And we wonder why they gave prince of pop to harry lol

Knew from the jump it was about race

Abel the king of pop so who gives af about being the prince.

Tbh i didnt remember if the article said prince or king

The fact that it's still up after a bunch of replies are calling him racist for it

I don't think that the image is directed at The Weeknd or is calling him a monkey. At least I would hope not. No way a staff writer for Rolling Stone would just straight up call one of the biggest musical acts in the world a monkey on Twitter lol would be career and social suicide

Thomas trippin

Its definitely about d**** lmao

The whole chorus is d*** related and its a call back to Bob Dylan, not sure how anything about the song would relate to a magazine.

tom fm

No the f*** it wasnt lmao

f*** would it mean though, he didn't even explain

That's a wild image to use and not even a funny reaction photo

Might be unpopular opinion but Abel should've not responded and let the show drop so people can make their own opinions. He has HBO in his corner too

Now Abel is at the centre of this controversy and Sam Levinson hasn't even responded

It’s a reaction meme lol

I don’t really get what he’s trying to convey with it but saying it’s racist is a big reach

1. That song was definitely not named after the magazine

2. I highly highly doubt a major network like HBO would allow their $75 million show to formulate a publicity stunt involving accusations of sexual assault and rape for promotional purposes

Cravin a lobster roll today man

My assumption is that they posted that as a surprised reaction to The Weeknd responding to the report that Rolling Stone put out about the production of the show The Idol being chaotic and "torture p***"

Basically saying "Oh s***...I didn't think you'd actually care or read what we had to say". Dude very likely didn't even think that deep into posting the picture.

If a racist was bold enough to call a Black A-list celebrity a monkey, they wouldn't do it using a quirky image. They'd just straight up call them a monkey and other slurs.

I watched that clip for the first time……

HBO literally retweeted

People putting way too much f***ing credibility in random ass twitter posters

Theres a scene where he beats the s*** outta the girl and gets an erection i heard

S***s gonna be wild

Wonder if were gonna see abels d***
