The Weeknd made a cameo in “American Dad” and used his appearance to promo his new song about being a virgin called, “I’m A Virgin.” He is featured in the episode “A Starboy is Born,” which aired for the first time on Monday.
In the episode character Hayley Smith, tries to become intimate with the artist with the help of her husband Jeff Fischer-Smith. When the artist is confronted by the couple, The Weeknd starts singing the song, “I know you can’t believe it’s true/But I’m man enough to say to you/I’m a virgin.”
The song goes on about how he is waiting for the right person and how he uses his “virign powers” to win Grammys.
“I always wanted to play a character that was the opposite of the public’s perception of me-and of course make fun of myself,” The Weeknd told Variety. “I’m a longtime fan of the show, I’ve been watching since high school but I really appreciated it about seven years ago. It’s been running for so long, and I feel like it has a real cult following. To really enjoy the show in its entirety you have to really know the characters.”
