The Weeknd has been known to wear a good amount of black in his outfits, but could go with red in accordance with the aesthetic of his newest album.
Likewise, the promotional material for the Super Bowl has shown him in some blue or possibly purple attire.

Some Super Bowl sportsbooks have been offering odds for The Weeknd to name a number of political figures. The artist has been pretty removed from politics throughout his career, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to suddenly make some sort of statement on the biggest stage of his career.

Taking the no for all of these bets seems like the only option, but much more surprising things have happened.

The Weeknd is Canadian, so while him mentioning Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is extremely unlikely, it isn’t completely impossible.
