Kimmo 80,771 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 No paycheck … no Weeknd We’re told the singer threatened to pull out if he wasn’t paid the same money as West, who was set to rake in $8 million plus a $500,000 production fee. Coachella organizers announced early on Wednesday that The Weeknd, 32, and house music supergroup Swedish House Mafia will be taking over the rapper’s slots on Sunday, April 17, and Sunday, April 24. But a music source told us the deal wasn’t yet done for the “Blinding Lights” singer. The source said, “The Weeknd came in at short notice to take Kanye’s top spot. But Phil Anschutz [who owns the Coachella Festival through AEG Live] wanted to hold on to Kanye’s money and pay The Weeknd far less, just a few million. The festival would pocket the rest.” Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis 8,391 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 How much was Gaga paid? She strikes me as the person that'd take whatever, they probably gave her like 1M because they know she's too nice to contest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 160,488 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Why are they paid that much in the first place I could literally live off of that for the rest of my life in total comfort. That is absurd. You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItWasntLaauv 6,392 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I mean, that’s a fair request (even if it is a butt load of money). If he doesn’t get that amount, it’ll just be a bad look on Coachella’s part. This year’s Coachella is such a mess tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers 29,573 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 There are two justifications I could imagine: 1. Coachella is dealing with massive refunds due to Kanye dropping out (doubt it) and don't have time to properly promote a new headliner. (plus the expense of a new campaign) 2. Coachella doesn't have time to capitalize on merch opportunities because of the shortened window. But honestly, the whole festival and everyone involved can choke as far as I'm concerned because Remember to like and subscribe, and click on the bell icon to get the latest updates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
