American record producer, rapper, disc jockey (DJ), and songwriter Kasseem Daoud Dean known professionally as Swizz Beatz enthusiastically supports wife Alicia Augello Cook known popularly as Alicia Keys following criticism over her close moment with Usher during the Super Bowl 2024 halftime show.
Dismissing the controversies, Beatz applauded the performance, emphasizing the impressive visuals and the iconic duo’s rendition of the classic “My Boo.”
Social media followers join in praising the historic show, shutting down negativity and emphasizing the significance of the stellar performance.
Usher’s halftime spectacle, featuring special guests Lil Jon and Ludacris, was hailed as one of the best in history.
“Y’all talking about the wrong damn thing, Beatz, 45, wrote on Instagram after several viewers commented on how Usher, 45, hugged Keys, 43, from behind during the Las Vegas set.
“Yall 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, the record producer added, referring to the pair’s “My Boo” duet.
“We don’t do negative vibes on this side we make history, Beatz, born Kasseem Daoud Dean, concluded. He also went on to plug the art exhibit he shares with Keys at the Brooklyn Museum,” Swizz Beatz stated.
Several of Beatz’s social media followers joined the DJ in slamming those who thought Keys was getting a little too cozy with the “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love Again” singer.
“Ppl don’t know what a performance is anymore. Bruh, smh everything is a joke,” one angry user wrote. “That was the best Super Bowl performance since Michael Jackson but no one speaking about that smh.
“It’s no different from when u see actors on screen,” a second person explained. “It’s just a performance. It was strategic and it worked, clearly. Lol, the internet running wild with it.”
Days before his big show, Usher took a break from rehearsals to open up about the career highlight in an exclusive interview with The Post.
“You know, this has been an amazing year ramping up to this,” he said of his “My Way” Las Vegas residency that finished at the Dolby Live-Park MGM in December after 17 months and 100 shows.”
