Kid Cudi dropped his ninth studio album, INSANO, last year—a project that featured everyone from Travis Scott and XXXTentacion to Young Thug, who showed up on the track “RAGER BOYZ.” It wasn’t their first link-up either: the two had previously teamed up in 2021 on “Moon Man” alongside YSL’s Strick.
But now, it looks like Cudi might be done raging with Thug. And while he hasn’t said anything directly (classic Cudi), fans think a certain deleted tweet—and a certain explosive trial—might’ve pushed him to hit “ctrl+alt+delete” on Thug’s verse.
The deleted tweet that may have sparked it all
We’ll give credit where it’s due: THUGGERDAILY on X was the first to notice a quietly updated version of INSANO hit streaming platforms—with one key difference: Young Thug’s verse on “RAGER BOYZ” was mysteriously gone.
Not edited. Not censored. Just… gone. Also: the song reportedly doesn’t even exist on Tidal anymore. So, yeah. Weird.
The rap world’s conspiracy theorists think this might be related to Thugga’s tweet from May during the Diddy trial. Cudi testified about his brief relationship with Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura, and the alleged incidents where the former mogul broke into his house and allegedly blew up his car.
In response to his testimony, Thugga posted (and then quickly deleted): “Dam Cudi a rat lol” on X.
At the time, Cudi didn’t respond publicly. Fans pointed out the obvious: he didn’t volunteer to testify—he was subpoenaed, like… by the court. Not exactly “rat” behavior. Still, Cudi stayed silent and focused on the rollout. That is, until now.
With Thug’s feature scrubbed from the album months after the fact, fans are taking this as a quiet-but-clear response. No diss track. No post. Just delete and move on.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like a reconciliation is coming anytime soon. Which might be a reminder for Thug—or any rapper with Wi-Fi — that not every thought needs to be tweeted. Some things are better left in a group chat. Or, better yet, a diary.
