Everyone is familiar with rap beef, but R&B beef? The Dream and The Weeknd go at it, after The Dream spoke on his thoughts about the several artists known for copying off his style. The Dream does not mention any names, however all of the shots seem to be geared at The Weeknd. Hip Hop Wired reports:

As The Weeknd emerged in 2011 with critically acclaimed projects like House Of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes Of Silence; the comparison in styles between him and accomplished songwriter, The Dream grew. So when The Dream took his Cut Kill The Lights Off tour through the media capital of the world, the Grammy-Award winning artist let his feelings known about numerous artists biting his style. Although The Dream never named names, all clues pointed toward the Canadian crooner. “I haven’t done a show in close to two years. And ever since then, there’s like, four n****s that sound like me now. I’m just being honest,” The Dream said to a sold-out SOBs crowd in New York City. After this, it didn’t take The Weeknd long to respond. “Hamburglar lookin’ A** N****,” The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye tweeted last night. “All I need are my brothers and my fans. Fawk the bullS***. This N**** is so hood, he thinks my name is The Weekender. I was raised old fashioned, you get at me, I get at you. Ain’t no sideways Isht about it.”

The Dream responded ” Like my father said, ‘say your piece son. If a man feel uncomfortable enough a cheat, and a liar will identify [himself.]’ Amen. Now I know for sure,” he began. “I said I was honest not petty. I’m going to support the movement where if you can’t say it in person don’t say it. Nothing but love from here lil’ homie. Don’t get fooled or tricked and try to come up on a N**** like me , won’t work just do you if you truly are then what we talkin about. Now I’m going to leave it at that.”

Mr. Nash also went on to offer apprenticeship in a few tweets, offering to call his phone and talk things out and shot down any rumblings of a brewing beef by giving The Weeknd props. “Y’all better quit hypin n****s up. [You] can’t beef by yourself. Beef would have to mean insecurity [or] jealousy. Two things I know nothing about, I’m dope! Like I said, I think the world of the boy and nothing will change that. He’s very talented and it’s nothing for me to say that. [There isn’t] enough R&B to beef and its no fun ballin’ by yourself. Restore order.”
