“I heard ‘Climax,’ that Usher song, and was like, ‘Holy f—, that’s a Weeknd song'," he told Variety back in April. "It was very flattering, and I knew I was doing something right, but I also got angry. But the older I got, I realized it’s a good thing.”

“I hit him up to apologize and tell him that it was misconstrued," The Weeknd told the publication. He was annoyed that anyone would think that he had ulterior motives. "He’s one of the reasons why I make music. Definitely. No, no, I have nothing bad to say about Usher. The sweetest, most down-to-earth guy ever.”

This isn’t news, and all this thread is going to do is cause arguments lol

Remember that one thread where niggas was saying usher was never good and can’t sing?

That’s crazy

First part is old news and only put in to cause arguments

The news should be that internet nerds tried to cause beef between weeknd and usher so Weeknd called him personally and sorted it out

Straight goofiness

I think some went as far as to say he’s not a legend

But isn’t usher an a****** irl? Lol

No Usher slander will be tolerated

Damn right he better had

This s*** was so lame

Good can people stop arguing now

This is like a year old, what’s your agenda OP

Early

Was it literally a Weeknd song or just his style?

Neither

I agree

diplo said himself he took inspiration from early weeknd

Can’t take it back nigga

R&Beef is hilarious

I mean people on twitter did the same to Weeknd everybody acted a fool over over a white publications editing.

The coon chips were activated all around

It was his style Diplo admitted it

Not to mention this isnt a new comparison

People have been writing about it for years lol

It makes Usher fans and traditional r&b fans so mad Weeknd has influence

Bro I do not give a f***. Climax is actually good, sounds nothing like The Weeknd
