Usher has copied Kim Kardashian by attempting to break the Internet with his own naked selfie.

The US pop star, 37, stripped off and gave his Snapchat followers a sneak peek at his steam room session.

He shared a naked black and white image of himself with nothing but a 'shocked' emoji to cover his modesty.

The shot was captioned: "blowinoffsteam."

The OMG singer also shared images of himself in the shower with his Samsung Galaxy S7 which he praised for staying in tact despite him spraying the shower directly at it.

He also posted videos of himself wrapped in a towel and brushing his teeth after taking his followers on a tour of his house.

Usher's selfie comes weeks after Kardashian sent social media into a frenzy by posting a naked image of herself posing in front of a bathroom mirror with only two black lines covering her modesty.

She was slammed by stars including Chloe Moretz, Bette Midler and Piers Morgan who described the image as "tacky".

The reality TV star hit back at the comments and called for an end to "body shaming".

Writing on her blog she posted: “It's 2016. The body-shaming and slut-shaming—it's like, enough is enough.

“I will not live my life dictated by the issues you have with my sexuality. You be you and let me be me."

Several stars have since followed in her footsteps including Sharon Osbourne and Scotty T who both recreated the look online.
