The Weeknd recently did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit. The famously reclusive R&B singer let fans know about his taste in TV, music, inspiration his new album Kiss Land and promised to collaborate with just about everyone. Check out some of the best question and answers below:

Where did "The Weeknd" come from? I've always wondered.

I left home when I was about 17 dropped out of high school and convinced Lamar to do the same lol. We grabbed our mattresses from our parents threw it in our friends shitty van and left one weekend and never came back home. It was gonna be the title of HOB. I hated my name at the time though so I tried it as a stage name. It sounded cool. I took out the "e" because there was already a canadian band named the weekend (copyright issues). (Ed Note: The Weekend is awesome.)

Read in an interview that you were in Paris with Kanye. Can we expect something from you guys?

I'm not sure but kanye is the homie!

Would you work with LANA DEL REY?

Yes. Lana is a good friend of mine

Whats your collab with Diplo sound like? Any idea who's project it will be on? 

It's going to be a big record for a big album. Not mine though. And it's a collab with another singer. No more info!! Lol

Without hesitation
