Usher has taken his talents to Paris for an eight-day residency and brought a piece of home with him during a recent show. The 44-year-old singer surprised fans by bringing Offset onto the stage.
The “Confessions” singer performed at La Seine Musicale on Sunday (Oct. 1) and had the crowd turned up. He took things to another level when the beat dropped for “Bad & Boujee” and he brought out the former Migos member to perform the 2016 smash hit.
“We from the SOUTH yeah THAT WAY @offsetyrn,” the eight-time Grammy winner wrote in the caption of his Instagram reel, showing off the exciting moment between two of Atlanta’s best. As Offset rapped the lyrics to “Bad & Boujee,” Usher stood on his side dancing along and hyping him up. Check out footage of the performance below.
Usher has been on a high for the last year, whether that be from his highly-discussed Las Vegas residency or the recent announcement that he will be performing at halftime during the 2024 Super Bowl. “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,” he said in a statement. “I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before. Thank you to the fans and everyone who made this opportunity happen. I’ll see you real soon.”
Apple Music promoted the momentous performance in a creative way, using footage from the “Confessions, Pt. II” music video from 2004 and editing in clips of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Deion Sanders, Odell Beckham Jr., Marshawn Lynch, and even current-day Usher himself speaking back-and-forth with the R&B legend about the announcement.
Jay-Z had glowing comments about the “Good Good” singer hitting the Super Bowl stage as well. “Usher is the ultimate artist and showman,” Hov said. “Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul. His remarkable journey has propelled him to one of the grandest stages in the world. I can’t wait to see the magic.” Check out one of the Apple Music promos below.
