He's been pretty quiet about dating Selena Gomez, who was linked on and off to Justin Bieber for almost six years.
But The Weeknd finally broke that silence on Wednesday with a brutal diss track seemingly aimed at the Sorry hit maker.
The 26-year-old provided guest vocals on Nav's new song Some Way, and fans didn't have to read too far into the lyrics to figure out who he was talking about.
'Your girl fell in love with me': The Weeknd hit back at Justin Bieber with a brutal diss track on Wednesday
'I think your girl, think your girl, fell in love with me,' he finishes the first verse. 'She say my f*** and my tongue game a remedy.'
In the chorus, he declares: 'I just took that chick, and I know you feelin' some way / She just want a ni*** like me, you feelin' some way'.
Even Nav appears to get involved in his own verse.
'The brown boy and the Starboy on a track / Haters gonna say this sh** is wack' — "wack" being exactly how Bieber describes The Weeknd's music, after calling out Starboy in particular.
