As Alicia Keys joined her longtime friend, Usher, to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, it became a popular conversation topic. Before his performance, a disclaimer was shown, as it mentioned that his performance would contain a number of things that might upset the viewers. The performance soon became a topic of controversy among the viewers, as the Good Good singer hugged Keys from behind, which raised questions from the fans.
The fans were visibly furious because Alicia Keys has been married to Swizz Beatz since 2010, and fans questioned Usher’s actions as he was a little too touchy than what the audience liked. The fans called out the Hey Daddy singer for his actions during the Super Bowl halftime show, as his performance turns into a toxic controversy.
Usher’s Performance With Alicia Keys Turns Into an Unsightly Controversy
Usher’s performance at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show was a big hit, as he was accompanied by Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. Jokingly, a disclaimer was featured that warned that his performance would feature “singing, dancing, sweating, gyrating, and possible relationship issues.”
The disclaimer became true while he was performing with Keys, where he was being way too touchy. Midway during the performance, Usher hugged the Girl on Fire singer, and fans were not too delighted about his act, as she is married to Swizz Beatz.
This act of Usher was immensely criticized by the fans as every social media was flooded with Usher hugging Alicia Keys as if they were in a relationship. The fans were visibly upset as they shared their opinion on X as the NFL (@NFL) uploaded the video of Usher hugging the singer with the caption “MY BOO!”

While fans have made controversy of Usher’s actions during his performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, fans were curious to know about Swizz Beatz’s reaction to Usher hugging his wife.
Swizz Beatz Reacts To Usher Hugging Alicia Keys
Swizz Beatz has been married to Keys since 2010. When the Superstar singer hugged his wife during the halftime performance, fans created controversy over his actions and was called out on social media. However, the issue soon became a laughing matter, as fans shared different gifs and images to share Beatz’s reaction. Jokes aside, the question remained : How did her husband react to the hug?
Swizz Beatz, who has been married to Keys since 2010, was present in the crowd along with their sons. Beatz took to Instagram after her performance at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime to share a number of pictures of his wife from her performance. The pictures featured the Superwoman singer standing in the bleachers and on the field in a red sparkly jumpsuit with a long red cape. Interestingly, the stories did not feature Usher.
The couple had known each other since they were teenagers and started dating soon after Beatz decided to part ways with his first wife, Mashonda Tifrere. Though Beatz and Keys were secretly dating each other for 2 years, their relationship came to public knowledge in 2010, when they announced they were getting engaged, as they were expecting their first baby together. This subtle yet striking action by Beatz showcases his love and trust toward his wife, and he will not let anyone ruin it.
