Climax Clapback! Usher Checks The Weeknd With This Flawless Falsetto

Don’t come for Usher unless he send for you. The Weeknd found that to the hard way when he revealed the Ush’s 2012 hit “Climax” had him in his feelings.

In an interview with Variety, promoting his new album After Hours, the Canadian singer threw a little shade Usher’s way. TW insinuated that his first project, a mixtape titled House of Balloons, was the catalyst for “Climax”.

“‘House of Balloons’ literally changed the sound of pop music before my eyes,” he says without exaggeration. “I heard ‘Climax,’ that [2012] Usher song, and was like, ‘Holy f—, that’s a Weeknd song.’ 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.”

Yikes!

Now, y’all know that didn’t sit well with fans…

Usher’s worst album > The Weeknd’s best album.

And it forced Usher’s hand. The Grammy-winning singer issued a challenge, a #ClimaxChallenge to be exact, indirectly calling The Weeknd out while showcasing his unmatched falsetto skills.
