    The Weeknd made a guest appearance in a new episode of The Simpsons, which aired last night (March 20). Abel Tesfaye voiced an animated character called Orion Hughes, a child influencer who owns the fictional skate brand ‘Slipreme’. In the episode, titled ‘Bart the Cool Kid’, Hughes helps Bart become cool, and Homer ends up rallying local dads to adopt the style of Weeknd’s character. Watch clips from it below.

    Back in 2020, the Weeknd lent his voice to a character that loosely resembled himself in an episode of American Dad. The episode also featured an original song he co-wrote called ‘I’m a Virgin’.

    Earlier this year, the Weeknd released his latest album, Dawn FM, the follow-up to 2020’s After Hours.
