Fans holding out hope for a collaboration album between Kid Cudi and Travis Scott received a major disappointment recently. During a Q&A session, Kid Cudi put the final nail in the coffin for the highly anticipated project, bluntly stating, "That ship came and went my friend. Let's move on. So much more to see and hear."
The potential for a collaborative album between the two artists began gaining traction after the success of their 2020 single "THE SCOTTS," which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since accumulated over 804 million streams. Both artists had previously teased the idea of a full album, with Travis Scott promising, “We need to take the time to get it right. I wanna create a ton of songs and pick the tastiest ones and really make it a moment for the culture.”
Despite these assurances, Kid Cudi’s recent comments have dashed the hopes of fans who were eagerly awaiting the album. The Cleveland native’s comment reflects a shift in priorities and suggests that the duo is unlikely to revisit the project.
The announcement comes as a blow to fans who had been eagerly anticipating the collaboration, given the undeniable chemistry between Cudi and Scott. With both artists having inspired each other and achieved significant success together, the cancellation of the project is sure to be seen as one of modern hip-hop's major “what-ifs.”
For those disappointed by the news, the focus will now turn to new releases and projects from both artists, as Cudi hints at exploring other creative ventures.
