Abel Tesfaye, better known by his stage name The Weeknd, has explained his controversial reaction to a report published in March about his forthcoming series The Idol.
In the report by Rolling Stone, sources who worked on the HBO American drama co-created by Tesfaye, Euphoria’s creator Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim, claimed the show had gone “disgustingly off the rails”, citing a number of troubling claims about proposed storylines that had taken an overwhelmingly dark turn.
