The Weeknd has implied he offered his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez his kidney.

Now that is love!

The Bad Liar singer underwent a major operation last year following complications with her lupus condition – and her best friend and actor Francia Raisa gave her one of her kidneys because hers had started to fail.

But it seems Selena’s bestie might not have been the only one to offer up their organ as The Weeknd, who she dated for almost a year, has hinted in his new song that he was willing to risk his life for her.


The pair ended their relationship in 2017 but in a lyric to Call Out My Name, which features on his new EP My Dear Melancholy, he sang: ‘I said I didn’t feel nothing baby, but I lied / I almost cut a piece of myself for your life.’

And The Weeknd’s, real name Abel Tesfaye, not-so-subtle mentions of their relationship did not stop there.



He also sings: ‘Guess I was just another pit stop / ‘Til you made up your mind / You just wasted my time/ We found each other / I helped you out of a broken place / You gave me comfort / But falling for you was my mistake.’

Not long after Selena broke up with the 28-year-old singer, she was seen out and about with her on-and-off fella Justin Bieber – although that romance is rumoured to be already over.

The Weeknd, on the other hand, is believed to be talking to his former flame Bella Hadid again – and couldn’t resist including her in some of his lyrics on Wasted Times.

‘Wasted times I spent with someone else,’ he sings. ‘But you’ve been with me from the beginnin’ (ooh, yeah, yeah) / And I know right now that we’re not talkin’.’

In this song in particular it appears he is throwing all the shade at the Selena, branding her ‘not even half’ of Gigi Hadid’s sister.

He carries on: ‘Wasted times I spent with someone else, she wasn’t even half of you.’

Urm, ouch!

While the Ethiopian-Canadian never mentions Bella in name, the line ‘You were equestrian, so ride it like a champion’ has raised fans’ eyebrows – especially as the model has been pretty open about her love of horse-back riding in the past.
