The rapper performed “Sad People” and “Tequila Shots” last night.
During the performance, Cudi wore a floral dress, which many pointed out was a tribute to the late Kurt Cobain.
Cudi’s dress paid homage to one of the floral dresses Kurt wore during a 1989 live performance, according to Vogue.

“Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I’m a heterosexual…big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn’t matter, either,” Kurt told the Los Angeles Times in 1993.
And in Cudi’s other SNL performance, of “Tequila Shots,” the rapper paid tribute to Kurt’s iconic MTV Unplugged performance, donning a green cardigan.
