Taking up residency has become more and more common among major music artists. It's also getting more relevant as a handful of particular shows have made some major waves this year. Adele's series of shows have featured some memorable fan interactions and plenty of high-profile celebrities in attendance But it's been nothing compared to Usher, whose shows have attracted all kinds of celebs from the world of music, film, and sports.

One of the biggest celebrity dramas of the year happened during one of Usher's shows. Video made the rounds online of Keke Palmer at the show interacting with Usher himself. Her boyfriend Darius Jackson took issue with the interaction on social media calling out Keke for her choice of attire. As a result, dozens of fellow celebs and hundreds of thousands of fans online shared their takes on the situation. But now, the rap world is getting a Las Vegas residency that could be just as big. Wu-Tang Clan have announced their intentions to take to the city next year. Check out the announcement below.
