Wale and Kid Cudi have had well documented problems in the past but since they both squashed their beef back in February, the two rappers have collaborated on the track “Focused,” set to be included on the Wale’ upcoming sophomore album Ambition, dropping Stateside November 1st.
This week, MTV got to preview the Maybach Music and G.O.O.D. Music members new track during a listening session in New York City. Speaking to MTV News, Wale said “We’re 23 years old at this time, we’re trying to figure it all out,” he said. “We went from not having sh– to having money at our disposal, so it kind of f—ed up our friendship. He doesn’t smoke as much anymore, but his name is Scott.”
“The last time me and him spoke was Governor’s Island maybe three years ago,” Wale said. “It was a weird exchange. … When you don’t talk to somebody for a long time and you see them on TV and you’re trying to figure them out through music … we bumped into each other, and we spoke, and it was just weird. It was already animosity for me, because I was like, ‘Yo, this is my guy and it’s just weird now.’ Just weird.
“I can’t say that word enough,” Wale continues. “So [later on], it was Drake‘s birthday party in D.C.; he was there. I’m getting off the elevator and I see him. So he was like, ‘What’s up?’ I was like, ‘What’s up?’ And that was it. Next thing I see is the Complex interview. That was maybe like a year after that.”
