Who doesn't love a little fruit, flirt, and fine Black men? Thanks to Usher's iconic tour, we got all three in one viral moment.
Here's what happened.
Usher's global Past Present Future tour is still going strong. Yes, the tour that had Keke Palmer twirling, Issa Rae cheesing, and cherry purchases soaring. And one of its recent stops shows why fans are still eating this tour up. Literally .
Legendary actor and forever Black heartthrob Idris Elba attended Usher's most recent performance at London's O2 Arena. He popped up in the audience, looking as fine as ever, with his beautiful wife, Sabrina Elba. The couple was dressed to the nines, and even Usher couldn't keep his cool.
Mid-performance, Usher spots Idris in the crowd and does what any of us would do—he says 'Idris?!' Social media can't get enough of Usher's honest reaction—and we don't blame him.
But it's what happened next that made this a certified culture moment.
In true lover boy fashion, Usher—who usually feeds cherries to women in the crowd as part of his sexy serenade—flipped the script. Instead of feeding Sabrina, he handed the fruit to Idris and asked him to feed it to his wife.
Idris smiled and obliged as fans watched. Sabrina did what she needed to do—and the whole scene was Black love, Black excellence, and Black culture at its finest.
Sabrina was glowing, Idris looked like the smooth gentleman he's always been, and Usher kept the moment playful and respectful. The crowd was lit, and so was the internet. Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty
The moment proved why Usher's tour still has us counting our coins and planning group trips to Europe. Cherries even look better because of the Atlanta R&B superstar.
Speaking of cherries, the tour moment has also sparked questions among fans of both Idris and Usher. Seeing so much eye candy on stage has us wondering: If you had the chance, who would you rather have feed you cherries—Usher or Idris?
Watch the video below, as you make that decision.

Pantera cancel, reschedule shows to 'grieve' Ozzy Osbourne
Pantera have announced the rescheduling and cancellation of a handful of shows in order to "mourn" the recent death of Ozzy Osbourne. This past weekend, the US heavy metal band took to social media to announce that they would be rescheduling two concerts and cancelling three more to allow members of the band and their larger team to "grieve". They wrote: "Ozzy wasn't just a legend who shaped the very foundation of heavy metal and inspired Pantera from the beginning - he was family. A mentor, a brother, and a constant presence in our lives both on and off the stage. The bond we shared with him ran far deeper than music. "In light of this profound loss, we need time and space to grieve - to be with our families, our crew, and each other as we process and honour the life of someone who meant so much to us." Pantera guitarist Zakk Wylde played in Ozzy Osbourne's solo band for close to 30 years. The death of the heavy metal pioneer and iconic Black Sabbath frontman was announced on 22 July. It came shortly after he took to the stage for the Back To The Beginning gig in Birmingham on 5 July - marking his final show both as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath.

Destiny's Child Reunites Onstage During Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour Finale In Vegas
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams reunited onstage during the final stop of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Las Vegas – and yes, the moment was as good as we thought it would be. Destiny's Child's stage moment marked the last show of Beyoncé's 32-stop tour across the U.S. and Europe. In true form, Queen Bey saved one of the biggest surprises for last. As soon as the trio emerged, concert-goers went wild. It was a dream moment for longtime fans who've been craving a full-circle performance since the Coachella 2018 cameo and Beyoncé's Super Bowl halftime show in 2013. Beyoncé, Michelle, and Kelly delivered a three-song medley that blended nostalgia and surprise — opening with 'Lose My Breath,' merging into Beyoncé's 'Energy' with Michelle and Kelly joining in for the now-legendary Mute Challenge, and closing with the fan-favorite 'Bootylicious.' Each of them took the stage with confidence, vocals, and a whole lot of style. Speaking of style, let's discuss fashion. Because the visuals alone of the trio in their gold fits are a moment. Beyoncé wore a high-cut gold sequin bodysuit with sheer mesh panels and long, layered fringe that dripped from her arms and legs. Her silhouette was curvaceous and commanding, and the gold shimmer hit under the stage lights like fire. Kelly stepped out in a gold knit bodysuit layered under shimmery wide-leg trousers with metallic texture. The fashion icon rocked trendy details, including star nips and a metallic belt. Michelle gave us fringe and fire. The Broadway star donned metallic gold pants with slits and layers of white fringe paired with a matching sparkly crop top. Throughout the Cowboy Carter Tour , Beyoncé brought out a long list of surprise guests – from country stars and rising voices to longtime collaborators and her husband Jay Z – but Destiny's Child reunion was the chef's kiss. The chemistry, the looks, and the sisterhood were unmatched. And just when fans thought the surprises were over, social media lit up again after the show. A now-viral video shows Beyoncé and her daughter, Blue Ivy, sharing sweet moments with former Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett's children (shared with Tommicus Walker) backstage. In the clips, Beyoncé warmly greets the kids, posing for photos and smiling ear to ear. Blue Ivy also poses with them. The content reminds fans of the group's sisterhood and evolution over the years. Destiny's Child will forever be 'girls' girls,' and we are here for it. SEE ALSO Destiny's Child Reunites Onstage During Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour Finale In Vegas was originally published on

Tracee Ellis Ross Rejected Oprah Winfrey Calling Her The "Poster Child For Singledom": "I Don't Want To Be That"
Tracee Ellis Ross is reflecting on Oprah's comments about her ongoing single status. The moment came in an episode of Tracee's new series, Solo Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross, which finds the Emmy-winning actor exploring the joys of the world as a single and childless woman. Reflecting on the freedom of solo travel, Tracee said, "So much of what traveling is about, is for me, not waiting for something in order to walk towards my life, in order to be in my life, in order to experience my life. I think that was why I took my first trip solo. And I know that in some ways — I mean, Oprah said it. She said that I'm the poster child for singledom. I don't want to be that." Instead, Tracee prefers to reframe the conversation as someone living on their own terms and not waiting for traditional things to add value and meaning to their life. "I want to be the poster child for being an inhabitant in your own skin," Tracee said. "For living in your own skin." Although some might see being single and childless at an older age as a negative, Tracee, 52, says it has afforded her a freedom and an experience that she might not have otherwise had. "Yes, I am a single Black woman who does not have children, but not having a relationship — long, long relationships — not having children has allowed me to explore things of my own humanity," she reflected. "It has deposited me here at 52 in an extraordinary experience that is filled with joy, loneliness, grief, exuberance, delight, like, literally all of it. And I feel available to it." While Tracee didn't specify when Oprah's comments occurred, they appear to be from a 2020 interview on her Your Live in Focus series, where Oprah told Tracee how many single women view her as "an example of what being an unmarried woman could and should look like." When asked if she ever imagined playing that role, Tracee laughed, "No. I, like many of us, was taught to grow up dreaming of my wedding, not of my life." She added, "I spent many years dreaming of my wedding, and also, waiting to be chosen. Well, here's the thing. I'm the chooser. And I can choose to get married if I want to, but in the meantime, I am choicefully single, happily, gloriously single." She repeated that message in a 2021 interview with Harper's Bazaar: "People are like, 'You're the poster child for being single.' And I was like, 'Great.' But what I would prefer is that I'm the poster child for living my life on my terms. And that there's a version of that for everyone. I don't live my life for other people. I just totally live it for me." You can (and should!) watch Solo Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross now on Roku. Trust me when I say — it's great. Let me know what you think of her reflections in the comments below, too.
