Kid Cudi parts ways with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label

by Aaron Zorgel

Kid Cudi shocked his fans yesterday in an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106, by announcing an amicable departure from Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. music label. After the April 23rd release of Inicud, Cudder will part ways with his one time mentor to find a new creative direction.

Cudi had this to say about the decision:

“Man, everything is cool. Everything is peace with everyone on the label, but I’m announcing that I’m no longer on G.O.O.D. Music. And this is something that no one knows really. I’m no longer on G.O.O.D. Music. Me and Kanye were actually talking on the phone the other day, and there’s been things I wanted to talk to him about. About me wanting to start my own direction, and he got because he’s trying to start his own new path, and trying new things as an artist. And he was just like ‘Man, I feel you. It’s cool.’ This is just from a business standpoint. There’s no beef with anyone on the label. It’s all love.”
