A new version of Kid Cudi’s 2024 album INSANO has quietly surfaced on streaming platforms, and fans quickly noticed one major change: the track “RAGER BOYZ” featuring Young Thug has been removed.
The update was first spotted by THUGGERDAILY on X, who posted about the missing song on Thursday, July 17. As of now, the track has been scrubbed from Spotify and Apple Music, and the entire project is nowhere to be found on Tidal.
Originally released in January 2024 via Republic and Wicked Awesome Records, INSANO featured a stacked guest list including ASAP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Pharrell, XXXTentacion, and Young Thug. On “RAGER BOYZ,” Thug delivered a verse that touched on his ongoing legal troubles surrounding the YSL RICO case.
The reason behind the removal of “RAGER BOYZ” from INSANO hasn’t been confirmed, but it arrives amid apparent tension between Kid Cudi and Young Thug. The album’s Wikipedia page even suggests that personal issues between the two may have sparked the decision.
Back in May, Young Thug publicly called Cudi a “rat” after the rapper testified in Diddy’s ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial. During the trial, prosecutors claimed Diddy set Cudi’s car on fire and broke into his home, allegedly furious over Cudi’s past relationship with Cassie Ventura.
Thugger took to X with a since-deleted post, writing, “Dam cudi a rat lol.”
While Cudi didn’t directly respond, media personality Touré stepped in to defend him, saying Thug misunderstood the term “rat.”
“He is completely misunderstanding what snitching is, what being a rat is,” Touré explained. “To be a snitch, which is a huge thing in hip-hop, means we committed a crime together, or at least I am aware of the crime you committed because we are friends, and then I told the state what you did probably because I want to mitigate the problem for me. That’s snitching.”
