Kanye West's Live Tribute to Kid Cudi Is a Tear-Jerker: Watch
At a Saint Pablo Tour stop in L.A. last night, Kanye West gave a massively moving tribute to Kid Cudi, who recently publicly sought treatment for depression, suicidal urges and anxiety. "So Cudi, he in rehab right now, but he got a No. 1 song on the radio, and I want you to sing so he can hear it," Yeezy said.
Kanye took an instrumental from one of The Life of Pablo's most viscerally emotional tracks, "Waves," which features unfuckwithable mmmms and oooohs from Cudi, and sang Cudi's 2016-defining "beautiful morning" vocals from TLOP's "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" on top.
