Usher “Terrorist” Comments Continue As Charlamagne Calls R&B Star Out For Flirting With Multiple Women

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher has a woman in his life – Jennifer Goicoechea – who he loves very much, but that hasn’t stopped from the “Yeah!” singer letting his playboy antics run the show during his Las Vegas residency. When Keke Palmer sat in the audience, she and the R&B icon broke the internet as he sultrily serenaded her, much to the starlet’s baby daddy’s dismay. Thankfully, she and Darius Jackson managed to navigate their issues and continue raising their young son, Leodis, together. Usher, however, hasn’t stopped singing to other people’s partners while on stage, causing him to be put on blast by Charlamagne Tha God during a recent episode of The Breakfast Club.

“Let me tell you how much of a terrorist Usher is,” the Brilliant Idiots host told listeners. “He went from my wife to Doja Cat, who was clearly there with a guy,” Charlamagne explained. Seeing as the Scarlet artist has been dating J. Cyrus on the low for some time now, our bet is that she attended the concert with him. “He didn’t care,” the radio host noted of Usher’s nonchalance towards the men in the room. “Then, Jessica Alba was sitting behind me. He went and started singing to her, she’s married!”

Where the Texas-born recording artist drew the line, it seems, was with Jennifer Lopez. “Then he had the nerve to look at her and say, ‘I don’t want no smoke with Ben Affleck.’ Well what you want smoke with me for Usher?!” Tha God openly pondered. “He think you soft,” co-host DJ Envy suggested to his friend.

Interestingly, Charlamagne Tha God putting Usher on blast comes not so long after another media personality dragged his name through the mud. Earlier this week, Funk Flex seemingly implicated The Breakfast Club host in DJ Envy’s real estate fraud scandal.

Tiffany Haddish Hilariously Lusts Over Usher At His Show: Watch

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tiffany Haddish recently stepped out to see an Usher show, and looks to have had a great night. In a new clip, the comedian is seen filming him with her phone, sticking out her tongue and looking enthralled with his performance. The hilarious footage has gotten fans talking, with many finding her reaction all too relatable.

Haddish isn’t the only female celeb to be swept off their feet by R&B icon as of late, however. Over the summer, Usher also serenaded Keke Palmer, resulting in drama between the new mother and her man, Darius Jackson. This led to jokes that Usher was on a “Take Your Girl” tour. Despite speculation, Usher made it clear that he wants no part of the drama.

During his appearance on The Breakfast Club last month, he shared his side of the story. “I’m not Mr. Steal Your Girl, that’s Trey Songz,” he insisted. “I’m the guy who tells you not to leave your girl around me.” He further shared that he feels no guilt surrounding the controversy, as he was simply doing his job. “What would the guilt be, that I had a great show?” he wondered.

Usher isn’t the only performer that Tiffany Haddish has gone wild for recently, either. Last month, the Haunted Mansion actress spotted Shakira at the VMAs, and made it very clear that she was a fan. Her over-the-top reaction to seeing the Colombian songstress left some fans thinking she did too much, but Haddish later explained that Shakira was in on the bit. “What the camera didn’t show, was her security said ‘Okay, come come,’ and we go on over there behind the curtain and she’s like ‘oh my God Tiffany you’re so silly,’” she said. What do you think of Tiffany Haddish’s reaction to seeing Usher perform live? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more news.

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher’s return to music has included a whole bunch of storylines. One of the biggest pop culture news stories of 2023 was the drama including Keke Palmer and her ex Darius Jackson. That got messy, but Usher has made it clear he wants no more parts in that. Additionally, he has been talking a lot about his lengthy residency in Las Vegas and he was just picked to perform during one of the grandest sports events. He will be hosting the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but he had more news to share on top of that.

After a five-year album hiatus, he will be making a return with a new album on the day of the big game. His last release came back on October 12, 2018. It was a short collaborative project titled “A” with trap-producing legend, Zaytoven. We still have five months before that all happens, but it is great to see one of the most beloved R&B legends make a ceremonious comeback. He continues to ride this amazing winning streak with a recent performance during his residency in Paris.

