Last year, the Las Vegas rave went down as a historic event for various reasons. One of the key moments was Kanye West and Kid Cudi hugging it out after the scandalous friction between the two about the former’s maintaining a relationship with Kim Kardashian’s ex, Pete Davidson. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Cudi shared the rationale behind keeping up with their brotherhood status. The Cleveland-born rapper revealed, The reason why we became cool again is because he apologized to me”.

Not only that, Cudi added how the factor that got him to “wow” is that “it was sincere.”. The rapper continued that although West was not the person to “apologize to anybody and say sorry to anyone”, he did the unthinkable. Furthermore, Cudi also shouldered the responsibility to unveil that “We like the duo that everybody loves to see.” because “there’s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi”.
