He sold out an arena? What does that have to do with being as popular as Rihanna? He's literally not as popular as she is. Not in the US. Not in Canada. Not in the rest of the world.

He's not as popular as a star but his music resonates more with the world than Rihanna. Rihanna an icon but she's about hit singles. People don't really swear by her music like that.

Even if you wanna say Rihanna is more popular, Weeknd opening up for her doesn't make sense, he's too big MUSICALLY. His first mixtape is more classic than anything in Rihanna discog. He don't NEED rihanna at all.

I'd understand him doing it if he was gonna get to smash though :smile:

the Weeknd is popular here and probably has some popularity in places overseas, but he CANNOT sell out no stadiums like this tour he was about to go on with her...that's why he joined in the first place, to get his exposure up internationally...Rihanna the highest selling female artist and one of the biggest pop stars in the world...Abel is dope, but he ain't seeing her on that level...

You're wrong. As I said Weeknd doesn't need to be on a Rihanna tour. He selling out 20k sweaters worldwide and he ain't ever done a video interview

His stardom is special and unique. He doesn't need Rihanna at all.

sure he doesn't NEED her, but there's a reason he signed on to her tour in the first place--because she can introduce him to a lot of her fanbase on an international level...

he's good on his own here, which is why he isn't on the North American leg of her tour, but aside from places like London and maybe Paris, he'd have a tough time feeling seats...

Y'all crazy putting the Weeknd on Rihanna's level. He only just broke out with BBTM while Rihanna's been a global pop superstar for over decade, chill brehs.
