The 20-second clip captures the superstar speaking gently to a fan backstage before his most recent Miami performance. A user tweeted "Y'all his voice!" accompanying a video of The Weeknd addressing a fan and stating, "I thought you were gonna come to the Tampa show. Are you originally from Miami?" The fan responds by saying that he isn't.
