Kanye West and Kid Cudi fans were treated to yet another collaboration from the Kids See Ghosts duo earlier this month, but the release apparently came as a complete surprise to the latter.

While interacting with fans on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday (August 25), Cudi admitted he had no idea that ā€œGun to My Head,ā€ a bonus track from Yeā€™s Vultures 2 album with Ty Dolla $ign featuring himself, had been released.

In response to a user who praised his vocal performance on the song, the Man on the Moon maestro wrote: ā€œIts tasty. Hope Ye drops that one day.ā€

That prompted another fan to inform Cudi that the song was already out, catching the Cleveland native off guard.

ā€œWhere??? I wanna hear I forgot what it sounds like [crying face emoji] I only heard it once since I recorded it when he played it that one time at the listening event,ā€ Cudi replied.

After someone else told him that the song is available to buy on Kanyeā€™s website (but is seemingly ā€œsold outā€), Mr. Rager wrote: ā€œWhat da hell is he doin??? Haha ima talk to him.ā€

All of them are currently only available to purchase on Kanyeā€™s Yeezy website and have yet to be released on streaming services.

Kanye and Kid Cudi have remained prolific collaborators since first linking up in 2008, teaming up on songs like ā€œGorgeous,ā€ ā€œMake Her Say,ā€ ā€œErase Me,ā€ ā€œGuilt Trip,ā€ ā€œFather Stretch My Hands, Pt. 2ā€ and ā€œNo Mistakes.ā€

They also released the joint album Kids See Ghosts in 2018.

However, their relationship outside of the studio has been anything but smooth as theyā€™ve clashed numerous times over the years.

Their most bitter falling out came in 2022 when Kanye cut Cudi from Donda 2 over his friendship with comedian/actor Pete Davidson, who at the time was dating Kanyeā€™s ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

After trading shots with each other, the Lonely Stoner even declared that he would no longer work with Ye, tweeting: ā€œI am not cool w that man. Heā€™s not my friend.ā€

The former G.O.O.D. Music labelmates eventually buried the hatchet at a Vultures listening party last year, with Cudi later revealing that Kanye apologized to him for their spat.

ā€œThe reason we became cool again is he apologized to me. And it was sincere. I was like, ā€˜Wow, Kanye does not apologize to anyone, he doesnā€™t say sorry to anyone,'ā€ he told Zane Lowe.

ā€œThatā€™s my brother man, I know he loves me. Thereā€™s just nothing like Kanye and Cudi. We like the duo everybody loves to see.ā€
