The Weeknd’s Lyrics Hint At Ex

In the song “Call Out My Name,” from The Weeknd’s newly released EP, the singer hints that he almost donated his kidney to ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

But a source tells Entertainment Tonight that simply isn’t true. Fans have been buzzing over the lyric in the song where The Weeknd sings, “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life/ Guess I was just another pit stop/ Til you made up your mind/ You just wasted my time.”

The source explains, “It’s just a lyric and he knew it would strum up attention and that people would interpret it exactly as they have, but he was never actually going to donate his kidney to Selena.”

Plus, according to the source, Selena would have “never, ever asked him.” Her best friend Francia Raisa ended up being her donor.

And, according to the source, Gomez and the singer’s 10-month relationship was not as serious as The Weeknd’s new album suggests. “To be honest, they were never as intense as he’s making it seem,” the source says. “”The Weeknd was always much more concerned with his career than his relationship. Selena leaned on friends and family during the surgery more than anyone.”
