Kid Cudi is a multifaceted artist known for his work as a rapper, songwriter, actor, and fashion designer. Now, he has expanded his creative portfolio by launching a new interview podcast called Big Bro.
The podcast, which debuted earlier this month, has already featured high-profile guests such as Kylie Jenner, Jenna Ortega, Kel Mitchell, and most recently, Wiz Khalifa. Each episode offers a unique blend of music, life experiences, and candid conversations.
In the latest episode, Kid Cudi and Wiz Khalifa engaged in an in-depth discussion about music and life. One particularly interesting moment came when Wiz shared his perspective on how women influence his musical taste. He mentioned that some of his best music discoveries come from the women around him.
“Girls have really good music selection,” Wiz said. “I just ask chicks, ‘What are you listening to?’ … ’Cause I’ll definitely hear some **** that I’ve never heard before.”
Cudi, who has a 16-year-old daughter, agreed with Wiz’s sentiment. He explained that he often asks his wife, Lola Abecassis Sartore, to create playlists for him.
“Girls put you on to a lot,” Cudi said. “Every dude needs to know that, like, girls are the secret to knowing cool ****, you know? They determine if something is cool or not.”
Wiz concurred, adding that men can elevate their taste level by listening to the recommendations of women. Cudi emphasized how valuable it is to have someone in his life who can guide him without needing to search online.
“Like, I don’t have to google. I can just ask my wife,” he said.
As a woman, I have always believed in the power of female influence, especially when it comes to music taste. This particular clip from the podcast has gone viral, amassing over a million views on Instagram.
The conversation has sparked positive reactions from fans, many of whom praised Cudi and Wiz for highlighting the impact of women on culture and taste. This is especially significant given the history of misogyny in the rap industry.
One Instagram user wrote: “Cudi and Wiz saying this is important. A lot of men in the industry think we are just placeholders for beauty and lust.”
Other comments reflected on the experiences of women who feel their contributions are overlooked or stolen by men.
Interestingly, a comment brought up the widely held belief that The Beatles’ success was partly due to the influence of women. This reminded many of a similar statement made by Harry Styles in 2017.
“When asked how he feels about having a fanbase made up primarily of young women, Harry said, ‘Who’s to say that young girls who like pop music – short for popular, right? – have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy? That’s not up to you to say.’”
He continued, “Young girls like The Beatles. You’re gonna tell me they’re not serious? How can you say young girls don’t get it? They’re our future.”
“Teenage girls kind of keep the world going,” he added. “They don’t lie — if they like you, they’re there. They don’t act too cool. They like you, and they tell you, which is sick.”
This conversation highlights a broader truth: women often have a keen sense of what’s trending and what’s meaningful. Their influence extends beyond music into culture, fashion, and more.
