Tonight on the latest episode of The Simpsons, the Weeknd lent his voice to an animated character named Orion Hughes. He’s a child influencer and owner of fictional skate brand “Slipreme,” the logo for which bears a striking resemblance to Supreme’s ubiquitous red rectangle.
In the episode, Orion befriends Bart Simpson, helping him become cool. The episode is about Homer rallying local dads to adopt the style of the Weeknd’s famous kid character. Michael Rapaport also appears in the episode. Watch clips below.
The Weeknd previously co-wrote and appeared as a version of himself in a 2020 episode of American Dad, which featured an original song he also co-wrote titled “I’m a Virgin.”
This summer, the Weeknd will set out on tour behind his last two albums, Dawn FM and 2020’s After Hours.
