ABOUT THE WEEKND:
Filtering R&B and pop through an ambitious widescreen lens, The Weeknd took over popular music and culture on his own terms. The multi-platinum and 7x Diamond certified star is one of the world’s most listened-to artists on Spotify, boasting 111 million monthly listeners and holding the record for the highest number of monthly listeners for over two years. In 2023, the Guinness Book of World Records named him “The Most Popular Artist in the World.” His 2020 album “After Hours” is the #1 most streamed R&B album of all time, followed by his 2016 album “Starboy” at #2. His record-breaking single “Blinding Lights” went RIAA-certified Diamond and was named the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist.”
Alongside impressive music stats, he’s Emmy and Oscar nominated and has graced the covers of TIME, Vanity Fair, W, Forbes, Variety, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, and GQ. His television performances include SNL, the 2020 Super Bowl, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, the MTV VMAs, the Grammys, and the AMAs. In 2022, he launched his first of three menacing mazes at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. His sold-out global 2022-2024 stadium tour has earned nearly half a billion dollars, with more dates to come.
The Weeknd serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and was named Humanitarian of the Year by BMAC. From 2020 to now, he has donated over $9 million to various charities. This includes $2 million to support WFP’s emergency food and nutrition assistance in the most food-insecure regions of Ethiopia and $4.5 million to help WFP provide over 18 million loaves of bread to feed families in Gaza through his XO Humanitarian Fund, established in partnership with World Food Program USA. His continuous record-breaking charts, sales, and streams, headlining the biggest festivals and selling out stadiums globally, including the 2020 Super Bowl, along with his mysterious public persona, solidify The Weeknd as one of the most compelling and significant artists of the 21st century.
ABOUT PLAYBOI CARTI:
In just a few short years, rapper Playboi Carti has amassed over 31 billion streams worldwide, with a global appeal that has steadily placed him within the upper echelon of new stars. Carti has been unstoppable since the release of his 2017 single “Magnolia,” as its meteoric rise garnered cosigns from Beyoncé and features on series like Atlanta. His self-titled album has accumulated nearly 8 Billion streams to date after debuting at number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart where it spent 63 weeks. The following year, Carti dropped his album Die Lit, debuting at Number 3 on the Billboard 200, boasting collaborations like Lil Uzi Vert on “Shoota,” “Poke It Out” with Nicki Minaj, “Love Hurts” with Travis Scott and many more. The album has nearly 9.8 Billion global streams to date, and spent a total of 111 weeks on the Billboard 200. In April of 2020, Playboi Carti returned with track “@MEH,” and on Christmas day, he landed his first #1 album on Billboard’s 200 Chart with Whole Lotta Red, which features the likes of Future & Kid Cudi, and has amassed a staggering 8.8 million global streams to date. The album sold 100,000 units and received 160 million global streams within its first week. Whole Lotta Red trended #1 upon its release on Twitter, and tracks from the album held 3 out of the top ten trending spots at YouTube including #1 upon release.
Playboi Carti took over 2024 with strong new music releases and stellar performances both domestically and internationally. His collaborations have seen great success including “CARNIVAL” with Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and Rich the Kid, reaching no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Carti’s collaboration with Travis Scott on their song “FE!N” peaked at number 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and the duo performed the track together on Saturday Night Live. Playboi Carti was also featured on “Timeless” with The Weeknd, “I LUV IT” with Camila Cabello, “TYPE SHIT” with Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott, and “Popular” with The Weeknd and Madonna.
Now, with the release of his long-awaited 30-track fourth studio album, MUSIC, Carti has once again proven himself to be at the forefront of the industry. With features from Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Skepta, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug and more, the album quickly rose to the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 where it spent a total of three weeks and made its mark as his second #1 album. Garnering 799M global streams worldwide and selling 298K units in its first week in the US, Carti joined Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen to become the third artist, and the first rapper, to ever have 30 tracks debut on the Billboard Hot 100. On the heels of this immense success, Carti then released the deluxe version of the album, MUSIC – SORRY 4 DA WAIT, with four additional new tracks. Following the immense impact of MUSIC, Carti closed out Rolling Loud California with a stellar headlining set where he brought out The Weeknd and Skepta to perform tracks “RATHER LIE,” “Timeless,” and “TOXIC”. With a constant string of hits and impressive performances, Playboi Carti does not miss.
Carti also joined forces with The Weeknd to give fans a surprise performance of “Timeless” at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, and performed hit track “Like Weezy” live at the BET awards. Refusing to give up the momentum, he joined The Weeknd on his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which he will continue on through September. The pair sold out four nights at SoFi Stadium, and have stops left in Atlanta, Houston and more.
ABOUT SAMRA ORIGINS
Samra Origins was created by multi-platinum recording artist Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye as a celebration of both heritage and togetherness. Named in honor of his mother, Samra, the brand reflects the warmth of Ethiopian culture, where coffee was first discovered and perfected, and expands it into a modern ritual of connection for friends, family, and communities around the world. At its core, Samra Origins is about more than what’s in the cup; it’s about the shared moments and bonds that coffee inspires.
The brand launched in 2023 with a collaboration with Blue Bottle Coffee, introducing a portfolio of whole bean blends, exquisite Ethiopian single-origin coffees, and instant coffee; crafted for exceptional quality and designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life. Alongside its coffees, Samra Origins developed a line of accessories, including brewing machines, tumblers, mugs, and apparel, inviting people to make coffee a beautiful part of their daily rituals.
In 2025, Samra Origins partnered with Nespresso to release the Togetherness Blend in the U.S. and Canada. Made with lightly roasted African Arabicas featuring notes of honeyed sweetness and woody character, the blend represented the brand’s mission to bring people closer through coffee. This September, the journey continues with the global launch of the limited-edition Tanzania Blend, a 100% washed Arabica sourced from the fertile slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. With each release, Samra Origins honors Ethiopia as the birthplace of coffee while building something even larger: a global community inspired by connection, generosity, and the joy of sharing coffee together.
