Usher is being accused of using a lookalike at a concert
R&B singer Usher performed at MetLife Stadium on August 7 as part of his Raymond & Brown Tour with Chris Brown. A portion of the audience, however, is convinced he wasn’t actually there.
Videos from Usher’s recent concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey went viral on social media due to allegations that the “Yeah” singer had a lookalike fill in for him during the performance.
