NEW VIDEO: Gesaffelstein and The Weeknd are "Lost In The Fire"

So…The Weeknd is back with a new single titled “Lost In The Fire,” a collaboration with producer Gesaffelstein, who worked with The Weeknd on Melancholy. Interestingly enough, this particular song is making headlines for some striking lyrics.

First, many are speculating that Abel may have dissed fellow Canadian star Drake, specifically in regards to his child:

“And I just want a baby with the right one
‘Cause I could never be the one to hide one..”

The rumors also state that this could have everything to do with Bella Hadid, making this a classic Hollywood triangle.

Even worse, The Weeknd’s also being called homophobic for this lyrics:

You said you might be into girls
Said you’re going through a phase
Keeping your heart safe
Well, baby, you can bring a friend
She can ride on top your face
While I f*** you straight…

i used to joke that listening to The Weeknd was homophobic but the lyrics from his new song "lost in the fire" are actually fucking vile. in 2019 we're still doing "fuck you straight" and calling female queerness a "phase?" pic.twitter.com/xDH3fnNrZv

Well done to @theweeknd for managing to deride, fetishise and dismiss lesbianism all in one verse. pic.twitter.com/iefdhs8ACw
