Usher had the arena on fire during his Washington, D.C., stop for ‘R&B’ tour, but the biggest moment mightve happened when he spotted a familiar face chilling in the crowd. While performing ‘Nice & Slow,’ the singer paused mid-performance after noticing none other than Dave Chappelle among the concertgoers, instantly turning the R&B stars show into a viral celebrity moment.
As Usher made his way through the audience with his signature red Goyard bag full of Usher Bucks, he stopped and asked, Is that Dave Chappelle? before the cameras revealed the comedian enjoying the show.
