It was literally about having fun because of a song that me and Alicia made many years ago. And we celebrated because of the legacy of it. And no disrespect to anybody or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlamagne Tha God then asked Usher if he, Keys and Swizz have shared a laugh about the reactions to the hug.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cCaught Up\u201d star replied: \u201cAbsolutely we laughed about it. It\u2019s crazy how people [focused on] that. It\u2019s all about how you present things, man.

You gotta go to Jamaica, you know what I\u2019m saying? That was just a moment that was fun. And by the way, that was me playing my bass so I would have probably bumped my shoulder or my hand, but I had my bass in my hand so I just bopped off her body a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo back and look at the video and you\u2019ll understand \u2019cause I did it there for the first time. That was a little bit of Jamaican culture.<\/p>\n<p>However, Usher admitted that he was \u201creaching a bit\u201d when he slapped Nicki\u2019s butt and said: I shouldn\u2019t have smacked her butt.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">usher was so annoying for this \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Sy9Nc6QgD8\">pic.twitter.com\/Sy9Nc6QgD8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 savvy \ud83c\udf80 (@onikarchives) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/onikarchives\/status\/1756796280549085534?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the interview, Usher was also asked about <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0H_cyBkSA0g\"><em>The Boondocks<\/em> episode<\/a> where he was satirized as someone the ladies fall head over heels for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hit Regina [King, who voiced the main characters in the show] about that.
