Kid Cudi has hit back at an online troll who made a bizarre claim over his 2021 Saturday Night Live appearance.
The rapper, 39, took to X/Twitter on Tuesday to address the comments of a user named Isaac, who referred to Cudi’s performance of his track Sad People in a floral print dress as “an illuminati humiliation ritual”.
“Dear Issac u silly stupid lil person and all people under this post. Its the start of a new year and I got time for muthaf – as like u today,” the Day ‘n’ Nite star wrote. “This post is mad f-in lame of u and sad. A black man cant express himself and be confident AND successful with out it being some conspiracy. My success was givin to me by God with the help of my many angels.”
He added, “This moment was a proud moment for me, a shinin moment for all people who express themselves in their art. I felt free and alive, it inspired people and nothing u stupid simple a-es say can take that away from me. Happy New Year u f-in simps.”
The rapper has noted on many occasions since his SNL performance that the dress was an homage to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who often wore dresses onstage.
Kid Cudi is set to release his ninth studio album, Insano, on 12 January.
