Kid Cudi Nabs Virgil Abloh For "Leader Of The Delinquents" Announcement


Kid Cudi is releasing an exclusive Virgil Abloh-designed t-shirt for his new single “Leader Of The Delinquents.”

After four long years, Kid Cudi officially returned with his new single “Leader of the Delinquents.” He also worked hand-in-hand with Travis Scott to form a brand new rap group called The Scotts, releasing their self-titled debut single and earning his first-ever #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Needless to say, it’s been a big year for Kid Cudi so far.

As he continues to work on his upcoming album Entergalactic, the Cleveland-born rap icon just announced a major collaboration with Virgil Abloh to supplement the release of his latest single.

Available for a limited time, the “Pulling Strings” t-shirt is officially available on Kid Cudi’s website, designed by the ultra-talented Virgil Abloh. Working with the creative director of Off-White and Louis Vuitton, Cudder also showed off a vinyl, disc and cassette design, which will also release on his webshop.

The sketch by Abloh references an iconic Kid Cudi moment, which fans will instantly recognize. 

The t-shirt is going for $50, which seems like a fair price considering the design. 

In addition to these announcements, the rapper also dropped a vibrant lyric video for “Leader of the Delinquents” last week. He will be releasing his new album within the next two years as he continues to perfect it.

Recently, Jaden caught up with Complex and spoke about his relationship with Kid Cudi and whether or not the two artists planned on joining forces in the studio again. “Cudi is my mentor in life and that’s my big bro forever and I’m always here for him for whatever he needs,” Jaden stated. “Cudi is such an important and powerful person in the world. I would love to do a million things with him, but I’m sure that something’s going to come around for us again. Besides the collab on my last album that we did, which was a dream come true for me. To have that song with Cudi was really just such a dream come true. So I’m excited.”

Jaden also declared that he “loves everything” the Ohio rapper releases, but he added, “I think the ‘Leader of the Delinquents,’ that’s one of my favorite Cudi songs that has been released in a long, long time.”
