The Weekend is using hints of Michael Jackson to help get attention. I don't believe that the person in the video is Michael. I always wonder what Michael looks like now, but don't feel he would look exactly like he did back in 2009.
If Michael took the time and effort to fake his death, why would he just show up in a Weekend video.
The Weekend needs to find his own talent (if he even has any) and leave the Michael shtick alone.
