Now that HBO has canceled the second season of The Weeknd's polarizing series The idolthe Canadian singer will have a lot of time on his hands, so it only makes sense that he'll be back in the studio to continue to keep a handle on his day job.
Back on the music scene, The Weeknd links up with Madonna and Playboi Carti for the visuals on “Popular,” where he stays in an empty mansion overseas while Madonna builds a frozen grill and toned 65-year-old body in her apartment suite. Can't say we saw this collaboration coming.
Meanwhile, Maino drops a gem from his vault as he drops a clip for “Poetry” that finds him and Young Thug (yes, Young Thug) cruising the streets in the back of a Benz on the soundstage with their peoples behind them. With Thugger being locked up for years, you have to wonder how long ago this video was filmed.
