In the latest episode of his podcast, Big Bro With Kid Cudi, which aired on September 23 and featured guest Willow Smith, Kid Cudi recounted how the reunion stirred powerful emotions. He described seeing more than 70,000 fans singing along to “Pursuit of Happiness” and performing other songs together like “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” and “Ghost Town.”
