Since The Weeknd dropped My Dear Melancholy last Friday, fans have been wrapped up by a line on the EP’s opener, “Call  Out My Name” in regards to the 28-year-old’s ex, Selena Gomez. The insinuation? That he’d donate a kidney to Gomez. A source close to Gomez however says that’s false and just “buzz.”

“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,” the source admitted to ET. “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 lyric in question goes: “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life/ Guess I was just another pit stop/ Til you made up your mind/ You just wasted my time.” A pretty good line to interpret but eventually, Gomez’ best friend and grown-ish star Francia Raisa ended up donating the kidney.

“To be honest, they were never as intense as he’s making it seem,” the source continued to tell ET. “The Weeknd was always much more concerned with his career than his relationship. Selena leaned on friends and family during the surgery more than anyone.”

Who to even believe…
