Contrary to sentiments expressed by the public, Swizz Beatz has made it clear that he isn’t troubled about Usher holding his wife, Alicia Keys, from behind, during his Super Bowl performance.
The U Got It Bad crooner, on Sunday, February 11, 2024, performed with Keys, and this had fans wondering if it would make Beatz uncomfortable.
Taking to Instagram, Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, noted that the performance was nothing more than two amazing giants teaming up to give a stunning performance. He went ahead to congratulate Usher and his wife Keys for a classic performance and added that he prefers making history to engaging in negative vibes.
Keys, 43, was the first guest to join Usher, 45, on stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Then came Jermaine Dupri with a cameo, as he commemorated the 20th anniversary of Usher’s iconic album Confessions. Coming up next was H.E.R. for 2004’s Bad Girl and then Will.I.Am for 2010’s OMG.
The audience went wild when Lil Jon and Ludacris joined a roller-skating Usher for a roof-raising rendition of their seminal hit Yeah!
