The piece notes Usher’s circle addressed past altercation rumors, but the concert moments are fueling chatter about ongoing tension rather than an outright feud.

At Coachella, Bieber performed snippets of his older songs via YouTube clips on stage, but claims that selling his music catalog blocks him from performing those songs are incorrect. Experts say public-performance rights licensed by PROs cover live shows, and there’s no restriction in his deal with Recognition Music Group.

Billboard reports that rumors Bieber couldn’t perform older songs at Coachella because of his catalog sale are unfounded; insiders say there are no live-performance restrictions.
