    How his team feels about Drake doesn't really matter lol. It's just always felt like Abel has wanted to position himself as the #1 guy from the city. He's definitely tried various things to push/establish that narrative but it's simply never stuck.

    I think the resentment comes from him still feeling like he's under Drake's shadow.

    crazy how abel always puts Drake as the king of the city and there is never resentment

  • nah thread gonna be jokes tho I love this

    Abel doesn’t have the cross over appeal and character that allows him to stick like drake does. Music is amazing, but he lacks whatever Drake has to claim that spot.

    It won’t ever happen anyway, he needs to get over it.

    Eh. Everyone gasses up the guests they bring on stage. Drake called every single person who touched his stage in 2016/2017/2018 the greatest ever, etc. Doesn't really mean s***. That's just s*** you say. Your actions are what matter and Abel's actions have always read as someone trying to be the #1 guy from Canada/Toronto.

    In before @mjpplus says the Weeknd must have texted Drake on their secret-coded 2-way bestie mobile phones to reciprocate Drake's appreciation for him.

    Crine thread already building narratives in their heads to explain away The Weeknd's "resentment" of Drake lmfaooo.

    He definitely has the crossover appeal lol. He's the biggest male popstar of the last few years.

    I think he's tried to outdo Drake commercially several times to set the narrative up that he's surpassed him but it never works.

    I have a theory about why he was extra mad at the Grammys snub and it's because it f***ed up him/his team's plan to make a strong case for him being the #1 guy.

    This s*** is just funny because Drake actually believes Abel thinks of him the same way when he couldn't be more wrong.

    growing up in Toronto never felt cooler thanks to them

    absolutely insane they are both coexisting at the same time, legends on their own paths

  • May 25, 2021

    i think abel is just a popstar - like dua lipa, billie elish and s***.

    Drake on the other hand has massive appeal that transcends music itself. i.e. Larger than life.

    Weeknd would be delusional to think that he could ever come to drake's level at the moment.

    Not only cross over appeal in terms of music but character/personality and history in Toronto with XO.

    People outside of rap would be more inclined to listen to Drakes music based on who he is/history and subject matter than listening to Abels d*** induced trips.

    Though Abel did win an award off of “can’t feel my face” .

    Like my parents would rather put Drake on than anything/most things Abel has put out which is why Abel won’t ever claim that spot.

    Drake did a lot of weird s*** to him I don’t blame him. Drake probably does this cause he knows he did The Weeknd dirty

    Nah for sure. But just find it strange when they’re at the same events/parties together and he doesn’t say anything.

    Dope music but peculiar character.

    In the end they all jealous of Drake tbh

    I wonder if he has real industry friends except for Wayne

    Drake didn’t tag him, so I doubt he’ll repost it tbh
