Did Khalid replace The Weeknd as the token black artist that caters to white people

[TOAD99]

Khalid just makes music for the kids. My daughter loves him. Took her to see him in concert last month and he put on an amazing show. He can sing much better than his radio hits let on. He's just a fun humble artist

Just because white people enjoy him doesn't mean he makes white music. White people have been loving black music since they first heard it

Co-sign, went to a concert because a friend got a free ticket last month and he put on a great show

Dude can sing honestly and like @Booksnrain said dude seems humble and lowkey, even with outfits

I like The Weeknd too, especially when he was on his junkie shyt, both artists deserve their props

Black people made Abel famous PERIOD

You literally have no idea what you're talking about

did i say white people made him famous ?

no, i said his shyt was marketed towards hipster whites.

just like black people can like Lizzo but she is marketing towards white girls

 

[Hey_zeus]

They both make pop music

Lizzo doesn’t make music for white people she makes music for black women/sistah girl but white women love obese sassy black women that don’t threaten them physically.

I love Lizzo but I am not for obese and proud movement.

Ya but weekend it’s straight white hipster/white girl type music.

I think what the thread meant to say is that Khalid has a cornball demeanor...

I think most of us can agree with that ...

Then why do they love Beyoncé?

:Ray_J_1:How was one of his first mixtapes, which wasnt initially released on any kind of major label, marketed towards white people???

Why do yall love to speak on shyt when yall clearly have absolutely NO IDEA what youre talking about??

Abel released those first 3 mixtapes for free under his own label that had no marketing or distribution budget at the time so no they WERE NOT "marketed to hipster whites"

Yall love embarrassing yourselves on here sheesh

Never heard a single black person listen to lizzo before white people told yall she was a pop star
