Usher Halts Steamy Onstage Routine With Fan After Awkward Moment During Nashville Show
Usher is no stranger to making confessions.
It’s why he had no problem setting the record straight after an online conspiracy theory that he used a clone of himself to perform at his and Chris Brown’s Aug. 7 concert stop in New Jersey went viral.
The theory came across Usher’s desk when radio station Power 105.1 shared a video from the concert on Aug. 8, writing, “Sooooo folks are debating if this was really @USHER or he had a clone.”
The “Confessions” singer, however, was quick to shut down the rumor.
“Ya’ll are funny…clone? They can’t clone this??” Usher wrote in the comments section of the post. “How ya’ll come up with this? AI ain’t that advanced.”
In the video, the 47-year-old—dressed in white pants, a matching jacket, a backwards hat and sunglasses—appeared to be confused about where the stage entrance was before stepping out for the performance of his 2004 hit “Yeah!”
And while the Grammy winner’s entrance mix-up only fanned the flames of the conspiracy, armchair experts had a few reasons to believe that Usher was trading places with someone else.
