After this public rejection, Harlow went on to her Instagram to compliment Usher and his show. She uploaded a series of pictures and videos on her official Instagram account.

One would assume she appreciated the star’s event, but her caption stated otherwise: “If you go to the Usher concert take pics in the bathroom 🔥🔥💘 lighting is fire!!!”

The caption clearly reads like a dig at the eight-time Grammy Award winner. The girlfriend of the Washington Wizards forward did not hold back at all.
