The Weeknd has been very vocal on Twitter as of late, and he has threatened to pull out of Coachella if he doesn’t get the same amount of money Kanye was getting.
The Weeknd will not take a pay cut and sources said, “Finally, on Wednesday—faced with the prospect of a second headline act pulling out of Coachella at the last minute—Anschutz’s company caved and agreed to pay The Weeknd the same money.” The Weeknd’s pay for Coachella will be $8.5 million, which was the same amount Kanye was getting paid before he pulled out.
