Kid Cudi drops new single 'Grave' ahead of upcoming album 'Free'
To accompany the release, Cudi also shared an official music video for Grave, directed by Samuel Bayer, an acclaimed director known for his work with bands such as Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, and Blind Melon. Earlier this year, Cudi introduced Free with its first single, Neverland, which was paired with a short film of the same name. The film was directed by Ti West and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Cudi's 2024 achievements have solidified his legacy, with his hit Day 'N' Nite (Nightmare) earning RIAA diamond certification, making his debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day the first 2000s hip-hop album to achieve multiple diamond singles. Last year, he released Insano, his ninth studio album, followed by the deluxe version Nitro Mega.
As Cudi continues to explore new musical territories, fans await to see how this latest shift resonates with his audience. While some may question the blending of pop and rock elements, his loyal fanbase remains enthusiastic about his evolving sound.

New Taylor Swift music hint deleted—fans demand answers
Taylor Swift fans were sent into a frenzy on July 15 after a report hinted at the possibility of a new album—only for that hope to be dashed after a subtle yet significant edit. The buzz began when music industry site Hits Daily Double published a piece referencing 'seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set,' suggesting that Republic Records was bracing for a major Swift release. Given that Swift's last original album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024, fans had been eagerly awaiting a follow-up. Swifties, already speculating about re-recordings and surprise releases, took the mention as a signal that a new Taylor Swift album could be on the horizon. However, shortly after the article was published, the line was edited to simply read, 'And there's always Taylor,' dampening the excitement and raising questions about whether the initial claim had been premature or misinformed. The quiet retraction suggests someone from Swift's camp or Republic Records may have clarified that there is no immediate release planned. With Swift recently buying back her masters, the timeline for new re-recordings has also become unclear. 🚨| HITSDD refers to 'seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set' in their latest article!! — Taylor Swift Updates (@TSUpdating) July 15, 2025 🚨Hits Daily Double has edited the article mentioning rumblings of a new Taylor Swift project coming soon -It now says 'And there's always Taylor' — GAV #1 FOTS STAN (@gavbreakfavtoys) July 15, 2025 While the edit may have disappointed fans, it also reaffirms Swift's ever-present dominance in the industry—even a passing mention of her name can spark widespread speculation. For now, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled, but it seems a new Taylor Swift album is not confirmed… yet.

Kid Cudi marries Lola Abecassis Sartore in France
Kid Cudi has married fashion designer Lola Abecassis Sartore in a stunning ceremony on the French Riviera, just weeks after making headlines for testifying in the Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial. The wedding took place on June 28 at Cap Estel in Èze, a private venue known for its sweeping views of the Mediterranean. The ceremony comes during a transformative year for the rapper, who recently revealed in court that his car was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail following a past relationship with Cassie Ventura. Now, he's celebrating love and new beginnings. Cudi, born Scott Mescudi, met Sartore in 2018 during Virgil Abloh's debut Louis Vuitton show, a moment that sparked both a romance and creative bond. In December 2023, he proposed in Kyoto, Japan, and the couple shared the news online in April. The wedding was filled with personal tributes, including a heartfelt performance by Cudi of two unreleased songs from his upcoming album FREE, which he says is largely inspired by Sartore. The designer wore a handcrafted lace gown by close friend Alain Paul, while Cudi donned multiple custom Saint Laurent looks, including a crystal-studded top for the after-party. Sartore, now head of design at ERL, previously worked with Abloh and Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton. She and Cudi kept their relationship mostly private until this year, though she's been by his side through recent highs and lows. On Instagram, Cudi called her his 'ride or die,' adding, 'Next we need this baby… not joking.'
