John Legend has clarified the reason why he is no longer close friends with Kanye West.During an interview last month, Legend – who has collaborated with West on numerous occasions in the past – explained that the pair’s political divisions proved to be too much to maintain their friendship.He told The Axe Files podcast: “[Kanye and I] aren’t friends as much as we used to be. I honestly think because we publicly disagreed on his running for office, his supporting Trump, I think it became too much for us to sustain our friendship, honestly.”Speaking to the New Yorker, Legend has now talked about how many media outlets had “mischaracterised” his comments by focussing on former POTUS Trump as the main reason for their fallout.“Yeah, what it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported Trump, which was a mischaracterisation of what I said,” he told the NY.

17.08.2022 - 20:25 / nme.com
Kid Cudi has spoken out about the vitriol he’s received from Kanye West this year, saying the Donda rapper’s online attacks have damaged his mental health and irreparably damaged their friendship.West and Cudi were previously close friends and collaborators but have had a tumultuous relationship since the mid-2010s. They fell out again earlier this year, supposedly due to Cudi’s friendship with Davidson – which led Ye to remove Cudi’s contributions from his ‘Donda 2’ album.Speaking to Esquire in a new profile, Cudi said of West: “I’ve been on every one of that man’s albums. He’s only been on two of mine.
That should tell you something. And don’t think I didn’t ask.”West went on to share numerous posts on Instagram targeting Davidson and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian – who he had been dating up until earlier this month – as well as Cudi. A mocked-up New York Times headline created by West imagining the death of “Skete Davidson” included the line: “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”“Do you know how it feels to wake up one day, look at your social media, and you’re trending because somebody’s talking some shit about you?” Cudi said.
“And then you got this person’s trolls sending you messages on Instagram and Twitter? All in your comments?“That shit pissed me off. That he had the power to fuck with me that week. That he used his power to fuck with me.
That pissed me off. You fucking with my mental health now, bro.”Cudi went on to explain he now had “zero tolerance for the wrong energies,” adding: “I’ve watched so many people throughout the years that are close to him be burned by him doing some fucked-up shit. And then they turn around and forgive him.
