by on October 15th, 2009
A few weeks after the “Fame Kills Tour” with pop singer Lady Gaga and Kanye West was unexpectedly cancelled, Gaga stated that the show must go on and announced Kid Cudi to replace West as her opening act.
According to Gaga, the plans to merge pop with hip-hop fell through following alleged creative differences with West and she subsequently announced plans to tour solo.

watch the video and decide for yourself
Cudi will do good. I wish they had one closer to here.
Anyway, the nigga Cudi is gonna do good. I seen him at a concert like 2 months ago w/ B.o.B.,Asher Roth, and 88 Keys. that shit was tight!The boy is like a “Young Kanye” in the making (and of his time) anyway, IMO. And definitely a gig like this will boost his career even more.
p.s. Pray for our friend Mr. Hamilton, nigga had issues but he made good music.
If anything, Kanye dropped out because of the backlash he was receiving.
Isn’t that “part” of the backlash? and your story is bavkwards: Not only did she say something about it, but they also started loosing ticket sales from “fairweather” fans that were returning ticket from this “backlash”. She initially said “she” was calling it off, so where do you get you’re info from?
When I said a “Young Kanye”, I meant on the terms of being original and futuristic of his time, especially with beats. Not the best lyricist but creative enough to get by. That’s exactly like Kanye was when he first started.Kanye started making hot beats first, “better” rhymes came later. It took him a while to become the rapper he is today,but he definitely brought a new sound to the beats and feel of hiphop.
That’s what she said about it.
She didn’t call the tour off, it was never actually revealed why they called it off, they just said “creative differences” which could mean lots of things, but she wasn’t afraid to tour with him because of the taylor swift thing, i mean, look at the way she dresses,she obviously doesn’t give a fuck what people say/think.
trash me cause I already know you’re going to
Just because your hatin’ ass don’t like it, don’t mean a shit ton of other people didn’t.
Salute!
