The cult-like fan base of Ohio rap star Kid Cudi got hugely disappointed by his recent announcement that he won’t be releasing any new songs until 2020.

The rapper, who is famous for his ability to inspire a seldom seen level of devotion from his fans due to his pioneering work and his openness about his mental health struggles, hasn’t released an album since Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ in 2016.

Last Friday, Cudi updated his fans via Twitter about his plans, saying that he has been ‘mad busy’ and that he has a lot of new exciting stuff for them, so they should stay tuned.

The superstar made it clear that he will not be going on a solo tour in the near future but that he would make an appearance on the festival scene.

Concerning the topic of new songs, the Cleveland native said that there will definitely be new music next year, explaining that he plans to work really hard for the latter part of 2019 but is in no rush produce anything new right now. In addition, the rapper said that he doesn’t want to drop new albums every year anymore and he needs to give himself time to do other things and relax more.
