, Kid Cudi<\/a> took to X<\/a> to share a disappointing message with his supporters. According to him, he’ll be taking a “lengthy” break from music to focus on other things, and doesn’t quite know when he’ll be back. As a parting gift, he dropped off his new song “Once,” which he calls a \u201cgoodbye for now.” <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a goodbye for now song,\u201d<\/a> he declared on SoundCloud. \u201cIt was produced by myself with my homie Sebastian addin\u2019 extra sauce here and there. Taking a break but wanted to leave u [with] something special and from the heart. [You\u2019ll] be hearing me featured on my friends\u2019 albums but as far as me, I gotta step into the shadows and focus on my other dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first fans of heard of Kid Cudi taking a hiatus, however. Earlier this month, he hopped online once again with a couple of tweets. In them, he indicated that he won’t be dropping a new album any time soon.<\/p>\n

“Free was my last album on a major label (which is part of the reason I called the album Free) and now I\u2019m lookin forward to a new chapter and being independent. I\u2019m so proud of this album and the reception it received,” he wrote in part. “I think ima officially take a step back<\/a> for a while from droppin albums and focus on directing, more acting, painting and fashion for sure. […] Its gonna be a while til y\u2019all hear another album from me but I promise when I do come again, it won\u2019t be boring.”<\/p>\n

Kid Cudi’s latest announcement comes just a few days after he threatened to take legal action against Consequence. This was due to allegations made in the Nico Ballesteros-directed Kanye West<\/a> documentary, In Whose Name? He alleged that Cudi prevented a Ye and Drake<\/a> collab, led the Chicago rapper to take pills, and more. <\/p>\n

“Let me be clear,” Cudi began in response. “I had nothing to do with Kanye not doing that collab album with Drake. And I damn sure had nothing to do with<\/a> him being hospitalized and going to a psych ward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last night, Kid Cudi took to X to share a disappointing message with his supporters.
