The Weeknd 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
The Weeknd has been in a relationship with runway model Bella Hadid since early 2015. She also appeared in his music video ‘In the Night’. However, they reportedly broke up in late 2016 due to conflicting schedules. In early 2017, he sparked rumors of dating pop star Selena Gomez. Apparently, they have come close while working on a project together. The Weeknd is also a philanthropist. He has provided monetary support to various causes including $250,000 donation to the Black Lives Matter movement. Raised by his mother and grandmother, who emigrated from Ethiopia in the wake of the “Red Terror” era after the death of Emperor Haile Selassie. Spoke only Amharic until the age of 5. Dropped out of high school at age 17. Discovered by Drake’s manager Oliver El-Khatib after posting songs to YouTube and Facebook. His stage name is missing the final “e” because of a dispute with a Canadian band named The Weekend. His debut album, Trilogy, released in 2012, is a compilation of three earlier mixtapes and some unreleased songs. Opened for Justin Timberlake for a portion of his 20/20 Experience World Tour in 2013. Had back-to-back number one singles with “The Hills” and “I Can’t Feel My Face” in 2015. Tesfaye began dating model Bella Hadid in early 2015. The couple were first seen together in May at Coachella and Hadid later starred in his music video “In the Night” in December of the same year. They made a red carpet appearance as a couple at the 2016 Grammy Awards. On November 11, 2016, it was reported that the couple had split, citing their conflicting schedules as the rationale for ending the relationship. Tesfaye reportedly started dating Selena Gomez in January 2017. They moved in together temporarily in September 2017, but broke up a month later in October 2017. By May 2018, Tesfaye and Hadid began dating again, before splitting in August 2019. It has been reported that the two were in touch once more, nine months after the split. Tesfaye often used drugs to help get over writer’s block on earlier albums and also abused illegal substances such as “… Ketamine, cocaine, MDMA, mushrooms and cough syrup”. Speaking in December 2013, Tesfaye said that drugs were a “crutch” for him when it came to writing music. On social media he typically suffixed his first name with “xo”. According to writer Hermione Hoby, it is meant as an emoticon for “a kiss and a hug”, while VH1’s Zara Golden’s stated that it is a reference to his recreational use of ecstasy and oxycodone. He later altered the handles on his social media to reflect his stage name in preparation for the release of Starboy. Tesfaye’s hairstyle has been claimed to be partly inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat and has been described as his most recognizable trait. In an interview, he detailed that he began growing it out in 2011, and remarked at the easiness in maintaining it, with “a hard shampoo every once in a while”. He eventually cut his hair in 2016 prior to the release of Starboy. In his leisure time, he enjoys watching television and is an avid video game fan. Despite having worked in the Trump International Hotel and Tower (renamed by 2017) in Toronto, Tesfaye and Belly cancelled an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in May 2016 due to Donald Trump being present.
