Usher Says He Regrets Spanking Nicki Minaj's Butt At 2014 MTV VMAs
HuffPost
The R&B star made the unexpected move during the duo’s performance of their song, "She Came to Give It to You."
Usher has a confession to make about his performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.
While appearing on Monday’s episode of Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club,” the recent Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show headliner reflected on a resurfaced clip of him slapping Nicki Minaj’s butt during their VMAs performance a decade ago.
“Have you seen some of your old moments, like when you were onstage with Nicki Minaj and you were head buttin’ her ass? Why was you so unhinged?” host Charlamagne Tha God questioned him about the performance.
During the duo’s set of their song, “She Came to Give It to You,” Usher, 45, banged his head against Minaj’s derrière and spanked her while he played the bass guitar.
The “U Got It Bad” singer told Charlamagne and his co-host, Jess Hilarious, that the impromptu moves were inspired by Jamaica’s dance culture.
