Usher is going viral for a video that shows him triple-asking a fan about her age! The singer halted the concert after the woman attempted to participate in his signature cherry feeding. After initially believing she said 16, Raymond hit her with “aht aht” energy. Ultimately, he did not feed her the fruit himself, and social media has been sounding OFF about the whole thing!
The singer is currently on the European leg of his ‘Past Present Future’ tour. Amid Usher’s performances, one video has caught social media’s attention for how he handled his doubt! The clip shows him walking down an aisle at the concert venue, holding a bowl of fruit and singing, “Can I feed you a cherry?” into the mic.
He stopped near the woman, still singing with his eyes closed. However, when he opened his eyes, he tilted his head, stared for a minute, and then asked her: “How old did you say you were?” She said something inaudible to him, and he responded, “Did you say 16?” and started walking away. After being a few steps away, he turned around and clarified that she was 19 years old. They then exchanged playful banter about having Black mothers, and that’s why she wouldn’t be a minor at the show.
“Are you really 19? You sure? Are you sure? Are you sure you’re sure? Alright just to be safe, I’m not feeding you a cherry. I’m gon let her feed you a cherry,” Usher said offering the fruit to a person standing next to the woman.
The Shade Room’s Instagram post received more than 3,800 comments. The reactions mostly applauded his refusal to let her participate by his hand.
