Wild Rumor: Usher Beat The Breaks Off the Weeknd

by HHL JT

Various not-entirely reputable news sources have reported that R&B stars The Weeknd and Usher squared up for real and that Usher gave the younger superstar a thorough beating.

There have been rumors that Abel and Usher have been beefing ever since Weeknd suggested in an interview that Usher swiped his House Of Balloons sound on his track "Climax". 

LMFAOOO WTF ???? THEY GOTTA BE TROLLING 💀💀 https://t.co/GZgrGedL7x

The reports of a fight seem to be somewhat based on photos of Weeknd looking beat up, which could have been outtakes from his After Hours cover shoot.

In a recent Esquire cover story, Weeknd said he and Usher never beefed over "Climax".

Do you think there's any chance the two fought?
