*During a recent concert in London, Usher’s signature stage move almost led to a medical emergency when he offered cherries to a fan, unaware that she had a severe allergy to the fruit. The moment, which quickly went viral, left the superstar visibly concerned as the fan turned down the gesture, explaining her allergy.
The incident occurred as Usher was continuing his now-famous tradition of feeding fruit to audience members. The R&B superstar recalled the origin of this tradition during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” earlier this year, explaining, “It started with strawberries in Vegas… So, you know, I just figured we try all the fruits until we figured out which one works the best.”
He continued, “But cherries were something that I felt was fun and just kind of active. It was a bit erotic.”
However, the London concert revealed an unexpected risk to this fruity fan interaction. In a video of the moment, Usher appeared baffled as the fan declined the cherries. When she revealed her allergy, his reaction was immediate. “Oh sh*t, you’re allergic to cherries, damn!” he exclaimed, before asking, “Anybody got an epipen in this b*h?” Usher then apologized, hugged the fan, and reassured the crowd, saying, “We almost had an emergency in here.”
