Cudi’s creative chapter gets even sweeter as his wife learns to produce and might shape the soundtrack of his next era.

Kid Cudi is giving us a story that feels like music and love literally growing in the same studio. The Cleveland artist, beloved for giving voice to feelings most of us hide, just dropped a gem of an update on social media. His wife, Lola Abecassis Sartore, is trying her hand at making beats and the results are reportedly “fire.” That might sound casual, but it is the kind of intimate, creative moment that could ripple through Cudi’s next album in a big way.

Cudi shared that Sartore, a Paris-based fashion designer turned potential producer, has been experimenting with the Orchid beat-making device. He said he was so impressed that he plans to sit down with her in the studio to go deeper into crafting drum patterns and mastering equipment together. His vibe online was pure joy, not ego. This feels less like an artist name-dropping and more like someone genuinely hyped about watching someone he loves discover a new creative voice.

This matters because Cudi has gained a reputation not just as an iconic rapper and singer but also as someone inherently honest and introspective in his artistry. His last album, Free, came out in August 2025 as a deeply personal statement that leaned into pop and alternative rock influences and was shaped by his emotional state at the time. The project came after a long, rich career that included boundary-pushing work like Insano (Nitro Mega) and emotionally raw standouts such as “Neverland.”

Now imagine that emotional core mixed with the fresh energy of Sartore entering the production world. In an industry where producers are still overwhelmingly male, seeing a woman break into beat-making alongside one of Hip Hop’s most beloved figures is exciting on a cultural level as well. It echoes the larger movement of women redefining production spaces and adds an extra layer to Kid Cudi’s typically heartfelt narrative.
