He's just the face of an entire team of people working on the music together. He just takes all the money and credit.

    Word to The Weeknd fr boy was smart to not sign to OVO
    I recall round 2012-2013 when The Weeknd buzz was heating up and all the talk was about how Drake was gonna sign this kid that can sing like crazy and that the two would combine forces on some OVOXO collab album.
    "OVO n that XO is everything that you believe in" had ppl hype asf then it never happened as we all saw The Weeknd go on to blow the fuck up w his own XO label.
    Drake is a colonizer and a thief. I remember reading Weeknd recall giving half his album to Drake for the Take Care era:
    "I gave up almost half of my album. It's hard," The Weeknd told Rolling Stone. "I will always be thankful - If it wasn't for the light he shined on me, who knows where I'd be, And everything happens for a reason."

There’s no such thing as an ovo sweatshop lol. His best acts have good careers, BUT ALSO have written hits with drake.. which they get paid handsomely for in royalties. You never hear anyone complaining. The weeknd did the right thing because he’s a major act. OVO doesnt typically sign major acts, which in my eyes is a great thing. They give artist in a more niche market backing like indie labels do. Everyone here is just biased and clearly has no idea of the inner workings of the industry. Who’s not doing features??? It’s not his fault everything he touches blows up lmao

    I feel like situations specifically like this are why creators of all types are told to be very careful about how to respond when approached by other creators. The initial approach tells you a lot about what to expect going forward. That's why it's so important to be able to differentiate between the questions "Can I?" And "Do you want me to?" Because though the subject and point are the same, the intent is vastly different, and the phrasing is both intentional and usually practiced.
    The point is to ask questions. Ask as many questions as possible.

    Drake did the same thing with to DRAM with Cha Cha which was his first hit. He stole it and made hot line bling. Chacha was way better but after drake stole the sound and made a stupid amount of money on it, im guessing Dram had to put out a slightly different version of his original song which wasn't as good. I don't know why he had to do that though. Him and DRAM had major beef about that.

    I’m just so glad he’s finally going down. I side eyed him ever since that Millie interview came out but people kept listening to his music
