Swizz Beatz has responded to Usher and Alicia Keys’ steamy moment at the Super Bowl while they performed their collaboration “My Boo.”
Swizz, who has been married to Keys since 2010, was seemingly aware of the internet chatter over the moment in which Usher placed his hands around the “No One” singer during his halftime show on Sunday night (February 11).

One person who didn’t enjoy the flirtatious moment was Boosie Badazz, who demanded an apology from Usher.
“@USHER ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BRO‼️U NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO SWISS,” he wrote on Instagram. “SHE MARRIED MY N-GGA I KNOW THAT WASNT PLANNED.”
Undefeated world champion boxer Gervonta Davis also had a negative reaction, tweeting: “Usher would have been on his way to the hospital as I write this if I was Swizz.”
Alicia Keys wasn’t the only surprise guest to join Usher during his Super Bowl performance.
Ludacris and Lil Jon came out to perform their No. 1 hit “Yeah!” while Jermaine Dupri made a brief cameo to introduce “Confessions Part II.”
H.E.R. also appeared for a guitar solo and will.i.am helped Usher perform “OMG.”
Overall, Usher crammed a medley of 13 hits into roughly 13 minutes of performance time and was watched in the crowd by stars such as JAY-Z, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
The Super Bowl itself finished with the Kansas City Chiefs beating the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 25-22, with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes being named MVP for the second year running.
