Usher issued an apology after finding himself on the receiving end of a stern look from Sabrina Carpenter's father. Following the Espresso singer's Instagram post documenting her experience at the 2025 Met Gala, fans were quick to notice a playful moment where Usher, amidst his performance, fed Sabrina a cherry. However, not everyone shared their amusement, particularly Sabrina's dad, David Carpenter, who succinctly expressed his disbelief via text: "? Weird."
Sabrina, sharing the screenshot of their exchange within her photo slideshow, inadvertently sparked a lighthearted response from Usher in the comments section: "Apologies, Mr. Carpenter..."
It transpires that cherry-feeding has somewhat become Usher's signature move. This ritualistic gesture began during his Las Vegas residency and has since become a recurring feature in his various performances, including his unannounced set at this year's Met Gala where he shared the stage with Stevie Wonder.
"It all started with strawberries in Vegas," Usher had previously revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show. "So, I figured we'd experiment with all sorts of fruits until we stumbled upon the perfect one. Cherries, though, felt particularly fun and lively. There was just something erosively charming about it."
