Girl, what is HAPPENING on these concert stages anymore? LisaRaye McCoy just served us a five-course meal of opinions about that viral Usher moment, and honey, we are LIVING for the drama!
So here’s the tea, sis: During Usher’s recent R&B tour stop, a fan was invited onstage for what should have been a dreamy moment, but instead became the most awkward interaction since your crush pretended not to see you at the grocery store. The fan apparently wasn’t feeling the vibe, and Usher had to physically escort them off stage like security at a VIP club. YIKES on bikes!
But wait, there’s MORE! LisaRaye McCoy, our favorite no-filter queen, decided to weigh in on her brand new YouTube show ‘Sh*t Chat’ and absolutely went IN. Without spilling all the piping hot details (she’s saving that for views, obvi), the legendary actress made it CLEAR that she has thoughts about how this whole situation went down. She wasn’t shy about dragging both the moment and the fan’s response, and let’s just say the energy was giving “disappointed godmother at Thanksgiving dinner.”
What really has social media in a chokehold is how LisaRaye called out the fan’s rebuttal. Apparently, this reluctant Usher stan had WORDS about being escorted off, and McCoy was absolutely NOT having it. The internet has been ping-ponging back and forth between defending the fan’s right to feel uncomfortable and siding with Usher for trying to create a moment. But LisaRaye? She’s team “girl, you got picked and you blew it!”
The comments section has been NUCLEAR, darling. Some fans are saying the person was clearly not comfortable and Usher should have read the room better. Others are arguing that when the King of R&B extends his royal hand, you take it and SMILE. The discourse is LOUD, and honestly? We’re here for every second of it.
This is exactly why we love LisaRaye – she doesn’t play into the PC police narrative. She says what everyone’s thinking in the group chat, and she does it with impeccable comedic timing. Her YouTube show is already proving to be must-watch content, and if this is just Episode One of the tea being spilled, we need to subscribe IMMEDIATELY.
What do you think? A) That fan had every right to feel uncomfortable and Usher should’ve respected it B) You got on that stage with Usher and you’re gonna perform, period!
