Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi announced that is no more on Kanye's West label. "I’m announcing that I’m no longer on G.O.O.D. Music. And this is something that no one knows really. I’m no longer on G.O.O.D. Music," he said.

"Me and Kanye were talking on the phone the other day. These have been things I wanted to talk to him about, about me wanting to start my own direction," Cudi said. "He got it because he’s trying to start his new path, and trying new things as an artist. He was just like ‘Man, I feel you. It’s cool. Whatever.'"

The rapper plans to focus on his own label. "I wanna focus on Wicked Awesome, I wanna focus on [King] Chip, and that’s it. I don’t want to have a full label of artists. I just wanna work on Chip and keep my sound going on the Cudi train."

Cudi's first album since he parted ways with G.O.O.D. Music "Indicud" will be released on April 23.