According to HipHopDX, it is an eight-day stay and he is making the most of it. Right after performing “Ni**as In Paris” as a witty reference to that iconic Jay-Z and Kanye West track, he brought a Southern legend. “Bad and Boujee” began to play and out came Offset. In the video above from Usher’s Instagram, he is dancing and having a blast with him in front of the rabid fans. The Texas singer captioned the post, “We from the SOUTH yeah THAT WAY @offsetyrn.” Maybe both will work together on a song together?

What are your initial thoughts on Usher bringing out Offset to perform during his Paris residency? Do you think both of these artists will be on each other’s next albums?

Boosie Badazz On If Usher Tried To Steal His Girl: “Get Your A** Back!”

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this summer, Usher got some attention for serenading taken women amid his My Way residency in Vegas. He famously did a duet with Keke Palmer, and her boyfriend took to social media to diss her for the way she was dressed. Many social media users speculated, however, that he was more hurt by the romantic performance. The situation was met with a flood of jokes and memes on social media, and it was believed that Palmer and the father of her child had split. This was eventually proven to be false, and Usher even did a music video with Palmer as a nod to the incident.

Amid the drama, Boosie Badazz weighed in, claiming that Usher was on a “take your girl tour.‘” He shared more of his thoughts on the situation during a recent interview with VladTV, and according to him, he wouldn’t let it slide. The rapper explained what he’d do if the artist tried to take his woman, claiming that the only solution to the problem is to not bring your partner to see Usher at all.

Boosie Claims He’d Kick Usher “In His D*ck”

“Usher’s the truth,” he began. “He looks 14. He’s gonna sing your b*tch’s drawls off.” Boosie then went on to reveal that he’d ditch his partner if she were seduced by Usher. “It couldn’t be me. I would’ve left that b*tch right there. And we gonna fight when we get to the room.”

He continued, “That n***a will grab your hand and pull you off your n***a’s lap… He couldn’t do it to me and I was drunk. I’d kick him in his d*ck – ‘Get your a** back! Gone head!’ You take your b*tch to see Usher, that is your fault.” The Louisiana-born performer also went on to claim that it’s crucial for women to have respect for their partners, as well as themselves. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Boosie Badazz.

Quavo Pops Out At Usher’s Show With Rumored New Boo

July 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For those not caught up on the rumor mill, Quavo and Lori Harvey recently shut down rumors that they were seeing each other. Moreover, it seems like this came at a pretty convenient but also possibly messy time, because it seems like the former Migo just debuted a new relationship. Recently, he went to one of Usher’s shows with gymnast Erica Fontaine. “I hope you don’t mind if I serenade your lady real quick,” the singer told the Georgia rapper as he approached them in the crowd. While this is still just sheer speculation at the end of the day, it’s also a slightly stronger suggestion of a pairing than whatever got people thinking he and Lori Harvey had something going on.

Of course, this is also notable because of all the serenades that Usher offered to famous women recently. The most notable instance was Keke Palmer getting blasted by her boyfriend Darius Jackson for it, which went down a bit over a week ago. The latest famous female to fall under the R&B star’s spell was Kash Doll. Even though it’s unclear how much this applies to Quavo’s situation, as it’s just a rumor, it’s still at least fun to see the Confessions icon cheekily play into that, even if he might not care what results from it.

Regardless, Quavo has much bigger fish to fry ahead of the release of his next studio album, Rocket Power. Furthermore, he recently released the single “Turn Yo Clic Up” with Future, which caused its own online ruckus due to Fewtch’s lyrics. In addition, through messages to his late rap partner, it’s clear that this whole album and rollout is a tribute to Takeoff’s life and legacy. “Think About You All The Time I’ll Never Forget About You!!!,” the 32-year-old recently expressed on his Instagram Story. “I Miss U So Much And No One Will Take Yo Spot Twin U My Left Hand [left hand emoji] Come On Now!!! OTHERSIDE BOYS.”

