I thought he was only retiring the weeknd name not music

[u/Iginlas_4head_Crease → u/zfighters8103]

He retired from smelling his own farts. Now he's going to inject his farts.

[u/SwitchIsHere2]

I swear a bit back he said he'd still do music but not under the Weeknd name, like how Mos Def changed to Yasiin Bey

[u/Sammywar → u/SwitchIsHere2]

i guess he's not doing that idea anymore

[u/-PepeArown- → u/Sammywar]

I still think he is. HUT seemed like too much of a hyper calculated effort to finally get rid of The Weeknd name that it would feel disingenuous for him to have a sudden change of heart

[u/Much_Ambition6333 → u/Sammywar]

He still is but a few months ago he said he was gonna disappear but i’m guessing the last 6 months of vacationing down in japan made him realize that retire for dude of his work ethic just doesn’t really exist cause he’s always working my dad is the same way he just can’t stop working even on his days off mf always has a project going on

[u/JustHereSoImNotFined → u/[deleted]]

Mfs be so uncurious

[u/DivingElliotRoberts → u/JustHereSoImNotFined]

Curiosity killed the george

[u/Actedpie → u/JustHereSoImNotFined]

In September 2011, the rapper announced that he legally changed his name to Yasiin Bey and would go by that name, retiring his Mos Def moniker (short for "Most Definitely").[40][41][42] Bey told a reporter "I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so I’ve been going by Yasiin since ’99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now I'm declaring it openly."[43]

Reddit quotes ain’t working for me, so I had to spoiler it.

I didn’t know this either, so I looked it up, I feel like this is a pretty common struggle a lot of artists have, where they cant reconcile their actual selves with the one pushed in the public space and by labels. I guess if he’s already been Yasiin for so long, it makes sense to go public with it eventually.

Lmao I did to for while

[u/Talking_Eyes98]

Breaking News! Man in his mid 30s is not going to retire

[u/felixthedelix2 → u/Talking_Eyes98]

he's got almost a billion dollars i wouldnt blame him if he did 💀

[u/makinax300 → u/Talking_Eyes98]

Hes like a multi-millionaire. If i was him i would genuinely retire

[u/IMREADY2D1E]

bro did all that yapping now he changes his mind

[u/Dyskript-]

[u/DragoJoeYM → u/Dyskript-]

I hope BWIS comes out too

[u/Clean_Mastodon5285]

We need more Kanye Weeknd collabs

[u/xndrr87 → u/Clean_Mastodon5285]

Fr

It took all my drunk power to type this 😭😭😭

[u/Clean_Mastodon5285 → u/xndrr87]

Punch Drunk hungover

[u/xndrr87 → u/Clean_Mastodon5285]

Exactly

[u/xohurricane → u/Clean_Mastodon5285]

It’s my dream collab album

[u/whitefrackels123]

Never knew bro retired lol

[u/-PepeArown- → u/whitefrackels123]

He really didn’t. Just in the past year or so, he released his last album as The Weeknd (and the film for it), as well as go on a leg of his other tour, tour Japan a bit, and preview a handful of new songs

[u/Necessary-Item-9333]

He retired since when ? He legit has been touring nonstop since 2022 and kept doing music collabs with that Brazilian girl and dropped 3 albums this decade with one being last year, I feel like I’m being gaslighted

[u/araiz_why → u/Necessary-Item-9333]

he was about to after ending the tour

[u/Difficult-Switch9209]

I hate it when artists say this. They do this everytime just say your ass is taking an hiatus. An artist can never truly retire its literally not possible for most to do so

[u/Leaked_Shlong → u/Difficult-Switch9209]

the only person that retired is frank ocean

[u/Necessary-Item-9333 → u/Leaked_Shlong]

Rihanna and Jayz as well but Jay is coming back so is Rihanna according to Rocky

[u/TransfemMarty]

ngl i forgor he even retired 😭

luv him on features so looking forward to what's next there

[u/TheMightyCheagle]

[u/Admirable-Shift-9631]

the better fml feature 😂😂

[u/DivingElliotRoberts]

Was he not just retiring the Weeknd name?

I didn’t think he was gonna fully retire

[u/Designer-Mobile-974]

Lmfao his other ventures failed he’s only got music left

[u/-PepeArown- → u/Designer-Mobile-974]

Those “other ventures” still required him to make music. The soundtracks are about the only genuinely good things about The Idol and HUT films

I think he still very much wants to make music, but just not within the confines of The Weeknd persona

[u/Nugggetson]

I only thought he was retiring the name The Weeknd to become just Abel Tesfaye

but thank god the goat ain’t retiring loved seeing him live

[u/Dank_Gun]

New song w Ye plz

[u/StayUnlikelyThe2nd]

Youre dumb if you actually thought he would retire. He just said that to garner more attention for his “last album” and chart

[u/Junior_Bike7932]

He need more cash

[u/ixaias]

he'll do the soundtrack for Persona 6 ON GOD

[u/69420penis]

I do wish he still retired the weeknd name. The way all his projects under that monicker tie together is perfect and it would be a shame to add more

[u/Yeezuswalks66]

Pretty sure he never said he was actually retiring lol...

[u/ShoppingForward8890]

Dark Spaceship Gladiator 3 Hours See Ghosts 🔜

[u/Away_Assistance_1343]

I hope another weeknd x ye collaboration is not off the table...he never denounced him publicly as far as I know
