Kid Cudi Reacts To Kendrick Lamar’s Ferguson Views: ‘Don’t Talk Down On The Black Community’

Kendrick Lamar’s recent thoughts on the killing of Mike Brown ruffled a few feathers yesterday, leading to a feud between Lupe Fiasco and Azealia Banks. In his cover story interview with Billboard, the Compton rapper commented that the issues surrounding the case start from “within” the black community. “What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened,” he said. “Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting -- it starts from within." After garnering responses from Lupe and Banks, Kid Cudi also chimed in with his reaction to K. Dot’s quote:

Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to niggaz everywhere. — Scott Mescudi (@KidCudi) January 10, 2015

If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down. — Scott Mescudi (@KidCudi) January 10, 2015

And almost like clockwork, Cudi’s comments sparked yet another feud, again involving Lupe Fiasco:

How about you stop shitting on the people who really cared about your well being when this biz was ripping you apart. Fake ass @KidCudi — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015

Niggaz be invalid because they don't really mean what they say. I hate niggaz that are disloyal at they core then flex like they Gandhi FOH — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015

Asked by a fan where his bashing of Kid Cudi came from, Lupe Fiasco recalled a past issue between himself and the Cleveland rapper:

Cudi called me "swindler" a few months back. I was flabbergasted And I been privately trying to catch this bitch nigga since then @SDeniseT — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015

And I just find it absurd that a hypocritical backstabbing ass nigga like him is tryin 2 tell otha artists how 2 carry themselves @SDeniseT — Lupe Fiasco (@LupeFiasco) January 10, 2015

Cudi later dismissed the argument, returning to his motives of "love":

For them niggaz catchin feelings — Scott Mescudi (@KidCudi) January 10, 2015
