Kid Cudi has responded to rapper Consequence after being accused of being the reason Kanye West was hospitalised in 2016. After coming across his comments about him, the Cleveland rapper issued legal action.

Consequence alleged that Cudi played a role in Ye’s health issues, which at the time were reportedly due to exhaustion. Taking to Instagram on September 18th, Cudi denied the allegations.

“The other day, rapper known as Consequence, made some statements about me, made some allegations that were extremely false, and we sent a cease and desist and told him to take it down and retract his statement,” he said. “He waited two days to take it off. Twitter still hasn’t retracted this statement.”

Cudi also denied being the person who stopped a Kanye West and Drake collaborative album from being released.

“The things he said were pretty fucking disturbing,” he said. “Let me be clear. I had nothing to do with Kanye not doing that collab album with Drake, and I damn sure had nothing to do with him being hospitalised and going to the psych ward.”

He added, “This is some crazy shit to just be saying whatever the fuck you wanna say in a moment, you know, trying to be a hater and just spewing lies, that shit is not a fucking joke. It’s not funny, you know. I’ve never even been a pill guy in my life. Like, n*ggas know me, I don’t do pills, fam. Like, who are you talking about?”

In Consequence’s post, he wrote, “And the reason we didn’t get this Game Changing project… Is because a Kid… Needed to see Ghosts smh … So he got bro to take Pills and rant on stage which landed him in the Psych ward. More Triggering Truth To Tell.”

Consequence previously collaborated with Cudi in 2010 on ‘On My Own’ and ‘Whatever U Want’ from his Movies on Demand mixtape.
