The Weeknd Donates $50,000 to University of Toronto

(RapUp)

The Weeknd has donated $50,000 to the University of Toronto to help launch an Ethiopic Studies program.

It’s likely an issue near and dear to Abel, whose parents emigrated from Ethiopia to Canada prior to the singer’s birth in Scarborough.

On Saturday (Aug. 6), Abel announced the news on Twitter and provided information for others who may want to donate as well.
