Cam'ron & Ma$e Slam Usher For 'Devious' Alicia Keys Hug: 'That's [Swizz Beatz's] Wife!'

Cam’ron and Ma$e have criticized Usher for hugging Alicia Keys from behind while performing at the Super Bowl.

On an episode of their sports show It Is What It Is that aired on Monday (February 12), the Harlem rappers reflected on the intimate moment between the “My Boo” collaborators.

“Alicia Keys — she did her thing too,” Murda said while recapping the halftime show. “I don’t know how Swizz [Beatz] felt about that hug at the last part, but it was a great performance.”

“He’s aggressive with people’s females, man,” Cam chimed in, which his co-host agreed with by pointing out: “That’s [Swizz Beatz’s] wife!”

Killa, who said he spoke to Swizz about the moment, continued: “[Usher] got a look on his face — a deviousness. But she had a face like, ‘Calm down a little bit’ too […] I’m just saying like, ‘Yo, that’s my man joint!’ Like, ‘Yo, my n-gga, calm down.'”

While Usher and Alicia Keys’ performative flirtation made headlines during the Super Bowl halftime show, the latter’s husband didn’t seem bothered by what people have been saying about it.

The day after the event, Swizz Beatz — who has been married to Keys since 2010 — took to social media to respond to the steamy moment and the internet chatter surrounding it.

The producer made it clear that he had no issue with Usher hugging his wife, saying: “Y’all talking about the wrong damn thing !!! y’all don’t see that amazing dress covering the entire stadium.

“Tonight’s performance was nothing but amazing with 2 amazing Giants ! Congrats @usher and my love @aliciakeys that song is a classic. We don’t do negative vibes on this side we make history.”

Others felt differently, with Boosie Badazz demanding an apology from Usher.

“@USHER ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BRO‼️U NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO SWISS,” the Baron Rouge rapper wrote on Instagram. “SHE MARRIED MY N-GGA I KNOW THAT WASNT PLANNED.”

Undefeated world champion boxer Gervonta Davis also had a negative reaction, tweeting: “Usher would have been on his way to the hospital as I write this if I was Swizz.”

The onstage cuddle evidently didn’t ruffle any feathers in Usher’s own relationship as the R&B legend reportedly married his girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea in Las Vegas on Sunday night (February 11) following the Super Bowl.
