Here’s a funny video of Usher serenading an overzealous fan on stage in concert at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Usher was singing “Trading Places” to a woman who was all over him, really getting into it and knew all the words to the song. The two were lounging on a recliner on stage when the woman tried to flip around to get face to face with him – and ended up kicking him in the face with her boot! That’s at 5:23 in the video above.
The woman apologized, wiped Usher’s face and seemed embarrassed that she got so carried away. Usher immediately stopped singing and the crowd was roaring. He joked “We play most of the day, you know, we kick each other in the face and all kinds of stuff.” He then stopped the song, gave the fan a hug, and then stepped off stage.
Aw, I like how he handled that! Usher could have been mad but he played it off well.
Rumor has it that Usher is cheating on his current girlfriend, his co-manager and stylist Grave Miguel, with a backup dancer named Saidah. Usher divorced his first wife and the mother of his two young sons, Tameka Foster, in 2009.

Well we can tell she isn’t a stripper!
Nicely done….he could have had her ushered right outta there.
Yeah, she was a little too active.
stretch it girl…not! hahahaha.
That was funny and he handled it well. I would have been so embarrassed if I was her.
His girlfriend’s name is Grave??
I remember when I had such a crush on him back when he released the Confessions album.
I always hoped that he and Alicia Keys were going to be a couple when they did that ‘My Boo’ duet.
That is too funny. It was handled really well. I know a ton of people love Usher – “Caught Up” is a kickass song. But whenever I see him perform all I see is a sexed up version of Michael Jackson – I don’t see any originality.
Aww, I’m glad he handled it so nicely. (I’m kind of surprised he wasn’t a ‘primadonna’ about it, for some reason. Not sure why.)
I know she had to be SO embarrassed and upset. You could tell how horrified she was. And I guess that’s a risk when they pull someone up and let them get *that* close. At least she wasn’t one of ‘nutty’ fans who intentionally take it too far.
I’m not a huge fan of Usher, but this makes me like him a bit more than I have for a while.
He handled it like a gent. Good for him! And I love the look on her face… she’s like, “Oh yeah, I’m sexy, check me out… OH MY GOD I JUST KICKED USHER IN THE FACE.” Ha, bless her heart. Her friends will be telling this story for years.
Usher’s looking kind of rough, but maybe that’s the look he’s going for?
That was funny and I’m sure got a lot more press with the kick included, poor girl. Hope it didn’t really hurt him.
Usher is all kinds of yummy hotness 🙂
