Selena Gomez appears to shade Justin Bieber and The Weeknd by turning exes into frogs in new Boyfriend music video
SELENA Gomez doesn’t need a boyfriend, she simply wants one and when they’re bad she turns them into frogs.
The 27-year-old singer seemingly shaded her exes, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, as she turned her “bad” dates into frogs in her music video for Boyfriend.
Selena made everyone’s quarantine so much better by releasing her newest music video for Boyfriend.
In it, she turns the guys she goes out with into frogs and keeps them in a cage – collecting more along the way.
Her song could come off as a potential jab at her exes, Justin and The Weeknd (whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye).
Boyfriend’s lyrics read: “I want a boyfriend / But I just keep hitting dead ends / Try to take a shortcut, but I get cut / Again and again
“I want a boyfriend / Tell me, are there any good ones left? / I keep finding wrong ones, but I want love / Again and again.”
Selena could also be referring to the struggle in the dating world when you don’t necessarily know a person’s imperfections until you’ve spent some time with them.
This could definitely be true when it comes to her relationship with the Canadian singer, in which she claimed she suffered “emotional abuse.”
When asked if the breakup was one of the “harder parts” of her life by NPR, she replied: “I’ve found strength in it.
“It’s dangerous to stay in a victim mentality. And I’m not being disrespectful, I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse.”
She was then asked whether she experienced “emotional abuse”, to which she replied: “Yes and I think it’s something that – I had to find a way to understand it as an adult.
“And I had to understand the choices I was making.”
Justin shacked up with Hailey Baldwin after the relationship before marrying later in 2018.
Selena recently came back to music after a four-year hiatus where she battled with depression, anxiety and kidney problems.
Comparing her past relationships to kissing frogs wasn’t the only swipe she made towards some of her ex’s in her latest album, Rare.
Fans of the singer first got a taste of the album when she released “Lose You To Love Me” and “Look At Her Now” before quickly connecting the dots and realizing she was done with Justin.
The first tune talked about letting go of a toxic relationship in order to love herself, while the other showed off how great she’s doing now.

But those aren’t the only songs that gossip about her ex. In “Cut You Off,” she called him extra weight.
She sang: “Gotta chop-chop all the extra weight / I’ve been carrying for fourteen-hundred-sixty days / Gotta, gotta, gotta clean my slate
“And I might as well just tell you while I’m drunk, yeah / The truth is that I think I’ve had enough / Professionally messin’ with my trust
“How could I confuse that s**t for love?”
There’s little doubt that this song is about her relationship with the Canadian singer because 1,460 days equal four years – the amount of time their initial relationship lasted.
Selena and Justin ended their last attempt at a relationship in early 2018, after first dating in 2010.
