Some Fans Are Purportedly Asking for Their Money Back After Claiming ‘Something Was Off’ About New Jersey Show

Usher dismissed claims that he used a “clone” or body double during a recent concert after footage from a show in New Jersey prompted speculation about whether the performer on stage was really him. The rumours started after videos filmed at his 7 August performance at MetLife Stadium spread on social media. “Usher you can’t fool New York, that’s not you bro, I want my money back, one fan posted on X. “The Usher clone stuff is hilarious because I was watching someone’s live of the show last night and was thinking during his first set something was off about him, another said.

Usher, why’d you have to play us all like that last night? That is NOT Usher, a third fan wrote on TikTok. In some of the clips circulating online, Usher’s face is obscured by a hat and sunglasses, which many users say makes him look just different enough to raise eyebrows, with one fan dubbing the alleged double Unsure”.

The Yeah! singer responded directly to the allegations. Ya’ll are funny, he said, clone?

They can’t clone this? How ya’ll come up with this? AI ain’t that advanced, he said in a comment on Power 105.1’s Instagram post debating who was really on stage.

Usher is co-headlining the Raymond & Brown Tour” alongside Chris Brown.

Usher faced similar claims in 2024, when fans questioned whether he had used a body double on stage during the Past Present Future tour, which was delayed after he suffered a neck injury doing rehearsals, forcing him to postpone the first shows in Atlanta. My hope was that with physical therapy and medical treatment, I would be able to overcome the injury and be ready for opening night, he said at the time.
