At some point in the past couple of years, Usher has started hand-feeding cherries to female fans in the crowd at his shows. It’s a simple enough gag, but it’s made multiple headlines: Last month, rumors spread that one cherry recipient was leaving her husband due to her spicy public moment with Usher, but she later cleared the air by saying she hadn’t spoken to the singer since the show and she wasn’t even married anyway. A few shows later, Usher apologized to the crowd at his Abu Dhabi show, saying he couldn’t feed cherries due to the UAE’s strict public decency laws. Many awkward moments have occurred due to Usher’s cherry-feeding frenzy.
