Subliminal shots fired within the R&B game? Certainly nothing new. Abel Tesfaye, commonly known as The Weeknd, has not taken it lightly that The-Dream sees his style biten. During his recent concert at SOB’s New York, Terius Nash commented that "there’s four ni**as that sound like me now," thus hinting at the Toronto native copying his style. The XO general did not hesitate to offer his view of things.

It did not take too long until The-Dream gave a response via his Twitter page.
