“Before the Chiefs game, I reached out to him and told him good luck and sent him a song to get him pumped up for the game,” Cudi recalled.
When Meyers asked if the song was new or pre-existing, he clarified, “No, I wrote him a song. I wrote him a love song.” He also shared that he asked Burrow for his jersey afterward, to which the athlete responded, “I’m sending it tomorrow.”
“I got into his car, and he’s all upbeat and he’s like, ‘Great game,’ and I was like, ‘Nah.’ And he said, ‘No, we’ve got to celebrate this,'” Burrow shared during aninterview with Bose. “So then, in my head, I’m like, ‘We did something very cool. We got to this point. It didn’t go the way we wanted it to, but I want to celebrate what we did.'”
While speaking to host Janine Rubenstein on thePEOPLE Every Daypodcast, Cudidiscussed his commitment to maintaining his mental healthwhile also staying ambitious on the cusp of the release ofEntergalactic.
“Even if touring stuff wasn’t going swimmingly and, and all this stuff wasn’t happening, I would still be in a great place,” Cudi told Rubenstein when she asked about his current mental health. “It’s always a lot when you go on the road. But I’ve been in such a great space and so happy with everything that’s been going on and, I’m proud of myself, man. Like, I’m just really proud of myself. More than I’ve ever been in my life.”
