Kid Cudi was the musical guest on SNL last night, appearing on the show to play a pair of tracks off his 2020 album, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen.
For his performances of “Tequila Shots” (above) and “Sad People,” Cudder paid tribute to the late Kurt Cobain with his outfit choices. For the former, Kid Cudi donned a green sweater a la MTV Unplugged with a t-shirt featuring the late, great SNL alum Chris Farley, and he hit the stage for the second time while wearing an Off White floral print dress designed by Virgil Abloh.
Cudi was also featured in the sketch “Weird Little Flute,” alongside Pete Davidson, Chris Redd, and Timothée Chalamet.
Check out Kid Cudi’s performance of “Sad People” and his skit below.
