Usher narrowly avoided a medical disaster during his London show last week as he attempted to feed a fan cherries. 

At his shows, the 46-year-old singer has a well-known custom of giving cherries to women in the audience as he performs his song, There Goes My Baby, but a recently posted video online shows the sultry encounter almost taking a turn for the worst.

Usher was in good spirits as he approached the stunning blonde in the crowd as she showed him her ‘USHER’ tattoo on her upper inner arm. 

The Yeah! hitmaker asked: ‘Would you be ok if I give it a kiss?’ before holding out her arm and kissing the inking.  

He joked: ‘You’re going to get me in trouble’. 

Usher then pulled out two cherries and attempted to feed them to the woman before she leaned in and whispered in his ear.

During his performances, the singer, 46, has a popular tradition of handing out cherries to female audience members, particularly during his song, There Goes My Baby but in a new video online the steamy moment nearly ended disastrously

It seemed Usher was unable to hear the stunner as he held up the cherries to her mouth once again before she shouted over the crowds cheers, ‘I’m allergic’. 

After attempting for a third time, Usher eventually heard the concertgoer and said: ‘Oh s***, she is allergic to cherries, anyone got an EPI pen.’

He hugged the women and said, ‘I’m sorry I love you’ before adding as he walked away, ‘We almost had an emergency in here’.

It comes after a concertgoer from one of Usher’s recent shows spoke out on wild rumours that her husband filed for divorce over a steamy on-stage moment.

The rapper has been performing a string of concerts at London’s O2 Arena, and footage from his show on April 1 featured him delivering a seductive serenade to a woman in the audience.

The clip, which has been widely circulated on social media, showed Usher singing to the woman in the audience, while she performed her own dance moves.

Following a tradition which has been a fixture at his shows in the capital, Usher then pulled out a cherry which he proceeded to feed to the woman.

A clip of the steamy exchange went viral online, with Instagram account The Uncuttt then claiming that the woman’s husband has filed for divorce over the exchange.

The viral post claimed that the husband was upset that his wife, who ‘has never kissed him in public,’ appeared intimately engaged with a ‘complete stranger in the presence of 20,0000 people’.

However, the allegation had not been verified, and the woman in the video, Jimalita Tillman, has since given an interview denying the claims.

Jimalita, who hails from Chicago and works as the global director of the Harold Washington Cultural Center in the city, told WGN News that she was ‘single’.

She said: ‘That is completely false. I am single. I am a retired homeschool mom looking to expand the arts here and across the pond. I am single. You got a cherry, give me a jingle.

‘When he came around with those cherries, I said, “Well, life is a bowl of cherries, I’ll take one, maybe two.”‘

Jimalita added that she hasn’t spoken to Usher since the exchange, saying: ‘I don’t want him or his camp to feel uncomfortable. The moment was beautiful, and I’m embracing it.’

Usher – whose full name is Usher Terry Raymond IV – closed out his staggering tour at the O2 on May 8.

The singer has been wowing crowds of around 200,000 people every night with his hits like Yeah, Burn, U Remind Me and OMG.
