Usher brought his signature charm and stage presence to Houston, and this time, actress Nia Long was in the spotlight. After missing his Las Vegas residency last year, Nia made sure to catch his Past, Present, Future Tour stop at the Toyota Center on Wednesday (November 27).
Fans will recall that in December 2023, the Friday star took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her biggest regret of the year—missing Usher’s iconic residency. This time, Nia wasn’t about to let the opportunity slip away, and she made her presence felt front and center during the show.
The crowd couldn’t get enough of their playful interaction as Usher turned on his charm. In the middle of his set, he embraced Nia warmly and appeared to offer her a cherry, much to the delight of the audience.
But in a cheeky twist, he redirected the treat to a woman seated next to her, leaving the crowd laughing and cheering.
The flirty exchange has since gone viral on social media, with fans praising Usher’s charisma and Nia’s undeniable glow. It was a moment that proved why Usher remains a master of connecting with his audience… and why Nia continues to be one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.
