Usher found himself in the news over the weekend after kicking a woman off stage for not being enthused by his performance. This took place in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, and the clip went extremely viral on social media.
For those who missed it, Gabrielle Cheyenne was invited on stage, but clearly didn't care for what Usher was doing. Her disinterest was so apparent that the singer had to intervene. In the aftermath, Cheyenne went off on internet commenters for calling her ungrateful and rude. She subsequently went on to say that she was only there for Chris Brown.
On Tuesday night, during a show in Birmingham, Alabama, Usher tendered a response of sorts. As you will hear below, he invited a fan on stage, but had a word of warning. Only agree to come up if you actually want to be there.
Usher Speaks Out
It was a very pointed comment, and a subtle dig at Gabrielle Cheyenne. However, it was also an important message to make. At the end of the day, you want your fans to enjoy the experience. Going up on stage takes a lot of courage, and not being interested in the performance can be embarrassing. That being said, it appears as though Usher is now putting in safeguards to avoid any issues going forward.
Gabrielle Cheyenne has been doing quite a few interviews since Saturday. Some believe she is trying too hard to achieve her 15 minutes of fame. Others are simply annoyed that her behavior got her so much attention.
Regardless, The R&B Tour continues.
