During the interview, the Chicago native made a bold claim: “I done invented every style of music for the past 20 years […] I created The Weeknd‘s genre, Trav[is Scott], Drake — I’ma go ahead and say with all love Future and [Young] Thug also because the autotune album 808s [& Heartbreak].”

“NOBODY LISTENS TO KANYE N THE PROJECTS [O]R THE TRENCHES ‼️IM,A GON HEAD N SAY IT ‘ MY PEOPLE DO NOT RELATE TO YOU’.“
Kid Cudi also appeared to take issue with Ye’s comment. He issued his fans and followers a reminder about his influence on 808s & Heartbreak soon after the aforementioned interview.
In response, he shared a screenshot from his own Wikipedia page, detailing his influence on Kanye’s fourth studio album.
It read: “Kid Cudi’s sound is what inspired and led Kanye West to create his cathartic ‘808s & Heartbreak’ (2008), with West later stating he and Cudi were ‘the originators of the style, kinda like Alexander McQueen is to fashion… Everything else is just Zara and H&M.’
“West also complimented Cudi by saying, ‘His writing is just so pure and natural and important.’”
