What Kid Cudi believed was a friendly conversation over dinner turned into a public dispute once Ebro Darden brought parts of it to his show. Cudi objected to the exchange being treated as interview material, telling the longtime media personality their conversation was private and that he had lost his respect. The issue reportedly stemmed from a dinner, where Cudi and Ebro happened to be seated next to each other. Ebro later discussed their interaction on The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show, with the episode specifically addressing their dinner and Cudi’s relationship with Ye.
“Ebro, u were sitting next to me at dinner (not planned) and we were having a private conversation,” Cudi wrote on X. “I was being friendly cause u were sitting next to me. Not an interview.” Cudi accused Ebro of using the exchange to generate a story. “U are thirsty, and I think u speaking about our conversation publically is classless and I dont respect u any longer,” he continued. “I spoke to u thinking u really just wanted to talk. U just wanted a story.”
The rapper also said the experience changed how he plans to interact with journalists outside formal interviews. He singled out Zane Lowe while making his frustration with Ebro clear. “I learned a valuable lesson today, never talk to journalists unless its for a actual interview,” Cudi wrote. “Good thing Zane [Lowe] has a million times more class than you. None of what we talked about at Apple Park is a news clip. Ill just talk to him.”
He ended that message by asking Ebro not to discuss him publicly again.

Kid Cudi And Ebro Darden Quickly Make Peace
The dispute arrived shortly after Cudi’s reconciliation with Ye became a topic of conversation among Ebro’s own co-hosts. Earlier this month, Peter Rosenberg criticized the enthusiastic reception Ye received during his Chicago shows, prompting Cudi to defend his decision to reconnect with his longtime collaborator. Cudi joined Ye onstage at Soldier Field on Sept. 4, marking their first performance together in years.
Cudi told Rosenberg at the time that Ye was “my brother” and pointed to nearly two decades of friendship between them. He also said he believed Ye’s apology to him was sincere. Meanwhile, whatever anger Cudi had toward Ebro did not last long. Soon after posting his criticism, he returned to X with an update that the two had spoken directly.
“Ebro just apologized sincerely and I accept it,” Cudi wrote. “All good now. Enjoy yall day!! 🙏🏾❤️🔥” Cudi did not elaborate on their conversation or say whether Ebro would address the misunderstanding publicly.
