Usher reminded everyone that "Climax" is very much his song on Wednesday night as he participated in the “Climax Challenge.” During a Variety interview, The Weeknd spoke about how his 2012 album, House of Balloons, changed the landscape of pop music. “House of Balloons literally changed the sound of pop music before my eyes. I heard ‘Climax,’ that [2012] Usher song, and was like, ‘Holy f–, that’s a Weeknd song,'” said The Weeknd. “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.”Usher took to his Instagram stories to sing his hit song “Climax” after The Weeknd claimed he copied his style in the song.
