Usher expresses unwavering support for Diddy, emphasizing his legacy and contributions to the music industry despite ongoing controversies and legal issues.
During the 2025 run of his Las Vegas residency, Usher became known for a particular bit. Wrapped in a furry overcoat, the singer would descend from the stage with a glass full of ruby red maraschino cherries. He would then hand-feed the fruit to select members of the audience. It's a flirty, cheeky gesture that spawned numerous viral videos. But it also hints at something essential, but little-known, about Usher: He knows how to give a good gift.
"I've always collected [Baccarat] glasses. So being able to create my own feels not only like a great collaboration, but also a pivot for me into another space as a designer," Usher tells AD. The French brand's iconic tumblers hold special meaning for the singer, whose performance rituals have long involved a toast before or after a show with the crystal.
