Kid Cudi Is Teasing Something Called the Asterisk Collective and Twitter Is Very Confused

Kid Cudi is sparking a ton of rumours this week after teasing a mysterious new project apparently called the Asterisk Collective.

The rapper took to Twitter earlier this week to create the mystery, posting a cryptic audio clip with the caption "CHANGE IS COMING" and the hashtag #asteriskcollective.

As you'll hear, the clip features a spoken-word message from Cudi, who says: "This is not the world we want. We're rewriting the script because these rules don't apply. We'll be showing up with real people in real places in real ways to inspire positive change."

He adds, "Bravery, courage, and action, uniting to showcase the power of creativity. Let's create a better future together. We are the exception to the rule. We are the Asterisk Collective." At this point, though, it's still unclear what the Asterisk Collective actually is, though several fans have their theories. You can see some of the confused responses — as well as some guesses as to what it all might mean — down below.

Kid Cudi's last studio effort came alongside Kanye West, with the pair releasing their collaborative album Kids See Ghosts.
