Usher and Alicia Keys got close during the Super Bowl halftime show… and they got pretty close for some people’s liking, although Alicia’s husband doesn’t seem concerned at all.
Not only did Swizz Beatz not take offense, he laughs at all the critics who were outraged on his behalf and tells them that their focus is in the wrong place, and that they should worry about the back hug (from Usher to Alicia), Swizz says look what they did!

He writes: “Everyone talking about the wrong damn thing! You all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium ⚡️🚨😂😂😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 Tonight’s performance was nothing but incredible with two incredible Giants!”
Swizz went on to say, “Congratulations @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic 🤍 We don’t do negative vibes on this side we make history ✌🏽 Go see GIANTS at @brooklynmuseum it’s open until July blessings.”
In other words, he’s not jealous, despite what a lot of people may feel.
By the way, Usher’s performance got a lot of buzz on social media for this particular moment… him wrapping Alicia in his arms from behind as they sang a duet, “My Boo.”
One notable person who commented on this was boxing star Gervonta Davis, who suggested that she would use her boxing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s to teach Usher a thing or two about boundaries. Boosie Badazz even demanded that Usher apologize publicly.

In fact, there were some who were really angry. But even so, Swizz seems to maintain an impressive calm.
Clearly he is comfortable with Alicia, remember that they have been married for several years.
Usher’s move caused quite a stir, with some invoking Keke Palmer’s husband to prove their point.
Anyway, we broke the story about Alicia’s cameo in SBLVIII , where the two music megastars reminisced about their multi-platinum 2004 song, recreating the hot scenes from the video.
Social networks like controversy… but Swizz was careful to put cold words on it.
