The Canadian singer, who was nominated 19 times and took home 8 awards, tweeted, “XO we took home 8 ! more than any male artist in history Thank you @billboard.”
Unfortunately for The Weeknd, his information wasn’t exactly accurate. Usher’s fans reminded the “Earned It” singer that back in 2004 Usher took home 14 awards.
After the faux pas, The Weeknd begged Usher’s forgiveness, tweeting, “Apologize to the OG @Usher, got excited and spoke to soon.”
