R&B singer Usher is currently on one of the biggest tours of his career. He has dozens of contracted tour dates all around the globe. And he’s being accused of using a body double during his shows.
Two weeks ago, Usher cancelled four tour dates – telling fans that he suffered a severe injury. But the tour – which is slated to bring in more than $100M to Usher and his family, eventually started.
Yesterday fans posted video from the show. And “Usher” both looked and sounded different. Many fans on TikTok are now speculating that the man in the video was not Usher, but rather a body double.
The video was taken from Usher’s show in Washington DC. Media Take Out spoke to multiple people in the venue, who thought the show was amazing.
But what do you think – is this Usher:
Usher is an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is recognized as an influential figure in contemporary R&B and pop music. Usher first released his self-titled debut album (1994) at the age of 15, and rose to fame in the late 1990s following the release of his second album, My Way (1997). It spawned his first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single “Nice & Slow”, and the top-two singles “You Make Me Wanna…” and the title track. His third album, 8701 (2001) saw continued success and contained two number-one singles, “U Remind Me” and “U Got It Bad”, as well as the top-three single “U Don’t Have to Call”. It sold eight million copies worldwide and won his first two Grammy Awards for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance consecutively in 2002 and 2003.