Meanwhile, he also recently made up with his fellow former Migo Offset, as they reunited for a performance honoring Take. Considering all the speculated beef that they had and the group’s breakup, this was a very heartening moment for fans. After a lot of pain, struggle, and contention, hopefully this upward trajectory continues for all involved, whether in music, family, or love. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Quavo.

Usher Crowd-Surfing During Las Vegas Concert

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans probably knew what to expect going into Usher’s residency in Las Vegas, or so they thought. Yesterday a video surfaced on Twitter of Usher jumping into the audience and crowd-surfing in the middle of a song. While crowd-surfing isn’t anything unusual at a show Usher probably isn’t the first name you’d think of doing it. Usher is in the middle of a residency at the MGM in Las Vegas playing a number of shows in June and July. He’s also scheduled to return to the stage later this year for a further residency in October.

Earlier this month Usher performed at The Roots’ Picnic festival in Philly. Before his Sunday night set fans caught videos of him just walking around the festival. Fans went crazy around the singer as he made his way through the crowd during someone else’s set, much to his amusement. Alongside Usher, the festival roster included GloRilla, Lauryn Hill, Ari Lennox, City Girls, and more.

Usher Dives Into The Crowd

Last month Usher was asked about what his dream collaboration was and the answer was pretty surprising. His choice was the legendary film director and king of mobster movies Martin Scorsese. While he’s been in a handful of movies before his dream job would be collaborating with the Goodfellas director. In the same interview, he made sure not to get fans’ hopes up after a recent rumor. The singer confirmed that there was no plan to release a sequel to his classic 2004 album Confessions. Instead, he’s trying to look forward and come up with new ideas to pursue.

Usher’s last album came out back in 2016. Hard II Love was his 8th album and it debuted at number 5 on the Hot 100. He followed it up with a short collaborative project with Zaytoven called in 2018 called A. He dropped “GLU” his first new single of 2023 so far and his most recent new material back in March. What do you think of Usher crowd-surfing during his residency in Las Vegas? Let us know in the comment section below.

Usher Gets Up Close & Personal With Kimora Lee Simmons During Las Vegas Residency: Watch

April 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there’s one thing Usher’s Las Vegas residency stint has confirmed to fans, he’s just as much of a ladies’ man as ever. Since embarking on his latest round of shows in Sin City, the Houston native has surprised his audience with plenty of beautiful celebrity guests, from Teyana Taylor to Yung Miami. He’s been known to serenade a special select few attendees, and while Kim Kardashian previously got the star treatment, this weekend it was her friend who caught Usher’s attention.

As TMZ reports, Baby Phat designer Kimora Lee Simmons joined the socialite and her sister, Khloé, at the “OMG” hitmaker’s concert on Saturday (April 29). When Usher spotted them in the crowd, he didn’t hesitate to make the 47-year-old the object of his affection, singing to her while other patrons gazed on in envy. The fashionista didn’t hesitate to touch on the performer’s abs as he stood over her, and the younger Kardashian looks to have gotten in on the action as well. While it may be too close for comfort for some, Simmons and Usher are no strangers.

Usher Serenades Kimora Lee Simmons

She and the father of four previously worked together on his “Nice & Slow” visual several decades ago, in which things also got steamy. While Kim’s friends enjoyed the flirtatious action, she appears to have sat back and taken in the show, despite her very-much single status. This marks the SKIMS founder’s second weekend in a row visiting Vegas to watch Usher perform, proving just how much of a die-hard fan she is. Kardashian initially planned to catch a show some time back but ultimately had to postpone. Thankfully, she still got to experience a first-hand serenade from the vocal legend himself.

While the ongoing performances are certainly taking up much of his schedule, the 47-year-old has made it clear that he has his sights set on even bigger things. Just last week, he said he’s hoping to throw his hat in the ring to follow up Rihanna’s legendary Super Bowl Halftime show. Confirmation has yet to come, but it would surely be one for the books. Watch Kimora Lee Simmons’ appearance in Usher’s 1998 music video below. Afterward, tell us if you’ve been enjoying his Las Vegas residency antics so far in the comments.

