Usher, the R&B sensation, delivered a spectacular halftime show at the Super Bowl LVIII. The clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers was held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Donned in all-white attire and accompanied by a lively ensemble of dancers, Usher kicked off the performance with one of his iconic hits, ‘Caught Up’.

Usher also invited some features in his performance and collaborated with Will.i.am and Ludacris. However, it was his performance with Alicia Keys that grabbed attention for the wrong reasons. Their closeness during the performance drew many to insinuate more than what was. Gervonta Davis expressed concern, suggesting that Usher appeared too close to Alicia Keys during the performance. Davis emphasized that the situation might not have ended well if he were Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys’ husband.

As Usher immersed himself in the performance, Alicia Keys made a captivating entrance behind a vibrant red piano. She was adorned in a matching, sparkly red outfit. She mesmerized the audience with a rendition of her hit ‘If I Ain’t Got You’. The musical journey continued as Usher and Keys collaborated on their duet ‘My Boo’, creating a heartwarming moment that beautifully revisited their 2004 smash.

As the song concluded, Keys gracefully exited. However, right before his exit, Usher stood behind Keys, while the song faded out. Gervonta Davis mentioned this in his now-deleted tweet. He stated that he wouldn’t have felt comfortable if Usher had done the same with his wife.

In his post, he said, “Usher would’ve been on his way to the hospital as I write this if I was Swizz.” The now-deleted tweet and its subsequent replies were shared on Twitter by ‘BOXINGnBBQ’.

But, Davis’s comment didn’t seem to have any effect on the relationship between Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, as he posted a wholesome post on his Instagram.

Swizz Beatz is keeping away from the negativity

Swizz Beatz, husband of Alicia Keys, took to Instagram to share his reaction to the heartfelt duet between Keys and Usher during the Super Bowl halftime show. Addressing fan responses, and the surrounding negativity, Swizz Beatz wrote a lengthy post.
