Usher shows his gratitude to Rihanna!
On Wednesday, the “Boyfriend” singer, 45, shared a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) of Rihanna expressing her support ahead of his 2024 Super Bowl halftime performance.
“Right recognizes right Thank you Queen @rihanna,” Usher wrote on X while reposting a clip of the Fenty founder, who headlined an event in February as she revealed her second pregnancy with partner A$AP Rocky.
“I can’t give Usher any advice,” Rihanna said in the video after being asked if she had any advice to pass on. “Usher is a natural, he’s a legend and he’s been doing this since he was a teenager.”
“He was made for that show,” the “Lift Me Up” singer continued in the clip. “I get excited about entertainers who do it, who are made to do it, and he just proved that in Vegas that he’s not going anywhere.”
