Grimes, last seen having a lightsaber battle on a chess board in the "Player Of Games" video, is teasing a new collaboration with the Weeknd. "Hmmmm surprises for yalls ... It's called Sci Fi," she told fans asking about the possibility on her official Discord server. "Player Of Games" was co-produced the Weeknd's frequent collaborator Illangelo and directed by the Weeknd's After Hours music video director Anton Tammi, so the collab makes a lot of sense.

Grimes also says that she's quitting her day job as a celebrity after releasing her upcoming album Book 1. "Celebrity culture is suffocating a f," she tweeted today. "I’m not quitting music, but def changingmy main day job after BOOK 1. Music industry feels old and tired, reliant on archaic systems." Issa Rae agrees.
