The full-circle moment actually happened. I travelled to Paris with Natalie to actually meet Abel Tesfaye himself, and it was truly magical. Thank you to Abel and his amazing team, and thank you to you guys for your incredible support over these years. XOTWOD.

    jon in 2019: "I'll never let my daughters around this man" jon 2023: him and his wife met Abel.
  • @TerraFirma47
    This is so sick. That’s how you solidify fans for life; respect to Abel for this.
  • @pacman7687
    Jon, this is fucking dope. Congrats man, well deserved.
  • @mikeyd007
    Crazy how you went from a metalhead to meeting Abel in France. Love to watch your + your channels growth!
  • @Marshimized
    the fact that he put time aside to talk to people that he knows appreciate his work knowing he's sacrificing valuable time to prepare for a show that big is a huge indication of his character. what a good guy, happy for you both!
  • @darthmaul8941
    Jon I was emotional watching this! Your effort and your unrelenting dedication to us fans of your channel in spite of any challenges you had to face along the road is why you absolutely deserved to meet Abel. It's also so comforting to actually know that Abel is truly as genuine and warmhearted as you described him to be. After The Idol, it seemed like people were trying to associate Abel and Tedros as one and the same. It looks like that couldn't be further from the truth
  • @TurboAuss
    this is so fucking cool, Jon. was a tear jerker seeing that pic knowing i’ve gotten to watch you experience his music for the first time to now. you earned this & your hard work is not unnoticed.
  • @jbascom44
    You started with HOB not knowing what you were getting yourself into, and now you met the man himself as an XO. Congrats Jon! You deserve it
  • @omarsalazar1691
    This is incredible. Seeing Jon react to all of Abel’s work for the first time and appreciating it was magical and seeing him become a huge fan of abel over time and realizing that abel also watched with us and appreciates Jon’s videos is mind blowing.
  • @flonom944
    Wow, Abel must be so happy that he finally got to meet you!
  • @anthonyphidel7690
    YOU DESERVE IT JON (& your wife) You’ve been so positive & consistent with this channel, it was only right you had an amazing experience with your Hero
  • @georgegrubb405
    Loved the Nat cameo. This opens up opportunities for you to show her some classic Abel albums and even hip hop if she wants to. they would slap.
  • @dianaespriu7691
    You’re a great representation of us fans who can’t meet him but appreciate him for the amazing human that he is, he needs that reminder every once in a while! So fucking cool!
  • @lak1294
    Been expecting this all along. You're one of the Weeknd's biggest boosters on Youtube. Congrats! He seems like a down-to-earth guy, still in touch with real life and people in spite of his massive success. From a fellow Torontonian
  • @amshany1
    Chills running down my spine, hairs standing up like I’m moments away from being struck by lightning. Feel like I just met Abel. I feel so happy to be a part of your community Jon!
  • @mattbouman6086
    Goosebumps while watching this Jon, thx for being part of the XO Community!!!
