It Looks Like Kanye West & Kid Cudi Have Something Cooking

Kanye West was in Japan yesterday, visiting his old friend and Graduation cover designer Takashi Murakami.

He also brought another old friend, his frequent collaborator Kid Cudi, along for the trip.

Murakami, who also did the animation for 'Ye's 'Good Morning' video, shared a photo of the meeting on IG.

Long time no see @kidcudi and #kanyewest. Thank you for coming to my studio. It was fire

In the comments of the post, there were multiple references to something called Everybody Wins, which is coming on December 31.

Is that the date for 'Ye's new album, which he was allegedly working on somewhere in the mountains of Utah?

If it is, what's Cudi's role in it?

Both artists have had some pretty serious mental health issues as of late, so they would have yet another thing to bond over.
