I am sad about the absence of Dawn FM here😔

Translation: "Forgive my Canadian French, it's a little French that's not really... But I really understand it well, I really understand French well!"

For anyone who doesn't know the context:

Back in 2020, Abel said in an interview that when he first heard Usher's Climax, his first thought was that's a Weeknd song because it reminded him of the house of balloons sound. The headlines made it seem like he was accusing Usher of copying him, but he later clarified that he meant it was flattering, called Usher a king, and even said he apologized because his comments were taken the wrong way.

What's interesting is that Diplo (who produced Climax) later admitted that house of balloons was an influence on the song's sound, saying he wanted to bring that darker alt-r&b aesthetic to Usher

Despite that, Eric Bellinger responded with the #ClimaxChallenge, saying Abel couldn't sing the song the way Usher could. Usher also posted videos of himself singing Climax and tweeted, "Have you ever seen the moon bark back at the dog?", which most people interpreted as a response to Abel.

and now Eric is still bringing it up, this time on Cam Newton's podcast saying Abel can sing "if you like the billy goat vibe."
