RGM’s Top Music Stories of the Week, Ep. 2 (July 26): Usher’s On-Stage Moment Takes a Turn When Fan Isn’t Interested

It looks like a fan wasn’t feeling Usher’s advances at a recent show. It happens.


Sunday: Usher Gets Denied While On Stage

Usher is currently on tour with Chris Brown for one of the biggest tours of the year, the R&B Tour. If you know anything about these two, they have plenty of steamy records and have no problem performing them while serenading attractive fans on stage. While this kind of interaction has happened countless times before, one recent moment stood out because the woman Usher invited on stage didn’t seem interested.

That prompted the “Yeah!” singer to ask her to leave the stage, DJ Jazzy Jeff style. (Okay, he didn’t actually throw her off, but he did send her ass packing.)

While I’m sure most fans would happily play along during a moment like that with Usher, there are plenty of reasons why she may not have been into it. Maybe she was nervous. Maybe his breath was hot. Maybe she had to boo boo. Maybe she simply didn’t want a random married man getting that close to her. Whatever the reason, she reacted how she reacted, and honestly, I’m not mad at it.

Monday: JAŸ-Z Adds Two More Shows To His Schedule

I’m keeping a close eye on JAŸ-Z because I have a feeling that new album is coming. I just know it. In the meantime, he’s added even more shows to his schedule, including stops in Los Angeles and London. My guess? He’s testing the waters. Maybe he’s trying to figure out if he still enjoys being in rap’s spotlight. I’m sure he still loves making music, but does he still have the patience for everything that comes with it? The endless debates, the marketing, the interviews, the expectations, and the criticism? At this stage of his career, it almost feels like making music is optional for him. If there are any clues about what’s next, I think they’ll come during one of these performances.

Tuesday: Trippie Redd Drops Preview Of New Album NDA

I don’t know the last time I was excited for a Trippie Redd album, but I’m telling you right now, I can’t wait to hear his new NDA project. Some people feel like he’s done, but it just doesn’t feel that way to me. I really think he has a lot more to offer, and now that he has a baby to feed, I can see him being even more motivated.

This project has me excited as hell. Just based on the preview alone, the beat he teased is f**king insane. Also, people sleep on it, but he has a single with Young Thug that I thought was pretty damn good.

I could definitely see this being his comeback album. If it doesn’t hit, though, he may have to start speaking podcast, buddy.
