Dion’s son in rap tribute to Weeknd

TORONTO — Céline Dion’s eldest child, René-Charles Angélil, has dropped several new rap songs, including two covers paying tribute to the Weeknd.

The 17-year-old son of the Quebecois powerhouse and her late husband, René Angélil, uploaded the songs to his Soundcloud account.

Angélil appears on the tracks under the pseudonym Big Tip.

His two Weeknd tributes feature album covers with the Montreal skyline in wintertime.

A third song, called Never Stop, showcases an aerial view of Las Vegas, where his mother has a residency at Caesars Palace.

Each includes original lyrics retelling Angélil’s personal experience as the son of famous parents.

“Move to the desert, sweeter than some dessert, fake homies that deserted me, I do not deserve,” he sings on Never Stop, which was posted Monday.

On Catwalks, which samples the Weeknd’s Sidewalks, Angélil opens by rapping that he “ran out of tears when I was 16.”

He later outlines some of his priorities, saying he puts his family first and his music second.

A second Weeknd cover, of the Toronto performer’s early song Loft Music, follows a similar path, recounting Angélil’s experiences in Vegas.

Spokesmen for Dion and Caesars Palace did not respond to requests for comment.
