This past weekend OutKast took over Atlanta for three days with their homecoming "ATLast" show. For each show, a different set of openers were called upon, with Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino and Raury opening for the Friday show.
It seems like OutKast fans were not feeling Cudder's opening set, as the crowd was reportedly quite unresponsive. Reports circulate today saying that because the audience was not into Cudi's performance, Cudder lashed out at them, telling them to "suck my dick." There are a few Vine videos which document Cudi changing the lyrics on "Pursuit Of Happiness" to "suck my dick," and there are also a few comments from fans in attendance describing what happened, namely, one Reddit user said (via Stereogum):
"Hey guys, I was there Saturday night for this show. I saw Raury, Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi, and Outkast.
I’ve been a huge Cudi fan for the longest time, and this shit pissed me off.
The thing is, right before his set, he said something along the lines of “Hey guys, I’m Kid Cudi. I bring only positive energy and am here to open for Outkast. I’m not the main act, I’m just here to warm ya’ll up!”
Then, as he was playing, he slowly got more and more irritated. His first comment was a sarcastic “Thanks to my five fans that are here!”
Then he stops playing his part in Memories (David Guetta) in the middle and says that nobody’s feeling him, and that he was going to stop and just play Pursuit. Then this shit happened when he changed the lyrics. That shit pissed me the fuck off. Disrespectful and whiny as shit. He can’t expect everyone to know his music when he is an OPENER. Not a main act.
There was a different generation there. Not everyone knows who he is, and he needs to know that."
According to another Vine user, the crowd was "terrible" and Cudi decided to cut his set short and leave early.
Watch the videos below to hear the lyric change-up. What do you think of what Cudi did? Was it disrespectful?
