Amid the recent controversy surrounding Usher after his Super Bowl performance, Russell Simmons appears to be a big fan. However, his ex-wife, Kimora Lee, doesn’t seem pleased with their friendship and even hinted that they were more than just friends. Unfortunately, her post received more criticism than she expected.

Usher’s Controversial Moments of 2024

A quick look back at 2024 highlights Usher as a prominent figure on the watch list. The R&B singer, known for his charm, faced heavy criticism after his first-ever Super Bowl Halftime show. While his performance with veteran artists was well-received, it left a bittersweet feeling. Among the cheers, many criticized Usher for what they deemed inappropriate behavior, including hugging Alicia Keys on stage.

Critics also referenced his dance with Keke Palmer during his residency, accusing Usher of disrespect. Additionally, he has faced scrutiny for his alleged membership in the LGBTQ+ community.

Following his dance with Keke, the actress’s mother clarified that her daughter was not flirting with Usher, as some had suggested. According to HipHopDX, she hinted that the singer is bisexual, a comment that Usher has yet to address.

Russell Simmons Appreciates Usher

Shortly after the Super Bowl controversy settled, music producer Lil Rod mentioned that Usher had been sexually involved with Diddy. An ex-employee of Diddy came forward to support the claim. However, Usher has chosen to remain silent.

Amidst all this, Kimora Lee’s ex-husband, Russell, came out in support of Usher, expressing gratitude for Usher’s support during his own difficult times.

Was Kimora Lee’s Comment Inappropriate?

Once Russell’s comment made headlines, Kimora took to the comment section to write, “Not ‘by my bed!!’ Lolol.” She followed it up with another message on her Instagram stories, saying:

“What is this I’m seeing in the news today?? Lol, y’all some wild boys frfr.”

It didn’t take long for Kimora Lee to receive backlash from fans. Many criticized her for coming at her former husband and Usher. They were less concerned about the allegations and more focused on what they perceived as her animosity towards Russell. Some fans advised her to stop using his last name, while others referenced her current husband, who is facing fraud accusations.
