The Weekend reveals his complete story from A to Z. When we say A, we mean from the Toronto days, his early journey with Drake and the rest of the OVO squad, particularly Oliver El-Khatib who was “the one vouching for [him].” “Spend just five minutes with [The Weeknd], though, and he reveals himself: sweet, soft-spoken, surprisingly earnest.
