    Swizz Beatz reacts to Usher smooching wife, Alicia Keys, on Super Bowl stage

    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.”

  • Swizz Beatz gave French Montana a camel for rapper’s 38th birthday

    French Montana celebrated his 38th birthday on Thursday by throwing a star-studded party at his Hidden Hills estate, which now features a roaming camel courtesy of Swizz Beatz.

    Among a party of guests that included celebrities such as Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Vin Diesel, Tiffany Haddish, Jordin Sparks, Soulja Boy, Coi Leray, Swizz Beatz, King and Justin Combs, Swizz appeared to have given the birthday boy the best gift.

    French took to Instagram last night to express his excitement. “Shout my n***a Swizz. He got me a camel for my birthday,” Montana captioned a video of him walking the camel around his property. Swizz added, “Had to bring my brother a Big gift @saudibronx HBD @frenchmontana BX Zaaaaaaaa.”

    Back in October, Swizz spoke with Variety about his new passion: Camel racing.

    “Before you buy camels, you get to observe them,” he shared. “There’s test races where you can get to understand the attitude of the camels. Say, for instance, you’re seeing a camel suddenly go from the right lane to all the way across to the left — you can tell that that camel has a bad attitude. That might not be your best camel out of the gate. You want a camel that is focused, that listens to commands. You want camels from great homes and breeders. They get treated very well — amazing food, massages. Camels have to feel the love to give the love. You can’t have stressed-out camels in a race. Camels are sacred over there.”

    Meanwhile, French’s birthday celebration arrives ahead of the release of his latest full-length offering, Coke Boys 6. Slated to drop Dec. 6, CB6: The Money Heist Edition will include the previously released single “Yes I Do,” as well as features from Babyface Ray, EST Gee, Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Benny the Butcher, Quavo, Fleurie, and the late Chinx.