Usher sang directly to Joe Budden’s girlfriend, Shadée Monique, in Las Vegas on Sunday night during his residency in the city. Monique shared the moment he sang her “There Goes My Baby” in a post on Instagram afterward. In the clip, he daps up Joe Budden before taking Monique’s hand and performing for her.

Budden and Monique are two of many celebrities who have been in attendance at Usher’s Las Vegas residency.

Usher has ambitions that extend beyond Las Vegas as well. He recently admitted that he hopes to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show. “I’d be a fool to say no,” Usher said during an interview with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans. “Well, I mean, you know, things line up that we would all hope. You know, one day, that moment will happen.” Usher also mentioned several famous performances, including Michael Jackson, Prince, and Dr. Dre. He added that adding his name to the list is on his “bucket list.”

Ahead of his residency in Sin City, Usher spoke with BET about wanting to make each show memorable for the audience. “That’s because of the time and passion I put into the art,” he said. “The art is the show, the music is the offering, right? Because everybody’s going to interpret what I’m saying maybe a different way because of their experience or what they feel. But the art of it and the time where I get a chance to give something to people that they’ll remember forever is in that moment. So that’s what I love about performing live for my fans.”

Usher Serenades Kim Kardashian During Las Vegas Residency

April 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher serenaded Kim Kardashian during his show in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The performance comes months after Kardashian had to cancel a trip to see the legendary singer perform for her birthday. For the event, Kardashian watched on from the VIP section. She sat with her childhood friend, Allison Statter, hairstylist Chris Appleton and his partner, Lukas Gage.

“C’mon, Kim,” Usher said to the 42-year-old. Kardashian shared several videos of her and her friends singing along to “Confessions” and “My Boo” on her Instagram Story. “Finally made it to see @usher but my girls are mad they aren’t here soooo I just have to come back with them ASAP,” she wrote in one post.

Kardashian’s original trip out to see Usher was canceled as her private plane ride to Vegas was unable to fly due to high winds. “The plane couldn’t land due to the wind so looks like our Carbone party and @usher concert isn’t happening and we are heading back home,” Kardashian explained at the time. She ended up celebrating with her friends at an In-N-Out Burger.

Usher’s latest Las Vegas residency has been a star-studded affair in recent days. Yung Miami, 21 Savage, Teyana Taylor, and more have made appearances. Ahead of his latest stint in Sin City, Usher spoke with BET about his love for performing in front of his fans and giving memorable shows. “That’s because of the time and passion I put into the art,” he said. “The art is the show, the music is the offering, right? Because everybody’s going to interpret what I’m saying maybe a different way because of their experience or what they feel. But the art of it and the time where I get a chance to give something to people that they’ll remember forever is in that moment. So that’s what I love about performing live for my fans.”

Yung Miami Performs At Usher’s Las Vegas Residency

April 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher brought out Yung Miami to perform their 2022 collaboration, “Good Love,” during a show for his residency in Las Vegas, earlier this week. The City Girls rapper shared pictures from the night on Instagram, Saturday.

“Vegassss!!!!!!” Yung Miami wrote in the caption of the post, which features several photos of her behind the scenes as well as on stage. Usher commented with several fire emojis while Saweetie replied with a heart eyes emoji.

Miami is far from the first celebrity Usher brought out for his Las Vegas residency. Back in March, the singer honored Queen Latifah at the event. During his first residency in the city, he also welcomed Diddy on stage. Ahead of his latest stint in Sin City, Usher spoke with BET about his love for performing in front of his fans and giving a memorable shows. “That’s because of the time and passion I put into the art,” he said. “The art is the show, the music is the offering, right?

But the art of it and the time where I get a chance to give something to people that they’ll remember forever is in that moment. So that’s what I love about performing live for my fans.”

As for Yung Miami, outside of performing with Usher, she’s also working on new music of her own. During a new cover story for The Cut, she confirmed that a new album will be coming at some point in the summer. “Girl, I ain’t even gonna tell! I don’t know, like it is coming, and it will be sometime this summer for real, for real, for real. When you doing a project, it takes time,” she explained to the outlet. “We’re trying to sit through it and make sure that that’s what we want to put out. It’s gonna hit different.”
