A certain song on The Weeknd's new mini-album is generating quite a stir - mostly because people assume that it's about him offering a kidney to his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
That's not as odd as it sounds; if you'll remember last year, Gomez underwent a kidney transplant that was donated by her best friend Francia Raisa.
Now, the pop star has shot down rumours that The Weeknd offered his organ after fans noted how 'Call Out My Name', a track on 'My Dear Melancholy,' contains the line: "I said I didn’t feel nothing, baby, but I lied / I almost cut a piece of myself for your life."
However, Gomez has been quick to shoot down suggestions that she even asked her former flame for his kidney, with a source telling ET Online: "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. Sure, he was her boyfriend at the time, so it perhaps crossed his mind to get tested to see if he was a match — which is incredibly rare — but it never got anywhere close to actually happening.”
The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, meanwhile, has kept schtum on the matter.
