Also notice how ever since The Weeknd got signed, alot of shyt for him has slowed down significantly. Sometimes signing directly to a label jus aint the move. Them white executive cacs dont kno how market a arist the same way a fellow artist in your same age range can.
Imo I think The Weeknd ditching Drake was a pretty bone head move. Alot of times in the music industry being loyal helps alot in the long run. Alot of them suits aint got no soul, its best sticking with someone who at least understands you
