When The Weeknd released his fourth studio album, After Hours, in 2020, fans were introduced to a new side of him. The R&B crooner created a new character for himself when he released the visuals for the record-breaking songs "Blinding Lights" and "Heartless." Those visuals saw The Weeknd transform into an injured guy wearing a red suit in the streets of Las Vegas at night. The bruised and battered character became a fixture in The Weeknd's post-album performances, including Saturday Night Live, the MTV Video Music Awards, and the American Music Awards. The Weeknd's increasingly bandaged face caused fans to speculate on his well-being.

Perhaps hinting that he's ready to say goodbye to his After Hours character, The Weeknd has finally eased fans' worries and opened up about the bandages on his face.

While hard at work in rehearsals ahead of his Super Bowl halftime performance, The Weeknd spoke to Variety about the meaning behind it all, saying:

"The significance of the entire head bandages is reflecting on the absurd culture of Hollywood celebrity and people manipulating themselves for superficial reasons to please and be validated."

The Canadian crooner said the bandages on his face throughout his music videos and live performances is a "progression" of a storyline he invented, which, quote, "hit heightened levels of danger and absurdity as his tale goes on."

The absurd climax of the storyline can be seen in The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" video, where he shocks fans with a botched face that appeared to have been surgically altered. He believes that all these looks make for "a compelling narrative" and says that he doesn't really care if his fans find him unattractive when he's in character.

According to CR Fashionbook, some of The Weeknd's earlier inspirations included cult hits like Possession and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which cover some of the artist's favorite topics.

In addition to Hollywood culture at large, The Weeknd has specifically called out the Recording Academy. The R&B artist famously was completely left out of the 2021 Grammys and wasn't happy about it. Taking to social media, The Weeknd took his criticism of Hollywood and the entertainment industry to new heights, taking the Grammys to task and claiming his fans deserved better. He tweeted:

"The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency."

The artist spoke further about his feelings in an interview with Billboard, saying:

"I use a sucker punch as an analogy. Because it just kind of hit me out of nowhere. I definitely felt… I felt things. I don't know if it was sadness or anger. I think it was just confusion. I just wanted answers. Like, 'What happened?' We did everything right, I think. I'm not a cocky person. I'm not arrogant."

The artist went on to question whether his race had something to do with the Grammy snub.

"If you were like, 'Do you think the Grammys are racist?' I think the only real answer is that in the last 61 years of the Grammys, only 10 Black artists have won album of the year. I don't want to make this about me. That's just a fact."

Whether or not the industry catches up with the charts and gives The Weeknd recognition doesn't seem to really matter to the artist anymore. He went on to tell Billboard:

"Look, I personally don't care anymore. I have three Grammys, which mean nothing to me now, obviously. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I want the Grammy!’ It’s just that this happened, and I’m down to get in front of the fire, as long as it never happens again. I suck at giving speeches anyways. Forget awards shows."

The feud between The Weeknd and The Recording Academy may just be the fuel to push the artist into his next character phase, whatever that may be. Regarding his changing persona in his music, The Weeknd wondered aloud with Variety:

"Why not play with the character and the artist and let those lines blur and move around?"

Seeing as the performer has promised a "cinematic" Super Bowl Halftime Show, we're excited to see what makes its way onto the big stage. Watch the video to learn The Real Meaning Behind The Weeknd's Face Bandages!

look closely at the eyes. 5 sided. Is that 5:5?

Who is thisJoker???

Why is the girl on the stage, Chinese?

Why is the lighting RED when he pops the two red cherries into his mouth

Why does the Chinese girl have such power to levitate him closer?

Why is there a brief flash later of her RED lips with w microphone that looks like a strawberry from the red lighting?

Is this secret comms to somebody?

Who is the owner (as in slave owner) of this artist?

p.s. they are all slaves, owned by somebody. Their voice is not their own. They speak for their owners.

And then there is the version on a navy ship with pin-up girls in retro late 1930s style.

In this video there is at least one scene that shows red and white flags with shapes that echo the HSBC logo.

The same colors as Umbrella Corp. in Resident Evil's Racoon (coRona) City

Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation was created by British and Parsi investors not long after the British started building Hong Kong with Muslim Lascars imported from India. And yes, the Parsi are those Zoroastrian fire worshippers that fled from Persia to India because it was fertile ground for their banking services.

