M.I.A. says she was removed from Kid Cudi’s tour without prior communication. In her first interview since the decision, she explains that she learns she had been cut through a lack of direct contact rather than an official discussion. According to her account, Kid Cudi does not reach out to her personally, including not contacting her directly or speaking to the relevant parties involved. She adds that he also does not speak to her management, nor does he contact her crew.

The artist describes the situation as unusual, saying he never met her and that his attempts to talk are absent. The comments frame the issue as an unexpected change in tour plans, with M.I.A. focusing on the gap between her expectations of communication and what she says occurred. The reports align on the central claim: M.I.A. says she is cut from the tour and is not contacted beforehand about the decision.
