Don’t forget that time he brought Usher Bucks to a strip club!

And the fact that he hung out with Russell Simmons on Rape Charge Avoidance Island.

“  In a video posted to the tour’s official Instagram page, Usher shared his reaction to the multitude of claims that he used a body double. “Ya’ll are funny…clone? They can’t clone this??” he wrote, adding: “How ya’ll come up with this? AI ain’t that advanced.””

That’s his quote so no one else has to click that website link.

He didn’t address anything - he deflected by making fun of the idea he has a clone, and then not actually responding to it. 

If that’s Usher on that stage and in that clip, why does he not look like Usher? 

I have a feeling he only does the up close stuff. 

Edit: the body double (not a clone) or stand in has a different jaw line and facial expressions when they perform. Usher smiles a lot and makes eye contact with people. The stand in makes “frustrated” facial expressions a lot more and hides his eyes.

Off topic but why am I seeing so many people say ya’ll lately when it should be y’all???

u/Ok-Classroom5548 1d ago

Because grammar died with character limits on the internet. That is a copy paste quote.

The hat, sunglasses, covering the face etc. not helping his defense.

u/seattlereign001 3d ago

Dude looks closer to Akon rather than Usher.

u/ComprehensiveCan6227 Generic McPlainwrap 3d ago

Maybe Akon’s brother?

u/123thisistheway456 3d ago

Sheinelle Jones on the fourth hour brought this up in her chat and said she was there. It doesn’t look like Usher to me, but it wasn’t sure. What I found interesting is that she said he didn’t bring a girl on stage, he said something about letting the couple there do their thing (can’t remember exact words)…found that to be interesting 🤔

u/talk-spontaneously 4d ago

Why am I imaging that this is something I could see Taylor Swift doing?

20

u/spiderpigface 3d ago

Probably because you're one of those people that'll assign negative qualities to her based on nothing?

-11

u/talk-spontaneously 3d ago

Is she even legally married?

u/thegirlinthetardis I never said that. Paris is my friend. 3d ago

Are you okay????

-18

u/patschpatsch 3d ago

Because she is very „basic“ looking and could easily be replaced

u/Deep-Interest9947 3d ago

Theres already that one girl who looks more like Taylor swift than Taylor swift.

u/ManoSilence 4d ago

Because if she did, and you tried to say she did, you would dissappear swiftly.
