About this listen
Usher has been making headlines with a flurry of high-profile activities over the last several days. The biggest buzz is his exclusive performance at the final wedding bash for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy. According to People Magazine and widespread entertainment reports, Usher and DJ Cassidy were chosen to headline the Saturday June 28 gala, following the couple’s star-studded black-tie ceremony on Friday. The event has drawn an elite guest list including Oprah Winfrey, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady, transforming Venice into a celebrity hotspot. Insiders describe the party as the ultimate musical send-off for guests, with Usher’s set expected to be a highlight, underscoring his status as one of the entertainment industry’s most sought-after live performers.
Elsewhere, Usher found himself unexpectedly pulled into the political arena as social media erupted over the Trump White House’s use of his song Hey Daddy as the soundtrack for an official video celebrating the former president’s NATO summit return. The White House video, posted on June 26, sparked a frenzy among fans and the Black Twitter community, with many urging Usher to take legal action or at least issue a cease-and-desist, pointing out that other major artists have publicly objected to similar uses of their music by Trump. So far, Usher has not responded publicly, which is drawing some criticism and speculation online about whether he will join the growing cohort of artists contesting such unauthorized uses.
Meanwhile, on the business front, Usher continues to build momentum with his Past Present Future tour, which recently announced new Brooklyn dates at Barclays Center in December. After earlier rescheduling due to an onstage injury in Atlanta and Hurricane Milton’s impact on Miami shows, his tour has been a testament to his enduring demand and resilience. The expanded slate now includes rescheduled Atlanta and Miami dates before heading abroad, with tickets for the Brooklyn shows set to go on sale November 1.
In summary, while the Venice wedding appearance is poised to be a lasting biographical footnote and testament to Usher’s legacy as an A-list entertainer, the Trump song usage controversy could also have longer-term cultural and legal ramifications if he chooses to act. For now, Usher remains at the center of the pop culture conversation, both on stage and online, with every move being closely watched by fans and critics alike.
