I mean, i’m not objecting to Cudi in the slightest but i remain extremely confused by what is occuring here.
I’m not sure either, it looks to be a game, clothes(?) and a song(?) I’m not sure…
Sounds like this Cudi fellow has written a song about star Trek. I hope it’s as good as The Firm’s song about Star Trek. Weird that Paramount would be so into it instead of threatening to sue.

I think they’re OK with it because they did it with an agreement instead of a fan project (?)
The best Star Trek song is First Contact by Swamp Thing, I doubt Cudi will be able to pack as many references into his bars as they managed in that track.
I’ve heard of Kid Cudi, but I’m not familiar with his music. That’s not a reflection on Kid Cudi. I’m not familiar with anyone’s music, as I stopped keeping up with music some time ago. It’s good that Paramount is trying something else to bring in new Star Trek fans. Most of Paramount’s promotion of Star Trek seemed to be preaching to the choir (promoting Star Trek to existing fans of Star Trek). This doesn’t set my heart aflutter like an announcement of a Moopsy plush would, but as a long time Star Trek fan I don’t think I’m the target of this promotion.
Weird, but whatevs I guess lol
This seems like a completely arbitrary marketing campaign or has there been any relation between that musician and Star Trek in the past? No thank you, I am not interested at all.
From last month’s announcement:
"I grew up watching Star Trek with my dad who is single handedly responsible for turning me into a fan,” said Mescudi. “The most important thing to me is to be as authentic as possible. Star Trek’s mission has always been about having a hopeful future and when I was first approached about this project it was the perfect marriage of all the things I believe in – being brave and a hero by doing what’s right and fighting for freedom. I can’t wait to share my love of this incredible franchise with the world.”
