The pair delved deep into the Weeknd’s latest album Starboy, including its many collaborationsas, well as the creative process behind the project. The pair also delved deeply into personal topics such as humble beginnings, dealing with anxiety, and even his decision to chop off his iconic locks. The lengthy interview is filled with rare facts and bit of knowledge about one of the biggest names in pop culture today.
