So yes. There are no special guests. ”Check out the clip from the interview below.
Many people have speculated whether Weeknd would be joined by any of his previous collaborators on Sunday Night – a list of names that includes Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, SZA, Lil Uzi Vert and more. The most common rumor was that Weeknd could be accompanied by the elusive French duo Daft Punk, who worked with the artist on his 2016 LP Starboy.
