Why is Kid Cudi's dress trending?

Kid Cudi’s floral Off-White dress has made headlines since he was spotted on the stage on April 11, 2021.

The singer wore a dress to honor the life of Nirvana’s singer Kurt Cobain, who passed away from suicide in 1994.

Cobain famously wore a floral dress on the 1993 cover of British magazine The Face just a year prior to his death.

Cudi has paid tribute to Cobain in the past, as he sampled the late singer on one of his songs.

What did fans say about Kid Cudi’s dress?

Fans wasted no time complimenting the singer on Twitter for rocking the flower dress with one writing: “this is one of many reasons why cudi is the goat”

Another replied: “some people in these replies so insecure they cant handle a dude wearing a dress.”

A third chimed in: “they can’t accept a black man wearing a dress but when a white guy does it it’s empowering and soft and aesthetic”

However, many fans did have negative things to say about Cudi’s outfit choice as they slammed the rapper for “trying to be edgy.”

One fan wrote: “He never wears dresses but gets on tv and tries to be edgy.”

A second fan replied: “This is The  Industry and this ain’t even half of it..! Soo for y’all that wanna make it Main Stream...smh.. be prepared to do sum thangs..!”

A third said: “Speak sis!   These kids out here can’t see behind it because all they see is the money in the front!   They effeminize these dudes... Soul has been sold!!!”

Many were also slamming Cudi and comparing him to Harry Styles, who wore a dress on the cover of Vogue magazine back in 2020.

One wrote: “y’all rave ab harry styles but when it’s a black man especially one who’s not in the pop industry yall mfs hate it on it”

Another fan said: “first harry now cudi wth”