Then, the sailor throws up a cocktail while in the center of a circle of 12 dancers

It is common for single color umbrellas to have 12 ribs.

However, at the height of it's flight, the red umbrella and yellow lemon make the MasterCard logo.

HSBC offers Mastercard.

Mastercard the business is owned by the Mastercard Foundation

HSBC and Mastercard and control of Ports around the world all lead to…

The Emperor of China, hidden in his aerie above Hong Kong.

Li-Kashing

He's from the lee-side of Asia (weather moves west to east) and he is cashing in on his control of the Dragon Clan's money.

Clearly the ancestor of Ming the Merciless or Emperor Draco who will rule in the 25th century.

By the way, Li or Lee, was formerly an ethnic group distinct from the Han Chinese. In the end, their bloodline held the thrones of China, Korea and Japan.

It is a reminder that Q put a lot of effort into teaching us CLOWN comms

That is because the clowns communicate in the open.

That is why Q chose 4chan /pol for his drops

Because many clowns use that board to advertise people that need to be killed

To take bids from various sleeper cells

And then to confirm the hit and the payment

All in plain site but in code.

It turns out that they also do this with many popular TV series like South Park

And they were doing it in the 1930s with movies like King Kong

And with Disney cartoons

Because of the Phoenician pagan religion that the leadership follows

Often mistakenly called Satanism

They always advertise their intentions tovictimizeus before they do so.

They believe that thiskarma launderingwill protect them from God's retribution

Because they think that we were warned

So now it is our fault that we were murdered.

Zero.

Because like all Hollywood entertainers

And that includes the music industry

He is a slave.

He is not allowed to speak for himself

He only speaks for his master

Or for some other person/group as instructed by the master.

He is only playing a role, just like the actors do.

Most slaves are not allowed to be in public

Unless they are playing a role.

They can only be genuine in private situations

Like with their REHAB THERAPIST (Monarch Mind Control Programmer)

The Phoenicians are in control

Or at least they were until Patriots moved in on them with MENACES and took over.

The movie script has changed slowly so that sleeper cells do not wake up to what has happened

Most of them have now been neutralised and I think WEEKND may have been thumbing his nose in their faces

Saying "I'm in control of the show now"

"I'm gonna tell my story".

This would explain why the second video with 30s retro pinups on a navy ship

And BLACK AND WHITE sequences when his master flipped and submitted to White Hats.

Read and learn

The threats were not what you think they were.

They only talk about the real threats in private

You cannot blame Donald Trump for the deaths in WWI, WWII, the 1918 flu epidemic, etc.

He was not yet born.

But he was born into a Cabal bloodline family that was playing the game by their rules, and which knew about the slaughter, who did it and why.

So, are you gonna attack him because he didn't stick his nose out in 1968

And likely get himself killed

Or

Are you gonna praise his steel will

That he bided his time,

Learned the Cabal system including the laws of cheating

So that he was ready to advise and lead an operation to free the world?

Remember 7 years ago when he tweeted

Move slowly, carefully — and then strike like the fastest animal on the planet!

Why did he not name the animal?

Because people would have made fun of him by changing CHEETAH to CHEATER.

But, as a Cabal player, he was in fact warning his enemies.

This is what I will do

I will move slowly

Not anytime soon

And I will move carefully so do not expect another warning

And when I do move

I will not be playing fair

I will be CHEATING for the win.

And that is just what he did.

He cheated the REPUBLICAN establishment out of a candidate.

He CHEATED Hillary out of a win by campaigning hard in small states where the Dems had not set up any ballot stuffing

And by running very appealing campaigns in the rigged states so that their planned rigging numbers would be too low,

The Q movement was part of the latter.

It allowed Trump to reach many in rigged states without appearing to be campaigning for those votes

And as a result the democrats did not notice and took no counter actions

Then as POTUS he CHEATED again by using little known and used Presidential; powers to den special forces teams into North Korea and take out key generals and their entourages

As well as teams that went into the People's Republic and walked out with hard drives and servers full of blackmail material.

Ifg CHEATING makes you feel bad,

Then you have not really accetped that we live in Satan's realm

I.e. we really do live in HELL and we will keep being reborn here until we wake up and follow the WAY that Jesus showed us.

And that WAY does not require ever attending a church service or reading a bible
