Usher and Keke Palmer made headlines after viral video of the pop star serenading the new mother surfaced, but it turns out Palmer isn’t the only celeb Usher has given special attention to.

The Viral Keke Palmer Serenade 

It’s this large following that’s allowed Usher to currently hold residency in Las Vegas, where he’s set to stay until October. It was at one of these residency shows where the now famous clip of Keke and Usher went viral.

The clip gained so much extra attention due to Palmer’s boyfriend, Darius Jackson’s, response on Twitter, where he essentially body-shamed his girlfriend, in a seemingly jealous, and very public manner.

Since then, Jackson and Palmer have called it quits, and Palmer and Usher released a music video together, filled with plenty of petty lyrics bashing Jackson, much to fans’ delight.

While most fans already believed Jackson’s reaction was uncalled for, Usher has actually serenaded a number of other celebs at his show. Leading many to ask, is it all part of the show, or is Usher looking for love?

Usher Serenades Other Female Celebs

Most notably, the singer also serenaded reality TV star Kim Kardashian back in April. Usher sang, ‘My Boo’ to the celeb, and Kardashian herself documented the whole thing on her Instagram story, back in April of 2023.

Another star the “More” singer sang sweetly to was actor, writer, and producer, Issa Rae. The interaction between these two was actually posted on Usher’s own IG, and took place in October of 2022.

But the list doesn’t stop there. Usher also made sure to give a little extra love to rapper Saweetie.

Saweetie’s serenade took place in July of 2022, and though the rapper herself is a performer, she left it all to Usher.

The most recent woman to be serenaded is none other than Winnie Harlow. Harlow had arguably the best reaction to Usher choosing her.

Whether or not Usher’s special celeb serenades are all part of the show, or he’s looking to find that special someone, is still up for debate.
