Oreo cookies threw some major shade at music artist The Weeknd amidst rumors of the cancellation of his HBO show The Idol .

The Canadian singer and record producer Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye starred and co-created the drama series about an aspiring music idol played by Lily-Rose Depp and her complicated relationship with a cult leader played by himself.

The show received mixed reviews, with many viewers criticizing it for its themes, characterization, and most notably for its gratuitous nudity and graphic sex scenes that were described as "softcore porn."

Although HBO has yet to make an official announcement on the show's future, Pop Crave's Twitter account tweeted The Idol "will reportedly not return for a second season."

This prompted Oreo cookie's official Twitter account to celebrate the unconfirmed possibility of the show's demise by replying:

"Finally some good news."

HBO's communication team immediately put the kibosh on the unfounded claim, tweeting:

"It is being misreported that a decision on a second season of The Idol has been determined."
"It has not, and we look forward to sharing the next episode with you Sunday night."

Nevertheless, a week later, The Weeknd retweeted Oreo's post and wrote:

"Oh f'k they been talkin sh*t 🤣"

Twitter users shared their thoughts.



Some showed empathy and supported the "After Hours" singer...



While others couldn't help but chuckle over the shade thrown by America's favorite sandwich cookie.





The Weeknd later expressed there were no hard feelings and wrote a follow-up comment, tweeting:

"naw I can’t beef with you @Oreo too many beautiful memories…"
"I’m dunking you in some champagne tonight."

Oreo then asked the singer not to hate on them, tweeting:

"Abel, you know we'd die for you! please don't hold it against us."

Fans of The Idol can continue watching new episodes of the show on Max (formerly HBO Max) on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. EST.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.
