September 26th 2023.
Usher recently made headlines for his fan-favorite residency in Las Vegas, but it was his 'controversial' habit of serenading famous women that caused the most buzz. At the Sept. 24 show, Usher was about to serenade Gabrielle Union when he suddenly stopped and said, “I ain’t crazy!” upon seeing Dwyane Wade in the audience.
Usher made sure not to get too close to Union, especially with her husband, an NBA legend, in attendance. The Grammy winner received a hilarious reaction from the crowd, which was captured by HipHopDX. He jokingly said, “Let’s not get carried away, y’know, this is Dwyane Wade—I ain’t crazy! That man will knock my whole head off and then dunk it!”
That wasn’t the only celebrity Usher put in an awkward situation. The upcoming Super Bowl halftime show headliner also sang to Keke Palmer and her boyfriend, Darius Dalton, at his Vegas show in July. The situation sparked a debate on Black Twitter about what clothing for mothers is ‘appropriate’ and the traditional roles in relationships.
Despite the awkwardness, there appears to be no bad blood between Usher and Wade. Following the night of fun, the recently inducted NBA Hall of Famer expressed “love and respect” to Usher in his Instagram story. It’s safe to say that Usher won’t be serenading any more famous women who are publicly with someone else.
