The moment took place during one of Usher’s 10 headline shows at The O2 arena in London earlier this month, as part of his massive ‘Past Present Future’ tour.

During the gig on April 2, the R&B icon broke out the segment where he sings his 2010 track ‘There Goes My Baby’, and walks through the audience handing out cherries to women in the audience. However, this time around, it was the particularly intense moment between himself and a fan that got a bigger reaction than usual, with footage of the interaction going viral.

As seen in clips shared to TikTok, the ‘Yeah!’ singer went up to a woman in the audience and made eye contact, leaning in towards her and singing. Things then went a step further when he held out two cherries and dangled them over her mouth, where she then began to seductively eat them in front of him.

Since then, one clip of the moment alone has gathered over 700,000 likes on TikTok, and the fan has been identified as Jimalita Tillman, who came to see the singer in London after travelling all the way from Chicago.

In a new interview with her hometown’s WGN9, the fan explained what the interaction meant to her, and acknowledged the viral rumours that the sultry moment with the R&B giant led to her getting a divorce shortly after the show.
