KID Cudi has responded to rumors that he is at war with former friend Timothee Chalamet.
And fans seem to believe it has to do with the actor’s new girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Cudi and Timothee, 27, used to be close buddies, cementing their relationship by being friends on social media.
But eagle-eyed fans spotted that Cudi, 39, had suddenly unfollowed Kylie’s new boyfriend, Timothee, on Instagram.
Cudi is also tight with Kylie’s ex Travis Scott, and many fans figured the Day ‘n’ Night rapper was forced to make a choice.
Fans debated the conspiracy theory online, after one social user shared the comment: “Kid Cudi unfollowed Timothee Chalamet on Instagram and Twitter!
“Cudi is close with Travis Scott, so this 100% has to do with Kylie Jenner.”
“This is so sad! Timothee and Cudi were very close for years!” they concluded.
Others also expressed their shock.
“He chose Travis over Timothee,” one person suggested. “There’s something going on with this whole Kylie situation.”
Another added: “Timmy always said how much he admired Cudi. Having said that, I’d never take Travis’ side. He’s not exactly a shining example of a human.”
While a third begged: “A friendship ending over Kylie Jenner? Timothee, wake up. It’s not worth it, dude.”
Hours after the accusations, Cudi tried to bat them down on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“What da hell? I spoke to him a few weeks ago,” Cudi tweeted. “Timmy is my brother til the end of time and beyond. I will always ALWAYS love him.
“We are good. Trust me.”
However, Cudi still hasn’t resumed following Timothee yet.
KYLIE’S BEEF
Social media sleuths have also speculated there might be bad blood between exes Travis and Kylie.
Fans claimed The Kardashians star “either blocked or unfollowed” her former partner.
Travis does not appear on the list of 90 Instagram profiles that Kylie follows.
Another fan noted Kylie’s name does appear on the list that Travis follows and assumed she “just unfollowed” him.
The reality star and her baby daddy share two children: Aire one, and Stormi, five.
The former couple called it quits in December 2022 but decided to co-parent their kids.
HEATING UP
Kylie’s supposed shade at Travis came as her new romance with the Dune actor has heated up.
On September 4, Timothee and the Hulu star could not keep their hands off each other at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The couple watched Beyonce perform during the third and final night of her Los Angeles stop during the Renaissance World Tour.
In a steamy video obtained by TMZ, Timothee and Kylie had a makeout session in the star-studded VIP section.
They looked smitten with each other as they chatted and kissed during the singer’s performance.
The mother-of-two wore a skintight strapless black dress and sported leather thigh-high boots.
The movie star went for a casual look with his black baseball cap and matching jacket.
While the pair was seen passionately kissing at the concert, Travis was also in attendance as he danced and smiled in the crowd.
Travis narrowly missed them while hanging out with the famous likes of Jay Z, Swizz Beatz, and Alicia Keys at the concert.
A Hollywood insider – who has had extensive dealings with the young actor – told The U.S. Sun that the relationship is much more than a “passing fancy” for Timothee.
The source said: “Timothee and Kylie are finally starting to see the chain reaction they’ve created by getting together in real-time.
“For Kylie, it’s created a new level of respect and opened doors for her that were sealed shut when she would date rappers, and for Timothee, he has access to a whole different level of power and wealth than he’s ever been familiar with.”
