The Weeknd says changing his hair has made it easier to avoid paparazzi.
“With my old hair, it was hard. Now? It’s a breeze. I just put the hat on,” said the Toronto superstar, who got rid of his distinctive ‘do in September. “My life is one hundred times better.”
In an interview with Billboard, The Weeknd opened up about the photographers who hunt for celebrities out and about in Los Angeles.
“I believe that if you’re always getting paparazzi, there’s something fishy going on. I go out, and they’re there sometimes, but I don’t tell the whole world I’m going out,” he explained.
“I respect the paparazzi, it’s their job, I got no beef with them. Luckily, for me, my career is putting out the hits and interacting with the fans. I don’t need pictures of me being generated all the time.”
The Weekend, who grew up in Toronto, also said he’s shopping for real estate in California — but he’s not necessarily interested in a big mansion.
“I’m looking to buy a big property, but I want to buy a studio or something. I got no kids, no wife. I live by myself,” he told Billboard.
“I can’t buy a big house and live by myself. I’ll get terrified.”
