We\u2019ll never be homies like we were before. I don\u2019t have any beef with him anymore and I\u2019m not mad at him or anything. It\u2019s just time has gone by. [We are in] different places. It\u2019s all good. I know he loves me. I know that. And I know he respects me as an artist.

It was a tough situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cudi also addressed the backlash to his testimony: \u201cThe backlash was swift. I had a lot of people that supported me, but there were a few that were \u2014 you know \u2014 had some opinions about it. It was interesting because I\u2019m not no street dude. I don\u2019t live by no code, you know? I guess it\u2019s because I\u2019m a rapper, people just threw that on me. But, like, my music has never been about that and I have never tried to pretend I was about that. I\u2019m from the suburbs, baby, you know what I\u2019m sayin\u2019?
