In case you missed it, over the weekend, during his appearance as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live, Grammy-winning rapper Kid Cudi wore something that had the whole internet buzzing: a white, floral-print dress. 

Designed by fashion mogul Virgil Abloh for his luxury label Off-White, Cudi rocked the instantly-iconic frock while performing his track "Sad People," and in a statement on Twitter, the 37-year-old said the style choice was an homage to the late, great Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

"Virgil designed the dress for me. I told him I wanted to show love to Kurt w a floral print sundress and this man made a masterpiece," he wrote, sharing the story of the dress's creation with fans. "Thank You @virgilabloh ur a fuckin genius!! Love you man we did it!!!"

While Kid Cudi did face some backlash from close-minded viewers (because homophobia and misogyny still run rampant, unfortunately), the overwhelming response was positive, with many praising the "Pursuit of Happiness" rapper for sticking a middle finger to gender roles and toxic masculinity while also paying tribute to another music legend.

We have no choice but to stan!
