Kid
Cudi
has
never
hidden
the
fact
that
he
is
a
proud
native
of
Cleveland,
Ohio,
and
he’s
making
sure
certain
people
speaking
about
his
life
never
forget
that
fact.
The
rapper
and
actor
had
sharp
words
for
Rich
Paul,
who
claimed
that
the
216
doesn’t
regard
Kid
Cudi
as
one
of
their
own.
The
artist
born
Scott
Mescudi
took
to
X,
formerly
known
as
Twitter,
to
hit
back
at
Rich
Paul
saying
that
Cleveland
doesn’t
show
up
for
Cudder.
Paul
was
a
guest
on
the
BS
With
Jake
Paul
show
to
discuss
the
finer
points
of
his
career,
growing
up
in
Ohio,
working
with
LeBron
James,
sports
agent
talk,
and
more.
In
the
chat,
the
pair,
who
both
hail
from
Cleveland
as
well,
directed
the
conversation
to
the
idea
that
the
city
and
Cudi
are
at
odds.
Jake
Paul
posed
a
question
about
how
Cudi
seemingly
treats
the
city
without
citing
any
real
examples,
prompting
Rich
Paul
to
say
that
the
city
never
embraced
him,
adding,
“You
can’t
expect
somebody
to
treat
a
situation
any
different
than
how
they
were
treated.”
JP
then
made
mention
of
a
moment
between
him
and
Cudi
where
he
asked
the
rapper
to
come
perform
during
one
of
his
boxing
match
walkouts
in
their
hometown
and
the
fee
was
too
high
for
the
popular
YouTuber.
JP
felt
that
Cudi
should’ve
put
on
for
the
city
and
fostered
some
goodwill.
The
response
from
Kid
Cudi
can
be
viewed
below:
Rich
Paul
doesn’t
know
me.
He
doesn’t
know
my
life.
My
mom
lives
in
Cleveland
and
Ive
been
goin
there
on
holidays
and
summer
breaks
for
years.
Mostly
when
im
in
Cleveland,
its
family
time.
Im
not
throwin
events
in
the
city
cuz
its
already
too
hot
for
me
in
the
city.
When
im
there
I
like
the
chill.
Im
not
hangin
at
Cleveland
clubs
or
in
the
streets
or
whatever
the
f*ck
else
u
expect
me
to
do.
Oh
I
get
it,
was
I
suppose
to
catch
a
couple
Browns
or
Cavs
games?
Im
the
most
lowkey
guy
around.
You
aint
suppose
to
see
me
brother.
Thats
number
1.
Number
2:
I
will
say
the
city
of
Cleveland
has
embraced
me
over
the
years.
So
I
disagree.
Radio
in
Cleveland
might
not
play
my
sh*t,
but
I
had
20k
people
at
Moon
Man’s
Landing
in
Cleveland
last
year.
A
success.
And
were
doin
it
again
too.
Not
only
does
the
city
embrace
me,
I
make
most
people
in
that
city
and
the
state
of
Ohio
proud.
Everytime
I
record
a
record
I
mention
the
city.
Thats
all
day.
Everybody
that
listens
to
my
music
knows
Im
proud
of
where
im
from.
And
3rd,
as
far
as
Jake
Paul,
listen
chief,
Im
an
artist.
A
real
one.
I
make
art
for
a
living.
Im
not
some
guy
that
comes
out
to
perform
at
boxing
matches.
I
entertained
it
tho
cuz
it
was
u,
and
tho
it
went
against
what
I
stand
for
I
submitted
a
fee.
My
fee
is
my
fee.
Especially
for
some
sh*t
thats
not
my
style.
If
im
gonna
do
it
its
gonna
be
worth
it
for
my
pockets
and
time.
This
is
business
baby.
Im
not
these
other
rappin
ass
n*ggas
that
will
show
up
for
a
lil
check.
U
came
to
me
u
shoulda
knew
what
time
it
was
young
man.
U
dont
know
me
either
to
say
im
anything
broski.
So
theres
that.
Ok,
these
are
my
thoughts.

Kid
Cudi

conversation.
