Cudi’s 2018 collaborative album with Kanye West, ‘Kids See Ghosts’, contains a sample of Cobain’s posthumously-released solo track ‘Burn The Rain’.

In a previous interview with GQ, Cudi explained that Cobain had “always been an inspiration” to him, adding: “I try to use him as my muse whenever I can.”

Daniel Johnston died in September of last year after suffering a suspected heart attack. He was 58 years old.
