Usher Challenges The Weeknd After He Accuses the Singer of Copying His Style

This week Canadian singer The Weeknd was quoted in Variety claiming R&B singer Usher's 2012 hit single Climax copied the sound from his 2011 debut mixtape House of Balloons [click here if you missed that].

Usher and Climax songwriter Eric Bellinger fire back...

After The Weeknd's disrespectful comments went viral Eric Bellinger started #TheClimaxChallenge where Usher effortlessly sang falsetto, lying on his back no less, and challenged The Weeknd to hit the same notes.
