Although the Kansas City Chiefs managed to pull in the historic victory in overtime, Super Bowl LVIII was painstakingly lackluster. Thankfully, the same cannot be said of Usher’s record-setting Halftime Show performance.

The “Ruin” singer’s rollerskating set not only featured some of his biggest hits (view the full setlist here) but also a few of his notable collaborators. Lil Jon, HER, Ludacris, and Alicia Keys headed to Las Vegas to join the fun. Today (February 12), users went back to rewatch the clip on the NFL’s official YouTube but quickly noticed a slight modification.

According to viewers, Keys’ vocal slip-up while opening with her 2003 song “If I Ain’t Got You” had been edited. Now, folks are calling out the NFL for allegedly correcting the vocal crack as a professional courtesy to Keys.

“Alicia Keys said, ‘Sike.’ Lol. Mandela effect happening right before our eyes,” joked one user.

“The way they fixed her vocals before uploading this on YouTube, LOL,” wrote one user.

“No way they fixed Alicia Keys’ voice online 💀💀,” said another.

“It be the non-music mfs on here like, ‘Alicia started in the wrong key.’ 😂😂😂 Terminology all wrong. She just cracked, babe😭,” penned another.

That isn’t the only thing users are up in arms with from Keys’ cameo. When Usher embraced Keys during their debut of “My Boo,” viewers began tagging her husband, producer Swizz Beatz demanding that he have a word with Usher. However, he laughed it off as the unbothered cool guy he’s always proven to be.

Alicia Keys hasn’t issued a response to the audio scrubbing. She’s probably just as unfazed as Swizz.

21 Savage is hitting the road this summer for the It’s All A Blur Tour alongside his friend and collaborator Drake. To prepare himself for the massive tour, the “Rich Flex” rapper has decided to make guest appearances at a few prominent festival stages, including Coachella and Dreamville Festival. But that’s not the only way he’s training. 21 Savage is also getting his vocals right during his downtime.

While attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency show, the musician joined the singer for a seemingly unlikely duet of Usher’s 2004 song “My Boo,” which originally featured Alicia Keys. While the Atlanta representative is known for his rough and tough rap songs, he’s actually a huge fan of R&B music. For years, he has showcased his love for R&B music, often going live on Instagram to sing along to some of his favorite songs.

Usher spotted Savage in the crowd and declared, “You know you love singing R&B and sh*t,” referring to the rapper’s live streams, then asked him to join in on the track. At first, Savage hesitated, but after being encouraged by Usher and the crowd, he cut loose to sing along.

Watch the full clip of 21 Savage singing along below.
