It’s Cleveland versus Chicago, as Cudi has gone at it with fellow rapper Lupe Fiasco multiple times over the years. Beginning in 2014 when Cudi criticized Fiasco’s money-making scheme to charge fans $500 for a personalized verse, Cudi publicly called Fiasco out on Twitter, writing, "What are you doing with the money your making from this @LupeFiasco . Are u givin some of this money ur about to make to a charity orrrr?” before later calling the idea "a bit sketch."
Fiasco then shot back with a series of tweets that read in part, "A custom verse is not to ‘Swindle’ you as my competitors would have you believe. It's to give you total control over what you want to hear.” Things reached a boiling point at the top of last year when Cudi hopped on Twitter, offering, "Dear black artists, don’t talk down to the black community like you are God’s gift to n---az everywhere." (This was in response to the January 2015 Billboard cover story featuring Kendrick Lamar, where the Compton rapper commented about the Black Lives Matter movement: "I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it's already a situation, mentally, where it's f---ed up. What happened to Michael Brown should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting -- it starts from within.") Fiasco took offense, responding with, “Shut Up ... How bout you start s***ting on the people who really cared about your wellbeing with this biz was ripping you apart. Fake ass @QueenAlexa."
From there, the tweets flew back and forth over the years with both rappers squabbling online and off. Last November, Fiasco rapped on stage during a Milwaukee show, "Make sure that you listen to every rhythm that I be spittin’, unconditionally written." He continued, "P.S.: To all my enemies, you are now forgiven/ Except Kid Cudi cause that’s not my muthaf--kin’ buddy/ If I see him in the streets, it’s getting’ muthaf--kin’ ugly.”
Apparently having a change of heart during that same show, Fiasco tried to quell the drama by saying, "I’ma let that s*** with f--kin’ Cudi go. I want you to let go of a grudge, let go of something that’s hanging over your head. Don’t terrorize yourself thinking about what you’re going to do and what somebody has done to you."
However, Fiasco seemed to disregard his own advice, with the two continuing to spar right up until this week, when Fiasco released a series of tweets in regard to Cudi’s beef with Drake. "You pushing what you THINK you know about this dude," Fiasco typed of Cudi. "I'm acting what i KNOW. That dude FOUL and needs his ass beat. Period."
