The Beaches have finally met Kid Cudi.

At the Billboard Canada Women of the Year’s sold-out Saturday night (Oct. 18) show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, they linked up with the American rapper and singer backstage.


The group’s frontwoman, Jordan Miller, shared the iconic moment featuring Cudi and pop songwriter Justin Tranter on her Instagram, with the caption: “LA LA LAND.”

During the Billboard Canada Women in Music 2025 celebration, Cudi sent a special video congratulating The Beaches on their historic honour as Women of the Year.

“Keep doing your thing and inspiring people," he shared.

The band also received surprise messages from Elton John, Charlotte Cardin, Arkells and Greta Van Fleet.

Kid Cudi followed The Beaches when the band's new album No Hard Feelings came out in August. Mutual admirers of each other's music, they traded DMs, and The Beaches invited him to the show in L.A. Before the congrats video at Billboard Canada Women in Music, they had never actually met in person.

The Beaches are on tour in support of No Hard Feelings, playing a string of shows across North America. In the comments of the group’s most recent Instagram photo carousel recapping their California shows, Cudi wrote: “Epic show!”

Cardi B Says She Won’t ‘Overthink’ Things Heading Into Next Album: ‘I’m Just Gonna Give It to Y’all’

While Am I the Drama? ended up being seven years in the making and arrived less than three months ago, Cardi B already has plans for the direction of her next album. Cardi hopped on X Spaces on Thursday morning (Dec. 4) to share some insight into her creative process while crafting the long-awaited follow-up to her 2018 full-length debut album, Invasion of Privacy, and what she’s taking from the fan response to her latest and applying to her future work.

Essentially, the Drama songs that made the Grammy-winning rapper stress the most weren’t as well-received as the tracks that came to Cardi with ease.
