The Weeknd urged fans to listen to the original mixtapes “individually,” while reminding them that the mix on the compilation project “isn’t the original mix.”

I might get rid of the compilation just so there’s no more confusion, now that ALL the samples are finally cleared since December 17, 2021

“I might get rid of the compilation just so there’s no more confusion, now that ALL the samples are finally cleared since December 17, 2021,” The Weeknd added.

But I also know there are fans of the compilation so I might not get rid of it. But just want it to be clear for all the new fans and weirdly older fans …
