During an interview with GQ, The Weeknd spoke about he learned to differentiate between his stage name and his real name. “The lines were blurry at the beginning,” he said. “And as my career developed—as I developed as a man—it’s become very clear that Abel is someone I go home to every night. And The Weeknd is someone I go to work as.”
