However, not everyone was on board with The Weeknd paying this homage, with one social media user saying, “I wanna know how The Weeknd thought he could really rock a MF DOOM look and not get cooked for it. Unless it’s an actual way to pay tribute to the goat, TAKE OFF THE MASK ABEL,” while another posted, “Wearing a mask does not equal paying homage.”
