The Weeknd is teasing Travis Scott's new album.

The Weeknd is one of the biggest artists in the world at this point. Unfortunately, he is getting quite a bit of criticism for his new show The Idol. Overall, critics find the show to be way too sexualized. Moreover, Sam Levinson isn't exactly everyone's favorite showrunner at this point. Either way, Abel is going to be just fine. His music career continues to be extremely successful and there he has a new era planned out for all of his adoring fans. That said, there is no denying that The Idol's failures with critics probably sting a little bit.

Aside from this new HBO show, it appears as though The Weeknd is gearing up for an appearance on Travis Scott's new album, UTOPIA. In case you haven't noticed, Travis has been traveling with body guards who have a UTOPIA briefcase attached to their wrist with handcuffs. Well, while appearing at an event in Cannes this week, Abel had the same setup. In the images posted below, you can see his bodyguard with the briefcase. Ultimately, this can only mean one thing: The Weeknd is on UTOPIA.

The Weeknd Hints At His Feature

Travis Scott has been teasing this album for years. However, it has taken a long time to come out. Ultimately, it is easy to see why this was the case. Following the disaster at Astroworld Festival, it made sense for Travis to take a break. Now, however, he is back, and his fans are very curious as to what kind of album he is going to make. With The Weeknd involved, there is no doubt that we are about to get a very spirited feature that fans will adore.

Some are claiming that UTOPIA will be out on June 23rd. Although, this is just conjecture at this point. It is going to be up to Travis Scott to determine when he will be dropping his project. Let us know what you think of a potential The Weeknd feature, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
