Coachella Without Kanye West seems not to bother Kendall Jenner, his once sister-in-law. In fact, it seems to excite her no bounds that The Weeknd might replace the rapper.

This year's Coachella headliner, The Weeknd, is Kendall Jenner's ex-brother-in-law, Kanye West, who she married in 2013.

On Wednesday, the "Take My Breath" singer's Instagram post showing the revamped lineup for the California-based music festival featured a praying hands emoji from the 26-year-old model.

The Weeknd, 32, and Swedish House Mafia, a house music supergroup, will take up the rapper's Coachella slots on Sunday, April 17, and Sunday, April 24, respectively.

Kim Kardashian and her family have been the target of numerous public attacks by her sister's ex-husband, rapper Kanye West in recent months. While Jenner's reaction may simply reflect her admiration for the "Blinding Lights" singer, it also raises the possibility that she is showing her displeasure with the 44-year-old.

Only a couple of weeks before the event, Page Six exclusively reported that The Weeknd was the front-runner to take over for "All of the Lights" rapper Migos.

An eyewitness told us on Monday that Kanye has "absolutely pulled out of Coachella." The implication is that "he hasn't been practicing" or "putting on a show."

Travis Scott, the father of Kylie Jenner's two children, is "expected to be joining [West] on stage," according to our source.

"Now it would be virtually impossible for him to get it together. Look for The Weeknd to replace him," our source shared, adding, "Kanye is backing out because he wants to stay out of the public eye after all the drama with Kim and Pete; he wants to get help."

For some of his troubling behavior, including an Instagram ban of 24 hours and the cancellation of his Grammys performance, West recently told Kardashian that he was "going away to seek assistance."

While help still needs to be sought, Kanye West has agreed to refrain from "any public appearances or incendiary social media comments" in order to recuperate.

"At this time, Ye is committed to a healthy co-parenting relationship with Kim and is focused on raising their beautiful children," a source for the Grammy winner said to Page Six.

In the midst of their lengthy divorce, Kardashian and West were declared legally separated in March. Kardashian is also looking to be very committed to her new boyfriend Pete Davidson. Her sister Kourtney, recently got hitched in Las Vegas to Travis Barker.
