Diddy Reveals The Weeknd’s Last Collab Before Name Change will Be on His ‘The Love’ Album
Earlier this year, The Weeknd announced that he will be changing his stage name to his birth name, Abel Tesfaye.
“I’m going through a cathartic path right now. It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter,” the singer told W magazine recently. “I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.”
The superstar had changed his names on social media to Abel Tesfaye but retained the handles, @theweeknd. Now we have a rough idea when the switch officially will happen. Diddy revealed that the last collaboration Abel does as The Weeknd will appear on his forthcoming album The Love Album: Off the Grid. It is scheduled to arrive on DSPs Sept. 15th.
Diddy teased the song a little as well. Check it out below.
