“He’s a character that we created,” The Weekend continued. “It’s so funny, we want to create a comic out of him, as well… He’s a cool, dope character that makes appearances a lot on the album. He’s definitely made his appearance in different records in the past, as well. He’s a more braggadocious character that we all have inside of us.”

The Weeknd has released three singles in 2017: Reminder, Rockin’ and Die For You.
