It would be weird to call him "The Weeknd" to his face.... Its like "Hey, The Weeknd! How was your day?"
Now, and congratulations, because I know you're in a very happy state of everything right
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
So I'm thrilled for you.
I was curious to know, what made you decide to speak publicly about it, or go public about
it?
I don't think it's more that.
I think for me, I have experienced so many different phases in my life, and because I've
been doing this for so long, I don't feel like there's anything that I would want to,
not necessarily hide, but I'm genuinely myself.
I just think that it's really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things
or just, it just, it's too much pressure.
And I think that everybody gets over everything eventually.
That's what I've learned.
In the years of doing this, it's just, people get over it.
And I'm okay with that.
And I think for me, it's just, I'm so happy with my music.
My health is most important.
My family is most important.
But at the same time, I just want to be happy.
So if that's me just being myself, then I don't really care.
Yeah.
And it's almost, we're talking, obviously she's referring to the weekend, but we, there's
a-
Abel, sorry.
I don't think she called him the weekend.
I call him the weekend, Abel.
But there is something more peaceful and easier to just put it out there, right, than to try
and think of what do I want people to think or see versus what I really feel or see.
There's just like that one extra layer you don't have to worry about.
No, I think everything at this point, my music is so important and stuff that I've been doing
with my shows and producing and working with my mom still, it's like all of this stuff
has just been great.
And I think it's a part of my life.
