The Weeknd and Drake ‘Live For’ New Video

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The rumored beef between The Weeknd and Drake is really a thing of the past. After getting back together at Drake’s OVO Fest last month, The Weeknd has released a new video for the single, “Live For.” According to vibe.com:

“The Weeknd hides in the shadows in the visual counterpart to his Drake-assisted single ‘Live For.’ The Kiss Land crooner infuses some hints of Asian decorum while recruiting T-Dot’s golden child for a special cameo.”

The two Toronto natives’ rumored beef stemmed from a few lines by Drake earlier this year, which were perceived by the public to be directed to his protégé, The Weeknd. Things really seemed to take a turn when The Weeknd signed a deal with Republic; as most people, including Drake, assumed he would be signing to Drake’s upcoming OVO Music label. For now, everything seems to be behind the two Toronto performers.

“Live For” is off The Weeknd’s first major debut album “Kiss Land,”  which was released Tuesday. Check out the video and tell us what you think.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
