Tuesday morning, Drake stood by the jabs at Kid Cudi he took on "2 Birds, 1 Stone" despite mounting criticism. "Mans need to stop mentioning my name when they get geeked," he wrote on Instagram. "Supposed to be all love out here word to my bro Pablo," he added, perhaps hoping to elicit a show of solidarity from Kanye West, whom Cudi had also called a "fake one" in the same Twitter rant.
Instead, Kanye asked fans who had come to see him perform at the The Forum Tuesday night to "sing for Cudi." As he neared the end of "Waves," he began to sing Cudi's hook from "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1." "Let's sing this one time for Cudi," he urged the fans. "So Cudi, he in rehab right now, but he got a number one song on the radio, and I want you to sing so he can hear it."
Kanye and the fans sang Cudi's part together. The song ended, and Kanye launched into "Touch the Sky." It was a truly touching moment that caused anyone who had skipped the Saint Pablo tour and now watched these clips on Twitter to feel massive pangs of regret.
