Kid Cudi took the time to dedicate a song to late rappers Nipsey Hussle and Mac Miller during his Coachella set last night. Cudi dedicated fan favorite "Pursuit of Happiness" to the rappers.

"This next one, I wanna dedicate this to Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle. And I want y'all to sing this shit as loud as y'all can, promise me," Cudi said before performing the song.

Nipsey Hussle died earlier this month after being shot outside of his clothing store in LA. Mac Miller died last September of an accidental overdose.
