Swizz Beatz Unfazed by Usher's Performance with Alicia Keys at Super Bowl LVIII

Published February 12, 2024

Super Bowl LVIII's halftime show has left viewers with a lot to talk about, not least the cozy onstage interaction between Usher and Alicia Keys. The pair performed together, singing their classic duet 'My Boo,' which included a moment where Usher hugged Keys from behind, stirring a flurry of online commentary.

Despite the commotion on social media, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys' husband, was more concerned with promoting their art exhibit than addressing the harmless stage embrace. He took to Instagram to redirect the conversation to the couple's art event at the Brooklyn Museum, emphasizing positivity and historical achievements, rather than dwelling on negative speculation.

Some celebrities, however, didn't have the same laid-back reaction. Boosie Badazz called for Usher to apologize, while Gervonta Davis suggested that if he were Swizz Beatz, Usher might have ended up hospitalized. But these opinions didn't seem to faze Beatz, who remained focused on the success of the night's performance and the legacy he and his wife continue to build.

The halftime show proved to be more than just a concert; it became a moment for speculation and reactions, with some observers missing the celebration of two accomplished artists in favor of controversy. Luckily, the involved parties chose to stay above the fray, marking the event as a success in both music and entertainment.
