Kid Cudi says he has plans to “pivot” his album rollout after seeing the reaction to a snippet of his new single, “Flex.”
The rapper’s fans weren’t overly impressed with the preview of his new track, “Flex,” via TikTok, and didn’t hesitate to let him know. In light of the fans’ reactions, Cudi’s post appears to have disappeared from the internet.

On Saturday (May 20), the Cleveland native took to Twitter to explain the situation. Cudi acknowledged that he appreciates fans’ feedback, and plans to release another single on June 2nd.
“You guys are my fans, ur my family!!! I hear yall!! Im pivoting. Different single June 2nd!!” he wrote.
The rapper recently addressed another unreleased track he had been working on. According to Kid Cudi last week, Playboi Carti would not allow him to clear a song for his upcoming album.
Last week, the rapper expressed his frustration via Twitter while also sharing a few teasers.
After one fan asked if his unreleased Carti collaboration “Solo Dolo, Pt. IV” will appear on the album, Cudi said the Whole Lotta Red hitmaker hasn’t given him permission to use the song, which he feels is a “very weak” move.
“He wont clear it which is very weak,” he wrote. “So yea it wont be on there. Which is ok becuz the shit I have on this album fuckin smacks and ur faces will melt.”

Kid Cudi played “Solo Dolo, Pt. IV” for the first time during his To The Moon Tour stop in Paris in November 2022.
“This is one song I’ve been sitting on for a while,” he told the crowd. “It features my brother, Playboi Carti, and it’s called ‘Solo Dolo, Pt. IV.’”
“Solo Dolo, Pt. IV” serves as the fourth installment of Cudi’s song series that has been featured on previous albums Man on the Moon: The End of Day, Indicud and Man on the Moon III: The Chosen.
