“Kid X Was Supposed To Be The Drake Of Cashtime” – K.O

Cashtime Life label co-founder K.O has come out to say that “kid X was supposed to be the Drake of Cashtime” in an interview with Slikouronlife.

"I was literally inspired by the Young Money/Cash Money model. (Kid) X to me was supposed to be the Drake of this situation. By now he was supposed to be bigger than K.O and he was the sole person responsible to make that happen," K.O said in the interview.

This comes after K.O issued a statement addressing Kid X’s departure from the label. Kid X announced that he was leaving Cashtime this month on Live Amp.

According to K.O, the South African Music Awards nominated 3 Quarter Pace EP was supposed to be a full length release but couldn’t due to quality reasons.

"Maybe he thought we were shooting down his idea but it was us basing it on what we heard in the demo. The biggest thing was that I wouldn't allow someone to go out there and be burnt on my watch," K.O said. The demo was cleaned up by Kid X's team and was released as a SAMA-nominated EP. 

Kid X who joins female rapper Moozlie as the second artist to leave the label this year has already released a single thanking Cashtime for the time he spent at the label.
