The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) recently secured a major $1 billion catalog partnership with Lyric Capital, a groundbreaking deal where he retains ownership and creative control of his music through 2025, rather than selling outright.
This structure makes him a shareholder in the venture, joining music legends like Queen and Michael Jackson in billion-dollar catalog status, and sets a new industry standard for artist control and financial equity.
