He claims the label was late uploading the project.

Last month, Kid Cudi released his new album INSANO. The project was originally announced last year and passed through numerous release dates before eventually dropping in early January. The album sports a stacked feature list with Travis Scott, Lil Yachty, Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell, XXXTENTACION, and Young Thug all making appearances. But just a month later he's unleashed an entire new project.

NITRO MEGA is a pseudo-deluxe edition of INSANO that presents a full hour of new material spaced across 18 tracks. The album adds Wiz Khalifa, Pusha T, and more to the list of big features. But fans looking to stream the album the moment it dropped found that it didn't arrive on time. A few hours before it was due to drop Cudi took to Twitter in an attempt to explain why it wouldn't be arriving on time. He blamed his label for being late uploading the project, something he was clearly pretty frustrated by. Check out his full tweet on the situation below.
