KiD CuDi announced to the world earlier in April that he was officially leaving G.O.O.D. Music, but on good terms. At the time, he even stated that he reached out to Jay-Z for advice on how to approach the hard decisive situation. Even with his departure, he wanted to keep a good standing relationship with the label and especially his mentor, Kanye West. According to CuDi, everything leading up to that phone call to Kanye was one of the hardest times of his life.

The Cleveland-native recently spoke with MTV News about his split from G.O.O.D., but his ability to continue working with Kanye.

These were his comments:

“I wanted to make sure that when I spoke to [Kanye] he understood and I didn’t say anything that would upset him. It’s a shot in the dark telling someone what I had to tell him, but I was overthinking it. I was way off. When I got on the phone and talked, within the first five minutes I was like, ‘Whew. Holy sh–. That was the most stressful 48 hours ever.”

CuDi added, “I overthink shit all the time. I’m just emotional,” while laughing.

He continues:

“In the last email he sent me, he was just like, ‘Yo, come out to Paris and work,’ but I gotta go shoot ‘Need for Speed’ first, I’ma handle that and hopefully he’s still working because I got some time in between so I might jet out and go check him, play him some beats that I been working on. Now that I know he might need my help I might go in the studio and actually try to make some beats with him in mind and see what comes outta that.”

With G.O.O.D. music in his past, CuDi continues to move forward with his career with music the being the main focus on his mind:

I’m gonna try to get this box set out for the holidays. It’ll be the whole entire collection — all of my albums — and then I’m probably gonna include five new jams that didn’t make the album that I feel like everyone still needs to hear, plus I’ll probably do some remixes. I just wanna put out more cool shit now that I’ve got everyone’s attention.”

At press time, Cudi’s third studio album ‘Indicud’ was the last album to be released under G.O.O.D. Music.
