The Weeknd joined the long list of musicians to have voiced a character on The Simpsons on Sunday when he was included in the cast for new episode entitled “Bart The Cool Kid.” Abel Tesfaye played Orion Hughes, a child influencer and skateboarder who owns a fashion brand named “Slipreme” and once wrote a book of critically-maligned poetry. Hughes becomes friends with Bart while Homer becomes a middle-aged hypebeast. Tweeting about his appearance on the show, Tesfaye described it as a “dream come true.”

The Simpsons has a long history of recruiting musicians to voice characters on the show with the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, and Paul McCartney all taking part since the series debuted back in 1989. More recently Bad Bunny and Weezer have appeared while Common, RZA, and Snoop Dogg were in a 2016 episode honoring hip-hop. Last year Morrissey took exception to an episode where once-beloved singer “Quilloughby,” voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, ages into a racist, bloated performer.
The Weeknd released new album Dawn FM in January and earlier this month confirmed details of an upcoming 2022 stadium tour. He will hit the road with support act Doja Cat on his After Hours Til Dawn tour this summer.
