Kid Cudi has come upon yet another hindrance as he gears up to drop his next album, this time regarding his song with Juice WRLD.
On Friday (January 5), the Cleveland native revealed that INSANO, which is scheduled to drop on January 12, will no longer feature a collaboration with the late rapper.

“Hey gang, so I never heard back from Juice team,” the 39-year-old wrote on Twitter. “they said we could use it on my album and they would use it on his, but his team went ghost when we reached out and its been months so it wont be on the deluxe.
“I tried but u know, whatever [shrugging emoji] not me.”
In the early hours of Saturday (January 6), Cudi shared a screenshot of a now-deleted Instagram Story by Peter Jideonwo, Juice’s former manager who is still involved with the artist’s estate. In the post, Jideonwo wrote: “Song is cleared for @kidcudi but since it’s on the party never ends it can’t come out till the release. It can be added to his album after that happens since his album has to come out now.”
“No one is ignoring or not responding to him. He knows this information and that’s the deal.”

The Party Never Ends is the title of Juice WRLD’s upcoming final posthumous album, which the rapper’s team has been talking about since the middle of 2021. No release date has yet been announced.
Upon being notified of Jideonwo’s message by a Twitter user, Cudi responded: “First me hearin this. Never was told it cant come out til his album does. Thats cool tho. We have answers. Power of a tweet.”
This week, Cudi unveiled the deep roster of beatmakers contributing to his upcoming project, and it’s almost as dense as its lengthy tracklist.
The lineup consists of Mike Zombie, FnZ and Dot Da Genius, among others. Also on the team is BNYX, who Cudder recently singled out as his favorite producer from the current generation.
“This talented group of individuals helped me execute something next level,” the “Mr. Rager” hitmaker wrote about his collaborators on social media. “I am so thankful to have worked w some really awesome folks, and next week u will all hear the magic we all created.”
With his next album rapidly approaching, he also shared that he’s “Workin on a listenin event for the 11th in LA.”

After delaying the record’s release this past fall, it was bulked up further with more songs and features.
In October, the Ohio superstar shared updates and revealed that he enhanced it a great deal after deciding to take more time to work on it.
