The Weeknd and his XO cohort Belly were scheduled to perform "Might Not" last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The AP reports that they opted to cancel their performance at the last minute because they didn't want to appear in the same episode as Donald Trump, who appeared as a guest on the show last night.
“I feel like the way I was raised was to be able to see through all the titles in this world — from religion to race,” Belly said in a statement. “I just didn’t want to feel like I was a part of a celebration for somebody who has beliefs that the majority of us don’t agree with.” He added: “For me, being Muslim and being somebody that appreciates my access here in America, I love the fact that I’m able to be here. To play my part in this business is a privilege and a beautiful thing. The fact that I could lose that ability through the actions of someone such as Donald Trump isn’t right to me. At all.”
