The Canadian performer The Weeknd is demanding that the organizers of the Coachella festival pay him $ 8.5 million for the performance.
Kanye West, who refused to participate in the event, was supposed to receive such an amount, according to Radio KP.
The festival organizers urgently found a replacement for West, but they clearly did not expect The Weeknd to request the same amount as Ye. At the same time, the artist even threatened that he would not perform unless he was paid as much as they were going to pay Kanye West.
Coachella owner Philip Anschutz wanted to keep Kanye's money and pay The Weeknd much less - just a few million. The festival should have appropriated the rest, said the source of the publication. The insider also added that after The Weeknd threatened to leave, the organizers gave in to the singer.
