XXXTentacion has been enlisted for Kid Cudi’s new album, and fans are in utter disbelief.

In his short-lived career, he released two studio albums, including Skins. Posthumously, several records have been released, including a compilation and a collaborative mixtape. Reportedly, he’s sold more than 75 million records.

Now, XXXTentacion’s legacy lives on with a forthcoming Kid Cudi collaboration titled “X & Cud” on Cudi’s brand new album.

Kid Cudi’s new album is titled Insano and drops everywhere on Friday, January 12. The album features collaborations with Travis Scott, Pharrell, Young Thug, Lil Yachty, DJ Drama, A$SAP Rocky, and Lil Wayne.

While those big names give weight to the project, it’s XXXTentacion’s inclusion that has fans shocked and confused. One fan went as far as to say that AI could be behind the collab. “The only thing that can explain him still being in artist’s albums is AI tech,”wroteone fan on Twitter/X.
