Ye just closed out his Texas run with a record breaking night in Dallas, and he did it with Kid Cudi standing right next to him. More than 83,000 people packed AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 7, and the reunion energy was real. For anybody who grew up on these two together, this is the stuff you wait years to see.
The attendance number comes from a press release, as Billboard reported. It was the third Texas show for Ye, which finished off what Billboard called his Texas trifecta.
Cudi Hits the Globe
Cudi came out in a red puffer jacket and joined Ye on top of the spinning globe structure. Jerry’s World lost it. They ran “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1” from The Life of Pablo, then Cudi kept the party going with his “Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix).”
This was the second time the two linked up on stage in a short span. They also reunited in September at Ye’s Chicago homecoming. Two classics, one huge stadium, and a friendship that looks like it is back on solid ground.
Erykah Badu Brought It Home
Cudi was not the only special guest. Dallas native Erykah Badu popped out for a cameo, and you cannot ask for a better hometown moment. The Queen of Neo Soul performed a run of her catalog.
- “Tyrone”
- “Didn’t Cha Know”
- “On & On”
- “Love of My Life”
Ye and Cudi Are Good Again
The two reconciled earlier this year after a friendship that has seen the highest highs and some rough lows over the last two decades. Right now it is in a positive place, and the proof is on stage. Cudi also supported Ye at the Yeezy Season 01 fashion show in Los Angeles last week, where Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Hit Boy were among the people who showed up.
Cudi had a big weekend on his own side, too. Monday, Nov. 9 marks 16 years since Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2010 and features Ye on “Erase Me.” He marked the anniversary on Instagram with a pretty raw message.
“I almost died making this album. But I didnt, so yea. This one holds a special place in my heart cuz I didnt know if I’d finish it.”
He also told fans to blast the album and remember where they were the first time they heard it. Good advice.
What’s Next
Ye has played spot dates around the world for much of 2026 since his Bully album arrived in March and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. He has one more stateside show left this year. That one is Nov. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
After a night like this in Dallas, we are curious what he has planned for Arizona. We will be watching.
The Takeaway
Ye packed a stadium, Cudi climbed back onto that globe, and Erykah Badu reminded everybody who runs Dallas. The old crew is finding its way back, and the fans are loving every minute of it.
