The Weeknd accuses Usher of copying his style

The Weeknd says Usher copied his style and that the singer's 2012 song "Climax" is ripped from his own playbook.

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, explains why, saying that he thinks Usher heard his 2011 mixtape "House of Balloons," borrowed his style, then made it his own.

"'House of Balloons' literally changed the sound of pop music before my eyes," The Weeknd told Variety. "I heard 'Climax,' that Usher song, and was like, 'Holy f—, that's a Weeknd song.'

 

"It was very flattering," The Weeknd said, adding, "I knew I was doing something right, but I also got angry. But the older I got, I realized it's a good thing."

Love his music but imagine if a pop girl claimed and said this about herself. :air:

Not to mention The Weeknd copied MJ's voice and style from Off The Wall era :enigma:

I love The Weeknd and I can kinda see why he’d think that but Usher and others have sang that way before. 

Could The Weeknd’s music influenced a decision in a certain sound? Yes. 

But this was pretty delusional of him to say.

He's been singing this way way back before during his peak. Is Abel baiting feud for some reason? :oprah:

 

And Usher singing live perfectly is a shade to Abel  :billie:

I love After Hours nonetheless.
