Kid Cudi expressed gratitude for Abloh on Twitter, stating: “I miss my brother so so much. Entergalactic is for you big bro. We did it Virg. We did it, Happy Birthday V.”

Bella Hadid posted a series of personal photos of her and Abloh on her Instagram, with the caption: “Happy Birthday my dear Libra Brother. Nothing has been or will ever be the same.”
