Kanye West is seen arriving to the 2019 Met Gala Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2019 in New York City.
Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC ImagesYe (formerly known as Kanye West) has decided to publicly announce that Kid Cudi will not be featured on his next album, Donda 2.
On Saturday (Feb. 12), Ye uploaded a note to Instagram, tagging Cudi as well as Kim Kardashian.
“Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” Ye wrote. He added, “We all speak in Billie language now.”
Cudi, who last collaborated with Ye on 2021’s Donda album, left a comment on Ye’s post and also seemingly tweeted a response — though he didn’t mention Ye by name on Twitter.
“Too bad I dont wanna be on ur album u f—in dinosaur hahaha,” he responded directly to Ye on Instagram. “everyone knows ive been the best thing about ur albums since i met u. Ima pray for you brother.”
“We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE,” he tweeted soon after Ye posted. In another tweet, Cudi said, “God opens the door so the wrong people can exit ur life.”
Ye’s mention of “Billie language” comes days after the rapper took to Instagram to ask his fellow Coachella headliner Billie Eilish to apologize for allegedly taking a vague dig at Travis Scott at a recent concert. “Literally never said a thing about Travis,” she said in the comments of his post on Thursday (Feb. 10). “Was just helping a fan.”
Eilish, who had paused her show to help get an inhaler to a fan in the crowd, had said from the stage, “I wait for the people to be OK before I keep going.” Ye later shared a headline that accused her of dissing Scott with that comment, in reference to the tragedy at Scott’s Astroworld Festival in November.

Live from London, it is Saturday Night Live.
The legendary sketch comedy institution officially launched its UK edition on March 21 with Saturday Night Live UK, featuring former SNL cast member Tina Fey as host and British indie rock group Wet Leg as the episode’s musical guest.
This global expansion of Lorne Michaels’ famous NBC program began with Fey’s opening monologue, which included unexpected cameos from Michael Cera and UK television personality Graham Norton.
“It’s an absolute honour and kind of historic,” Fey told the crowd. “Guys, I am the youngest person to ever host SNL UK!”
During the broadcast, Wet Leg delivered performances of two songs taken from their second album Moisturizer, which opened at Number 6 on Billboard’s Top Rock and Alternative Albums chart and also climbed to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart in the United Kingdom.
The band first appeared performing the record’s fourth single “Mangetout,” a Grammy nominated song that also earned a place on Billboard’s list of the 20 best UK and Ireland songs of 2025. Later in the show they returned to play the album’s lead single “Catch These Fists.”
After their appearance on SNL UK, Wet Leg will travel back to the United States for a series of major festival dates including Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. Their US tour is scheduled to begin April 15 at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California.
Upcoming episodes of SNL UK have also been confirmed. Wolf Alice will serve as musical guest on the March 28 episode hosted by Jamie Dornan, while Kasabian will perform on the April 2 show with Riz Ahmed as host.
The show is broadcast on Sky in the United Kingdom and is available to stream on Peacock in the United States. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first episode attracted more than 220,000 viewers on Sky. It was released in the US on March 22 via Peacock.
